Epcot - Norway tier?

[Sue M]

Sorry if this has been asked, I have to do my FPs Tuesday. For those of you who already done your FPs for August is the new Frozen ride a Tier 1 or 2? I hate these tiers in Epcot and DHS.

Frozen Ever After is Tier 1. So is Soarin', Test Track, Illuminations, and Living with the Land.

Mission Space is Tier 2 again.

Also note that the Anna And Elsa meet and greet won't have a fast pass option when it's in Norway

Living with the Land. That's funny, although I ride it every time.

I love it and ride it multiple times, but I was really hoping and thought they were going to move this to tier 2 once FEA opened.

Basically anything you really want to ride will be Tier 1. After all why should you think the fancy system would actually allow you to plan rides you want to go on?

After all back when there were paper fast passes you could not get fast passes for all these rides... or could you?

(Yes, I am bitter! I hate the new system!)

That's why it's tier 1....because of you! And me..and that other poster guy

We went over Christmas and I was amazed to see it get to over an hour wait within an hour of park opening.

 

[Jadyreen1282]

It did that on us in September. Wait was am hour. We love that green house. We did the seeds tour too. I hope they keep it around.

Right? Not to mention, little to no wait for Imagination, Living With the Land, and The Seas With Nemo and Friends before the new system. Ugh.

I was afraid of that thanks. I don't know what the point of tier 2 FP is? You don't need a FP for any of those. Thanks Disney.

You do need them in peak times. But I know, Tier 1 is painfully bloated, and Tier 2 is anorexic.

Yup . Good thing we don't go during peak times.

I too love living with the land and ride it every time....but....I still can only imagine the let-down that a new WDW guest experiences when they use their one and only tier 1 Epcot pass on living with the land. This is a great attraction but not in an "ooo-Ahhh" kinda way that I would expect for an e-ticket attraction.

Just curious btw....what is tier 3 in Epcot? Ellen's energy adventure? The Mexico boat ride?

 

[BrittyRo]

The only thing worth it in Tier 2 is Spaceship Earth. Living with the Land should be moved down.

 

[AliceinMaryland]

Maybe when FEA finally opens, they will move Living with the land to tier 2

 

[Pluto80]

Seems bonkers that Living with the Land is still tier one.

I suspect that it's about spreading out the crowd - not having too many people in one location.
As far as not getting FPP for our top attractions at parks with tiers; again, I think there is a crowd-control reason. Without tiers, the vast vast majority would FPP only 3 or 4 attractions at Epcot making FPP rezzies a cutthroat nightmare worse than it is now... Please don't mix my feelings with my suspicions about crowd spreading strategy - I love, love, loved the legacy FP system! But understanding the current FPP system helps me to be somewhat less frustrated...

 

[Pluto80]

Yes, I see where you're coming from there. Have to admit, I prefer this new system, saves a lot of going backwards and forwards.

FEA is already a Tier 1 FP, yet Living with the Land is still Tier 1, unfortunately.

Future World has a lot of attractions no one is really interested in- more so than any other park, imo. This is the real problem: Disney's failure to clear out the chaff (Ellen's Energy Adventure, most of Innoventions, etc., etc.) and replace them with world class attractions. There should also be more attractions in World Showcase: an interesting/entertaining boat ride for each country, for example.

If they would do that, there would be no need for tiering.
