Extra FastPass Question

[RyMickey]

Do any FastPass machines still shoot out an "extra" Fastpass for another ride. For example, Test Track giving you a Test Track FastPass and a Honey, I Shrunk the Audience FastPass.

Also, what attractions can you get a FastPass and still get another one before the time is up? (That question kinda doesn't make sense, so let me explain.) I think I remember reading that you can get a FastPass for Lights, Motors, Action Stunt Show at MGM and get another FastPass immediately after for another attraction like ToT. What shows/rides don't restrict you from getting another Fastpass until your "ride window" begins?

Thanks for your help.

P.S. If anyone knows the answer to the following question, too, it would help since no one answered it on another thread after numerous bumps (and I know someone on these boards must know this!!!) : Does HISTA play only twice an hour (and if so, when - on the :00's and the :30's or the :15s and the :45s) or does it run continuously?

the extra fast pass thing is something usually done sporadically. the ONLY place I've ever gotten them was at Test Track. The last time I got it was for Mission:Space!! But this was a week or so before they announced the tamer version. Attendance to that ride has picked up since they have alternative riding experiences. The other time was HISTA.

I assume it has something to do with crowds. They monitor how busy the TT side of the park is and modify the units for the extra fast pass to get people to less crowded rides.

No rides do this everytime. Very sporadic. In about 18 trips, I've had it happen twice.
