MGM Morning - TOT or RnRC first?

[scgustin]

I know there are strategies about which one to ride first, which to grab a fast pass for, and what order to do it in. I just wondered what everyone's approach to ToT and RnRC. Get a fastpass for TOT, ride RnRC standby, then get fastpass for RnRC?


What's everyone think

Not sure it really matters which way round, but I would do RnR and get a fastpass for TOT.

We have done it both ways and haven't really come across too much of a delay in either method. These are just attractions that you really want to take advantage of the EMHs to enjoy if at all possible.

Enjoy!!

For some reason we always fast pass Rockin' and go to TOT....
Where's Penndel, PA??

Here's how we always do this...
When the park opens we head straight to RNR, grab a FP, ride RNR then head over to TOT and ride it. The wait for TOT that early has never been longer than 15 minutes for us. Then later on we ride RNR a second time with the FP, since that is our favorite!!!

I've never had to get a fast pass for either if I'm there when they first open. TOT has less capacity than RNRC, because they don't operate all elevators first thing in the morning, so run to it first and get on with no wait, then head over to RNRC and most I've had to wait is 10-15 minutes at that point and didn't need a fast pass at all.

Oops!! Duplicate post!!

We seem to always do TT first, grab a FP, then RR as many times as we can until the FP time comes up and we ride TT again. Then we need to do something tame!

This is basically what we try to do. In addition to this, we will get a FP for TOT before our 2nd ride on RNR. It is only fair that if we ride RNR twice, we have to ride TOT twice.

Both standby lines move fairly well in the morning until FP returns start kicking in. It seems like during our last visit that the initial return time for TOT started later than the one for RNR. I don't know if this is always the case. The ride with the shortest wait until FP returns start may be best one to get the 1st FP on.

We were in the standby line on TOT for a repeat ride (maybe a 3rd ride?) and were moving along at a good pace until suddenly the FP returns became active; the line slowed significantly at that point. People will queue up at the FP entrance waiting until the clock hits their return time.

Regardless of the season, first thing in the morning we manage to ride both in either order without FP, in fact, sometimes passes aren't being distributed yet. After doing both, we grab a FP for whichever we'd like to repeat and we head back up the street to do something else until FP time.

Most of the time you can ride both with not a bad wait for the second. I usually go Tower first then Coaster.
