Front of the line all day everyday means all day everyday! It does not mean each ride once per day! This system is BAD!!
Let's say I am staying on-site for 3 nights like my trip coming this summer. This is how my schedule would look:
Day 1, 9am:
Universal...
-MIB
-BTTF
-T2-3D
-JAWS
-KONG
-EARTHQUAKE
-TWISTER
This can be done in 2-4 hrs with FOTL. If I go at 9am I am done by 1pm.
Then let's say I head over to IOA and I do:
-Spiderman
-Hulk
-Dragons
-Jurassic Park River Adventure
-Dooms Fearfall
This should take me 2-3 hrs.
At this point it is 4pm and I have ridden all of the rides I want to go on. The park is open till 11pm. I have absolutely no incentive to stay in the parks anymore because I cannot repeat my favorite attractions such as Spiderman, MIB, BTTF, Hulk, Dragons. Ok, maybe I can go back to my hotel and hang out at the pool for an hour or 2 and go get something to eat at CityWalk. Then it is 8pm. In the summer the parks are open till 11pm.. Obviously it would have been nice to go back these last 3 hours and repeat some of my favorite rides but I might as well stay in my hotel room if I don't want to wait 2 hours for Spiderman or Hulk.
Then we get to the 2nd day of my trip. I already went on every ride I am interested in, now I feel like repeating just my favorites.
At 12pm I hit:
-Hulk
-Spiderman
-Dragons
-MIB
-BTTF
Wow that probably took 2-3 hours. Unlike previous trips where I could go on MIB 5-10 times in a row to try and get a good score. Now at 3pm I am done with every attraction I am interested in today.
My point is, it takes enjoyment away from me to limit my FOTL use to once per day per ride and it limits the amount of time I want to spend in the parks which is a money loser for Universal if I am sitting in my hotel room and not in the park spending $$.
I think a fairer system would be to give on-site guests FOTL once per hour on each attraction. That way after riding once, on-site guests would move on to another attraction but they would still have the option of coming back at anytime later in the day. For example, if you ride Spiderman at 1:00, you would not be able to ride again until 2:01. Let me know if you guys agree with me about this!!
