News Round Up 2018

Lately, with the limited number of experiences in HS, I was able to get several FP+ for TSMM. Last May my Son and I rode it 4 times. We were able to just keep getting a fast pass for it.

That's what I want to hear. SDD looks fun, but if we can ride TSMM 2 or 3 times that's a win for our family.

Yes AlienSS (we REALLY need to come up with a good acronym for this one) should not have nearly the lines of the other two, though initially I'm sure they will be crazy long, but even Mater's stabilized at 20-40 minutes after Carsland was opened for 6 months, so I really think you'll see the same thing here.

What I am also hoping that these two rides (SDD and AlienSS) will draw FP+ away from TSMM that maybe you can actually snatch a TSMM FP later in the day. (Limiting folks to one out of all 3 should do that.)

I think AS2 is the best we can do for an abreviation

On other threads, I've seen acronym as AS2...

EDITED: Oops, TheMaxRebo beat me to it

I have a feeling my kids will love this - the launch through the “Go!” Circles looks pretty cool!

I was thinking "Baby's first inductive launch coaster". I said it early on - love the idea of an inductive launch on a milder coaster. Such a great idea.

New ‘Disney After Hours’ Dates Announced; Enter For a Chance to Join Us at Magic Kingdom Park

Well, THAT'S a great contest. Looked closer at the rules Two tickets on June 28th ONLY. So unless you will be in Florida on those dates, no point in even entering. (Oh, but it includes parking!)

Edit: Even worse - the entry window is two hours long 11 am to 1 PM. Screw it - I entered just because this annoys me so. I'll give it to a friend if I win.

We found that both trips since the third rail (term of speech) we were able to get three rides in the first hour and still have our fast pass to come back to.

Our last trip we didn’t it once at park opening, once with or fast pass, and then once with our bonus “4th” fastpass as there were still some available - I expect that even more with the new TSL rides I would think being a higher FP priority for most people

AS2 it is. Does that makes Slinky Dog SD2?

Can also confirm I went to Epcot one morning last summer and got a TSMM fastpass for later that day. It’s not a guarantee but it’s easier than it used to be (and I’m sure the rest of the TSL attractions will only increase availability)

And the crowd going there at rope drop will probably dwindle with each new opening. But, this could all be counterbalanced with them not staffing it as much as numbers dwindle a little.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but...

This is a really interesting look at Toy Story Land and gets me very excited

It will be VERY interesting to see how they do tiering in that park once SW:GE opens. You know the two SW rides will get their own tier, but where does that put rides like M&MRR and the TSL rides. Are they also "Tier 1"? Or do they even make THREE tiers? It's all very interesting to think about.

It got worse.

I entered but I believe the rules say Florida residents only.

Avengers 4 could be a 3 hour film according to reports.

My guess would be the two Star Wars attractions and the new Mickey Minnie Runaway Railroad Ride will be Tier 1 and everything else will be tier 2

honestly, the pacing of Infinity War was so good it really didn't feel like it was *that* long so hopefully they can maintain that for Avengers 4

Being a resident of the respective state is pretty standard for the meetups. As is the 2 hour entry window.
The only thing abnormal about this event is how far in advance the entry is
