My son and I are going 6/20-6/23 so I'm sure we will be lurking around hoping for a random soft opening. Not getting our hopes up but it would be an awesome addition to our trip!

Thanks for the heads up @FastPasser - sent my husband a message to register so we can bring the kids this time. Fingers crossed!

How available are morning FP at 60+2? Will I be likely to get TOT, RNRC and Aliens before noon?

 

[FastPasser.]

Is it supposed to be random, or is it "managers pick their favorites"?

That explains why I've never been selected. It's being administrated by the Magic Backstage people and I have no clue how they select winners.

How was the ride on the second half of SDD for you?

As a pure coaster it's not that thrilling, but as an attraction, I enjoyed it.

 

[FastPasser.]

Similar? Its an exact copy with a different theme and a roof.

So it's the same except different.

The ride system is exactly the same.

I got 11:05 AS2 for 60+1 yesterday. Plenty of TOT and RNRC at all times when I booked. 60+2 should be even easier.

SDD had nothing before evening but a 3:30ish FP popped up after I messed around a bit. We want to be out of the park earlier than that that day so I let it go.

It’s always best to grab whatever pops up and then Modify. Specific ride times show up rather than just a random pool of times.

Dhs cm friends entered the lottery for June 26 and I'm his plus one, so fingers crossed

So I've heard, but I was ok just getting AS2 at a time I wanted and RDing SDD so I'm ok with it.

If you have any other CM friends that work somewhere else, they can enter as well, and it's up to three guests.

CMs are reporting SDD was down for over 2 1/2 hours beginning at noon-ish today; those waiting in line for their “test” rides gave up and left.

oh boy here we go

A little too early to be doing this, I think. That is why they do extensive testing like this before the land opens. Virtually every single attraction that's ever opened has had situations like this behind the scenes. You can't extrapolate anything from it.

 

[FastPasser.]

Hence the name of the sessions "test and adjust".

So I'm curious about the launch system on SDD. Does it come to a stop before the second launch? Or does it just pass through and speed up.

A sense of humor does people good.

It does stop and backs up a little before it launches.

Me too!

I can barely fit in 7DMT, so I might not fit at all in SDD. They squeezed me into 7DMT once with another large person. It was not fun.

That definitely does not sound like the best way to ride 7DMT! I hope you have a better experience with SDD...I see that a CM has commented that the seats are roomier on SDD!

Me too! Mater is such a fun ride. I hope Disney World is able to maintain the surface better than Disneyland has

I am not a Cars fan but the videos of the Mater version make it look so fun! I am excited to see how the claw is incorporated in to the TSL version

It’s somewhat like the teacups but you don’t control them. It’s hard to explain. It whips you around but only every 15 seconds or so. The ride isn’t long or particularly thrilling but it’s not super boring either. I wouldn’t wait more than 15 minutes for it though.

I’m basing this off the Mater ride at DCA which is the exact same ride system.

Thanks for clarifying! I am hoping my daughter and I will be able to avoid super long lines by getting fastpasses and/or hitting up TSL during the Star Wars fireworks and Fantasmic. I am also holding out hope that Disney extends the 7AM EMH at HS in to September!

Who’s ready for the all new DVC kiosk!
