I am sure it is on here somewhere but does anyone know the capacity of the alien ride? I was wondering if this would be not too bad to do as standby or ropedrop. We are going in October and probably our FP plan will be SDD and then possibly get TSM as a 4th FP later but I know my son might want to ride the alien ride too.

If it runs at the same capacity as Mater’s:

“Riders board trailers towed by each of the 22 baby tractors, each with a single bench seat that can accommodate up to three passengers; two adults and a child or one adult and two children. Each bench has a single seatbelt. The ride has an official capacity of 600 riders per hour, and a height requirement of 32 inches.”

I've ridden Mater at DCA, and the loading was very similar to Tea Party.

Just got an AP summer email and hoped to see TSL preview in there, nope just a special screening of Incredibles 2

What is everyone's thoughts on TSL during 7am EMHs? If we are there before 7am, do you all think it's feasible to ride both Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers in that time?

Me neither. I've emailed Disney and tried to get those darn emails, but never do. As Canadians, we don't get the AP magic bands or stickers mailed to us either. We get them shipped to our Disney hotels, but they often get lost in the mail.

You hoped but did you still think that there would be previews?

 

[PurpleJesus]

I'm just excited to see Hollywood Studios getting its first step back towards being a full day park, again. Can't wait to see some previews!

 

[Aron1012]

You hoped but did you still think that there would be previews?

So that is our definite no? But seriously do you have any guess on potential soft openings, or are those likely even out?

I am going to say if you are at the very front of rope drop there is a small chance of doing both

What about doing Aliens and TSMM?

That would be tough for me to handle. I've got that disease that makes it impossible for me to wear an unpainted, non-customized band that doesn't match my outfit for the day...

I think you'll get in 1 ride during that first hour. For all 3 Toy story rides, by the time you get off the first ride I'd anticipate a 45+ min wait at the other two rides

It's hard to say. Trying to compare to Pandora, where one ride is extremely awesome and the other ride is meh, doesn't really work. However, A2S looks sort of meh, but I know that I am willing to ride Mater several times in a row if I can. So, maybe there's more appeal than I think. If you get to the park before 6am and are at the rope/head of the crowd, then you "might" be able to get SDD followed by a not horribly long A2S wait. I think you have to do SDD first though; I think A2S has the least appeal. But who really knows

What about doing Aliens and TSMM?

That one is much harder to guess, because past history has show how popular TSMM is. However, all 3 lanes will be open, so that will help. You might be in the same position as my previous reply, assuming you are like the first 10 people at the park, before 6am on a 7am EMH day. 8am opening and probably still closer to 6am than 7am.

So what time is everyone getting there on June 30?

 

[mydisneyanytime]

We aren't getting there until around 11. Our fast past for aliens isn't until 12:15 so we are in no hurry. My son has a DAS so I am hoping that we can get it for slinky dog later in the afternoon or evening. We have a dinner reservation at 5:40.

wasthinking of just the two new rides not TSMM if you want to add this in no way you will do both. I would do SD first then head to the spinning one next then TSMM last I think if you get there like 30-45 minutes before park opens for EMH you might get done in like 90-120 minutes

So what time is everyone getting there on June 30?

I am hoping to be at the parks by 7 am ( I am surpriest there is no EMH that morning) I was not able to get any FP for the two new rides in TSL ( so I will have to use my DAS) I keep checking all the time but I am thinking I will not get any FP. I have another week-long trip planes for September that I should be able to get FP for some of the rides.

Aiming for 7am, but will probably end up closer to 730am.

Thanks everyone. Based on that, since we will be doing rider swap and since I'm able to get FP+ for Alien Swirling Saucers for the evening, we will head to SDD and hope the wait isn't terrible, then head out of TSL to everything else.
