If trying for a boarding group, even a brief line stoppage would drive me nuts, so I don't see giving this a try myself.

It was definitely too close for comfort for me. I'm obnoxiously early for everything, though.

I'd be comfortable with it leaving an hour prior to park open, but half hour is not enough for my comfort. And what a shame. DHS is a MESS of a back up of cars and buses trying to get in. They have this great transportation system that bypasses all of the streets and deposits you by the entrance. But nope. We're going to open it just late enough to make it unusable.

It almost makes me think they are scheduling that way on purpose. Can you imagine how mad people would be coming off the Skyliner if it stopped just long enough for them to miss the golden minute?

Yep. I think it will always have the chance of unpredictable stopping.

It was running at 6:30am for 7am EMH Thanksgiving week. We took it because we weren't trying to RD Slinky of Smugglers.

Is it just me or did they seem to artificially try to cut it closer than they had too? They got there with only a few people ahead of them, then walked around some and bot back in line in a much farther from the front spot? Huh?

They said they did this on purpose to show what it would be like for the average person. Not everyone is gonna be first in line.
