Topic: Riding TSMM on 6/18

2	FerretAfros Fri 4/25/2008 3:34p	The day after the opening could very well be a 4 hour line, but there's really no way to predict anything like this until they start testing it. Then, we will have some idea of how quickly the line moves (more like Dumbo speed or like Pirates speed). By then we should also have some idea if this ride will appeal to a lot of people. The more people it appeals to, and the slower the line, the longer it will be. I'm sure by later in the summer the line will be down to an hour or two (like Nemo, but with a higher capacity), but at this point, there's really no way to guess what it will be like.

4	Hans Reinhardt Fri 4/25/2008 11:02p	There was a pretty big ad for TSMM in today's San Francisco Chronicle, which leads me to believe that Disney is hoping to drive attendance at the Resort with this new attraction.
5	ni_teach Mon 4/28/2008 2:41p	jchurch78 said: "....or if it's going to have fastpass?" Almost everyone has said that there will be NO fastpass for this attraction.
6	Hans Reinhardt Mon 4/28/2008 5:45p	Do they even put Fastpass stations on new attractions anymore? I think Buzz was the last one.
7	FerretAfros Mon 4/28/2008 10:22p	It seems like they are kind of phasing them out, or only putting them on attractions that can really handle the crowds. I doubt that TSMM will have a huge capacity, but it also won't be tiny. The line seems like it should get to a pretty reasonable wait time, making FP pretty useless. I think the last big addition to get it anywhere was Everest, which has a pretty high capacity, so the standby line will still move pretty quickly.
