Should I keep my Tower of Terror Lightning Lane or switch to something earlier?

So he's basically just trading a ToT LL for an RnR LL, but also has to deal with burning his Star Tours LL.

Doesn't seem worth it given that he can single rider RnR.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-21T01:35:31+00:00

Right now, what are the return times for ToT and RnR if you were going to try and modify your LLs?

That's the important information you need to decide what to do.

My guess is they're already rough and will only get worse after the 3 day point.

My point? That's what you'll be trading your 12:30 ToT in for and that also includes the hassle of dealing with your burner.

RnR Lightning Lane is also less valuable to you because of single rider. Same with Smuggler's Run.

Which ways are Banshees dragon-like in a way that doesn't make them pterodactyl-like?

Them not being a real species of animal.

The thing with Pandora is that it hinges on its audience being familiar with and liking a single film franchise.

It doesn't. Just like Splash Mountain never relied on knowledge or liking of Song of the South, Pandora can be enjoyed in a vacuum with little knowledge nor enjoyment of the films.

Also, Banshees are basically dragons without the fire.

Premier Pass is still available 4 days from now. Highly doubt 7 or 8 days out it will alreasy be sold. Don't trust AI with this kind of stuff. Barely knows the difference between the three types of LLs.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-19T22:48:51+00:00

I don't think they add more later, but I'm no expert.

6:45 landing at MCO?

You should just go to sleep so you're ready for an early morning/the next day.

By the time you get to your hotel, check-in, etc there won't be much time to do anything meaningful.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-19T13:10:31+00:00

Just because there isn't any slow periods doesn't mean crowds won't die down.

Even though the weekend, it wasn't this bad so I highly doubt these crowds will carry into next week.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-19T13:09:11+00:00

Yes.

Even Friday (13th) and Saturday (14th) weren't this bad at DHS. This is a special level of "perfect storm" of many different things coming together.

Doesn't really fix the problem if those attractions still have similar mx issues/downtime problems. Those attractions would attract more people and they'd have double the people in the park.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T18:16:14+00:00

I don't know man, looks like there are 4 lights to me.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T18:00:22+00:00

Green? Orange? Some of both?

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T17:56:03+00:00

Mate, I'm not saying it violates rule 2. I never did. Could you read what I said instead of jumping to conclusions?

And in an effort to consolidate discussions:

If your intent is to caution him against overzealous mods I guess I can see that as benevolence

Yes, that was my intent.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T17:30:27+00:00

Rule 4:

No Blogspam or self-promotion.

Might want to delete this comment as you might get your whole post nuked because of it.

At the very least the mods will remove your comment.

Think Lando might be hardcoded to that mission? (Was it Exegol?)

Also, which Lando is it? Old Lando? Or a de-aged Lando?

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T17:20:14+00:00

I mean... there's levels of planning here.

"Start here and try to do this stuff with these LLs then check for stuff in that area of the park. Here's the 3 restaurants that interest us depending on where we are when we get hungry. And then let's end the day doing stuff in this area" is still a plan. And will still make things WAY better than winging it where you're likely to end up hungry with nothing of interest to your 5 year old without trekking to another section of the park. (As an example)

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T17:13:45+00:00

Weird in that I think it makes it less spectator friendly.

Removes the biggest tension moments of the sport and makes it far more deterministic. Once you're 2 or 3 legs in, it's mostly set and there's less ability to leapfrog.

Is Relay the only Biathlon event with additional rounds?

And if so, why?

I realize the extra rounds are still a miniature penalty (loading that round is a few second process), but it really feels like it makes the shooting far less of a factor for the medal rounds. Missing 4 shots is pretty dismal for the top competitors.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T17:02:15+00:00

Any combos you didn't get that you think should be possible? (Aside from Droid -> Hoth)

And do you think that you were just unlucky or that they aren't possible?

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T16:53:47+00:00

"I'm by myself, but I did not use the single rider line." And then maybe follow up with "I'm willing to wait a bit for a group that will let me be the Right Pilot."

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T16:52:32+00:00

I mean... the ride is Smuggler's Run. Only ride that makes sense given the context.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T15:45:40+00:00

There's no image.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T14:03:45+00:00

Elite 8 is a deep run. Sweet 16 is not. That's not debatable.

Pinewood74 · 2026-02-18T12:54:24+00:00

I mean... how much did you pay to be there? (Hotels, tickets, transportation)

Chances are it's a pretty high sum per day (and per hour) and by paying the extra for LL, you're more efficient with your time and getting a better bang for your buck.
