They used to do this more often to control crowds. The FP machines would give you surprise fast passes to CoP and Philarmagic.
I've received them for Philharmagic. I didn't know they issued them for CoP. Good to know!They used to do this more often to control crowds. The FP machines would give you surprise fast passes to CoP and Philarmagic.
As mentioned, the "surprise FastPasses" that they give out for things that don't *need* FP are just to try and distribute people to non-busy attractions.
The FP sign at CoP is to give the Guests who don't know any better who are holding those surprise FP's a place to go rather than each one of them asking a CM "where do I enter with this?".

It's fine if you want to speculate on something, but don't try to pass it off as fact. During peak season COP and PhilarMagic (maybe others?) have Surprise Fastpasses, like they have for years. It has nothing to do with FP+, so stop trying to use it to spread hate for the new system.It's a bit of a mind game that Disney is playing for the start up of FP+. They need more FP locations so that they can get everyone to meet their 3 a day limit. I've been saying all along that they are going to control the crowds at the more popular attractions by forcing them on the public by saying that the rest are used up..but, here's one for CoP. Want it? I think we all will be surprised by the smoke and mirror show we will be witnessing when it is rolled out completely.
Even with a line that long, it'd only be a 10 minute wait IF the ride doesn't stop.TTA usually has a longer line than CoP. This past Oct the line was almost wrapped around Astro Orbitor. Very wierd......
After reading it again, I will agree that it did sound like fact. Since none of us know what the facts are yet, it didn't occur to me that anyone would look at it as anything other then my opinion. Sorry Mr. Disney Policeman, I didn't intentionally try to pass along my opinion for fact.It's fine if you want to speculate on something, but don't try to pass it off as fact.

Literally copy and pasted from a post I made just a few above yours:This is intentionally deceiving guests as part of Fastpass+. It's shameful in order to make this program work.
I'm just glad you're respecting my position as Mr. Disney Policeman.After reading it again, I will agree that it did sound like fact.

No April Fools, just a (very effective) way of spreading out the crowds.April Fools! Gotta get pretty early in the evening to fool this fella![]()
