I would be shocked if they change tiers before Jan 3. The goal of the new tiers is to deal with crowds and whether or not you think ROTR will bring them, I guarantee Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years will.
Yes. There are currently no concrete plans to change tiers or bring FP to SWGE. I suspect they will evaluate once the entire land has been opened and determine when to add FP to SWGE (presumably at some point in 2020). Once MFSR and RotR are added to FP, I would imagine they and MMRR will make up Tier 1 with everything else moved back to Tier 2 where they belong. So this will be a short, national nightmare at best.I would be shocked if they change tiers before Jan 3.

There’s really no need for four Tier 1 rides. Capacity is high enough from the three newest rides. If we assume a capacity of 1500 per hour for each, that’s 54000 in a 12-hr day. More than enough. And of course MFSR will be Tier 1. It’s a consolation when RotR sells out. Just like NRJ.I would be surprised if SDD is tier 2.
Also I’m not sure MFSR justifies tier 1.
No singles for RotR. Have fun on your trip!Thanks for all the responses. Both Star Wars rides have single rider, correct? I’m in the early stages of FP planning for our January trip
I think of it this way: DHS will have a ton of ride capacity now. So why bother screwing with tiers at all? The answer is so that people booking at 60+1 or 30 days have something of value to book. SDD is still the hottest FP in all of WDW, is still fairly low capacity, and will be less than two years old. ROTR is supposed to be transcendent (let’s hope). OTOH, MFSR hasn’t proven on either coast to have popularity at that level. I don’t think it’s nearly the consolation prize that SDD is.There’s really no need for four Tier 1 rides.

I have no idea! I’m new here.What do I know?
Just so you know, @MansionButler84 tends to know things that go beyond mere speculation...I have no idea! I’m new here.
I don’t know for certain SDD won’t be Tier 1. The other 3 will be, however. Beyond them, there’s mathematically no need for a 4th. Even as a Tier 2, SDD would obviously sell out quickly.Just so you know, @MansionButler84 tends to know things that go beyond mere speculation...
I wouldn't be surprised if both Epcot and DHS lose the tiers in a few years. AK will still need it for a while..I don’t know for certain SDD won’t be Tier 1. The other 3 will be, however. Beyond them, there’s mathematically no need for a 4th. Even as a Tier 2, SDD would obviously sell out quickly.
I wish they would do away with tiers. It’s an implicit admission that they don’t have enough worthwhile attractions.
