Toy Story Midway Mania at TDS

[The Duck]

A Facebook friend of mine is a CM at Tokyo Disney Sea. Last night she posted on her page that the wait time for TSMM was 500 minutes! (That's over 8 hours!)
Thinking that her English might be a bit off (She's Japanese), I sent her a message asking if she was serious about the 500 minute wait time. She replied, "Yes" and included several emoticons indicating that she was about to go crazy.
And I thought that a 2 hour wait was insane for this ride.

500 minutes?! Would they even let that sort of wait happen? Thats crazy.

That's insane. And i thought Soarin's wait was bad.

 

[maryszhi]

and i thought soarin' was bad... i wouldn't wait in that line for 8 hours just to ride mania ..... but we do have to remember disney seas is a popular park and can hold alot of people. i wouldn't be surprised if this was true.

I can't imagine how'd you eat...or go to the bathroom.

 

[WDWmazprty]

No attraction, and I mean no attraction is worth an 8 hour wait.

 

[ppodangel]

Wow that really is devotion!!

I know TDR is known for some pretty extreme wait times, but even that seems pushing it.

That is insanity. I wouldn't wait 8 hours for 1 attraction. The line seems to a result 2 things besides TDS being a popular park. Toy Story Midway Mania is naturally a popular ride it tells me combined with it being a low capcity ride.

What this does is proves my theory of DHS wrong. My theory was if DHS gets more family friendly rides, Toy Story Midway Mania lines would go down.

you also have to remember they have one of the highest populations in the world, which is why it is so very popular

Absolute madness.
I have nothing against the ride, but why a relatively simple 3D shooting gallery video game has been, arguably, the most popular attraction in Disney parks history simple astounds me.

I also, for the life of me, can't understand why it costs so much to design and build these things.

 

[Crush Dude!]

Would not wait 8 hours for ANYTHING!!!!!

If you're referring to Tokyo's dense population, definitely. They're used to waiting in line for lots of things. Somehow I've either been lucky the two times I've been to TDR that I didn't experience many crowds, in fact, when I visited TDS a few months ago, everything was a walk-on!

 

[Redsky89]

What! That's over 30,000 seconds! **throws hands in air**

 

[Bairstow]

This is one of the few rides that would be just as fun if you experienced it on an iPad.

 

[olinecoach61]

8 hours is insane.

 

[rufio]

I wouldn't wait 8 hours for anything at Disney World. Ever.

we have done Midway Mania exactly once. We made early reservations so we could be in the park when it opened. My hubby RAN right to the fast pass line. he waited 20 minutes to get a fast pass for 6 hours later.... I enjoyed the ride, but not that much. I dont wait 1 hour for this ride. Have to admire people who wait 8. Of course... when do you eat?

 

[ellie-badge]

That is absolutely crazy.

Sheer madness, can't believe people are willing to wait that long for a ride which IMO isn't even that good!
