Epcot- Spaceship Earth, Mission:Space, Test Track
Well, if you think Star Tours and Spaceship Earth are headliner attractions, then you and I define that term very differently.
I suppose you just forgot to complain about the people who say FP+ is better simply because they like it more. Just an oversight by you, I'm sure.
SSE is what most people think of when the think of Epcot. Last time I was there it had a 60 min wait the whole time (although I was there on a very busy weekend) Star Tours, however, is definitely a headliner, waits are low due to its high capacity. Then again, everything is a headliner when there are only five rides in the park...
Tiering is something that has been mentioned by people, but it was never a main point of mine. To me, the main advantages of EP over FP are that you are not limited to only three rides, and you don't have to lock yourself into 1-hour windows that are often set as much as 60 days in advance.
It may not have been your main point, but you used it, and it's wrong.
And, for the third time, your other arguments are perfectly valid (Even if some people, including myself, don't necessarily agree)
Sorry, but the tier system argument is not wrong, no matter how many times you lay on the floor and kick and scream and say that it is. Bottom line is Disney uses a tier system and Universal does not.
Disney has a tier system where you get to choose which of the most popular attractions you want to ride. Universal has a "tier" system (notice the quotes) where they choose which of the most popular attractions you get to ride. Similar systems, different names.
So what does Harry come under... appropriate exclusion? The only reason it isn't called a tier system is because there is no option. At least at Disney you can chose one to go to with a FP. Not so with Harry and his little band of Wizards. BTW, at Disney, Epcot's tier makes you chose between Soarin and T.T., however, T.T. has a single rider line and you can chose to do it that way. At DHS the choice is between ToT and TSMM, that one is tougher but it really is a no brainer to take the TSMM one because it's never as long a wait at ToT. RnRC has a single rider line as well that can expedite the ride time.
Okay, call it what you want, but Universal's "tier" system (notice the quotes?) lets you ride all but one attraction in each park. Disney's tier system lets you ride only three attractions in each park. Sorry, but anyone who prefers the Disney system is not functioning at full mental capacity. Unless, money is the issue for them.
No, the tier system isn't what limits the rides to 3 per day. Maybe it's you that isn't functioning at full mental capacity if you think that's what it does. The tier system is only in place at 2 of the parks, so what would it even have to do with the other parks. Also, as @Goofyernmost said, Test Track and RNRC have single rider lines, so you can go on all the headliners you were complaining about before.
Listen, you're the one making this all about the tier system. I only mentioned the tier system as one of several reasons why EP is better. If you like a system better that limits you to three choices and locks you into a one hour window, which you have said you do, that's fine. Or, maybe you just can't afford the extra cost of the EP. That's fine too. I on the other hand, prefer the system that allows acces to many more attractions and doesn't make me lock into a one hour window two months ahead of time. Oh, and the extra cost for the EP is nothing to me.
Oh and one more thing. I prefer to vacation and have fun with my family. You and your family can have a blast splitting up and riding the rides all by yourself in the single rider lines though.
So saying someone who prefers Disney's system is not functioning at full mental capacity, unless money is this issue, is totally unfair because Universal's System relies on and is built around money. There is no Express Pass without $$$. So let's not jump to insults.
This is what you said
And this is how I replied
And about this however, although this is just my opinion and I don't want to start an argument, I see my family all the time, I'm not at Disney all the time. I 100% understand that many people don't use it, but for the people who like it, it's nice to have the option.
Ummm, yeah. Yea! Quality time with the family is almost as fun as quality time with my dentist. Only without the laughing gas.
I would advise against EP in mid November. That is the off season between Halloween Horror Nights and The Who-lidays. Just do Despicable Me first, then Gringott's. Those will be the only 2 attractions with major lines.We're just doing a one park ticket, Universal studios side only. We've done IOA and weren't impressed, except for HP stuff so are not doing that side again. So,just one day and studios side only. This will be mid November, so not sure if it will be very busy or not? I think we will go ahead and get the EP, as you did, too. I don't want to wait all day for each ride when we only have one day for studios side. Thanks for your post
I simply stated that the extra cost of the EP is something that I can afford. And you know what, I can. I never once put anyone down who can't afford it. So, since YOU have been rude to me by claiming that I put others down who can't afford it, why don't you point out exactly where I did that, or else you can apologize.
