Ok, I exaggerate, my kids have been binging Scooby Doo, but I’ve noticed some trends on the boards related to 4th and more FPs. I feel like people are reporting very different experiences and it goes beyond what would be expected (ie, it's easier to get FPs with a smaller party on a less busy day). Some people are reporting much better experiences than others and I think it's worth a little investigation to see if there are some trends that we can identify that might help people make changes to get a better experience or at least understand why others have a different experience.
So. To look for trends, I need data.
If you are an FP user who uses the refreshing strategy, I would love to get the following info from you. Please only provide this data if you regularly refresh to get better FPs and better times. If you're not doing that, please don't participate because it could skew the results.
For those of you willing to play along, could you please rate your experience given the following definitions and provide the info below? Thanks much.
Ratings for your 4th (and more) FP experience:
Excellent: You can get anything you want for a 4th including rides like FOP, 7DMT, FEA, and others often with no more than 10 or 15 mins of refreshing even during busy park times.
Good: You can get a lot of good FPs pretty easily with 15 minutes of refreshing (things like HM, TT, EE), you can get better FPs or move them up with longer than 15 minutes of refreshing and you might occasionally get lucky and get FOP, FEA, 7DMTs, etc.
Not Great: You refresh repeatedly and you can get kid rides like IASW without a problem but things like the mountains are very elusive even with a lot of time spent while in lines refreshing. You tend to give up and forget about it because it's too much work for not enough reward.
