Rope Drop Tactics

[ThemeParks4Life]

My current priority order if I only have a day:

Donkey Kong (low capacity + outdoor queue means this needs to get done ASAP)
Monsters
Ministry
Stardust Racers
Hiccup's Wing Gliders
The rest

Since I've already been on Mario Kart in Hollywood, it won't be a high priority/I'll be fine using single rider whenever.

My hope is that we don't see a "At Capacity" scenario hours before the park closes officially. I'd hate to see that as hopping into line at park close for one last ride is a great tip to maximize the day.

My current plan is to rope drop Ministry and then hit Monsters later in the day once everything else is done or towards the end of the day.

1. DK
2. Monsters
3. Ministry

Makes the most sense.

Call me crazy, but looking at this picture...the entrace for SNW looks to be equidistant from Helios as to the park entrance (esp since the portal points towards Helios). I'm sure we will get more information once park opens but just thought it looked interesting:

Physically no. The SNW portal to Chronos is 583 ft., while SNW portal to Helios (center) is ~930 ft., nearly double. Just appears farther from this angle.

So I'm not a US citizen and have no plans to return to Florida for a few years, so by the time I visit the Epic ride strategy would've inevitably changed, but here's where I'm at if I were to visit on opening day:

1) Monsters Unchained.
2) Curse of the Werewolf *IF* the queue is 30mins or less (I'm not hyped for it like I am for Unchained).
2/3) Battle at the Ministry.
4) La Cirque Arcanus if another show is due to start in 30mins or less after I get off Ministry.
4/5) A very belated lunch at Das Stakehaus / Burning Blade Tavern, followed by Werewolf if I haven't already ridden it.
6) Hiccup's Wing Gliders.
7) Unchained re-ride because by now I've done everything I want to.
8) If there's time I'll do Bowser's Challenge and Power-Up Band activities.
9) Dinner at Pizza Moon or Mead Hall.
10) Skipping the fireworks (I hate fireworks) and queuing for Ministry if possible right before park close.

I'm expecting this to be a way too optimistic plan that isn't conservative enough, and I'm sure I won't be able to get everything on here done at opening day if I was to theoretically visit. Literally all I want to do is ride Unchained, Ministry, and get lunch at Dark Universe. I'd preferably like to meet Dart and play with the interactive merch at some of the lands too. Wing Gliders would be great but honestly I'm fine to miss it.

Eating lunch then riding on Curse of the Werewolf is a curse I'd not dare wish on my poor tum-tum.
