So, to me, it seems that ops needs a way to get 'attraction' capacity up.
For a park that wants to be viewed as a multi night destination...I imagine it doesn't hurt to sell three park passes and give your on site guest some type of benefit (esp if they are up long before the noon crowd).
When we went at rope drop for early entry....it was a short wait for a bus, short ride to the park, no delay at security...we pre paid for a reserved seat...since it was our locker, we went there first. No one could 'tap' anything because everything was ride now. It did not take too long to get our seat, but they were way slower than I think it should have taken.
I do not think anything went off ride now for over an hour...I really do not care about time while on vacation.
If we had gone later, it is easy to tapu then go find a locker. I found plenty to enjoy while waiting for slides...I did some as a family and our daughter got to ride more slides than us with very little inconvenience on our part of 'standing around til she hit the landing pool' (as this was never more than 20 minutes.
