Going the week after July 4th. Will be at MK on 7/7. My teenage boys love the mountains, so I'm looking for a RD/FP+ strategy for riding the three mountains twice each.
Unfortunately, there is EMM that day so RDing Space might not be as feasible as I'd prefer. Usually we can get on Space in under 10 mins at RD but I've heard that the EMM crowd sometimes hits Space at park opening causing more of a delay. Will that matter?
Anyway - here are my thoughts - and I would appreciate any other strategies to help me achieve my goal:
I have two approaches:
1. Make 11am FP for Space, Noon for Splash and 1PM for BTMRR and try to RD all three before Noon expiration of the Space FP
Pros: I definitely think this is doable
Cons: Limits the use of SDFP until we use up the last FP. Some back and forth to Space (would a better order of rides work instead??)
-or-
2. Ride them all back to back. Make earlier FP (start at 9 for Space, 10 for Splash, 11 for BTMRR) - then try the following:
- RD Space, then use 9am FP
- RD Splash next, then use 10am FP
- RD BTMRR next, and then use 11am FP
