Sharing this here. Every week, Becky has great data to share. I wanted to specifically show this. Itās so helpful for the rope drop crowd. Make sure to check in with the data dump blogs ahead of your trip to see the latest trends.

Wow ā Pirates!! 
Probably a good idea to avoid ToT, as well. The rest seem like a decent chance of getting on, though thatās still pretty frustrating.

Heard ToT had unexpected maintenance on one of the elevators and thats why wait times have been bad

Yes it has now been confirmed.
Iāll be updating the lead post with the new modify rules once some of the details get confirmed.

It just occurred to me how much this can impact stacking strategy. Letās say you are PH to MK around 5 and your priorities are SM, BTMR, and HM. Now letās say you finish up at your morning park around noon and are ready to start booking LLs. The return windows for the three attractions are 3:45, 2:20, and 1:45 respectively. Prior to this week, you would have to wait until SM pushed forward to after 5, thus not starting your 2 hr timer until it did. But now:.
- Grab SM at noon, wait until it passes 5:00 and then modify.
- Grab BTMR at 2, wait until it passes 5:45 or so, then modify.
- Grab HM at 4.
Now you can make use of the 2 hr window even if your desired return time hasnāt been reached yet (as long as itās after 2PM when PH), so you can maximize your number of LLs.

I do think this is going to make things more straightforward and less stressful in a lot of ways. But still ā¦
My head hurts.

Yeah, now Iām glad I never learned the old genie ways.
I really hope I can just use these like FP refresh. Grab earliest one (with some strategy) for around 10. Get a few rides out of the way with RD. Ride first genie+ attraction. Proceed to refresh. Just have to remember one ride per day. When done with first park, stack for evening.

I think itās going to be very much like this. You can grab the first one available when youāre eligible and then refresh for drops / random availability and get a more suitable one.

Yeah this is a real game changer. When I went between Christmas and New Years last year I had to do a lot sit around and wait. Now I would make sure to pick up something every two hours to make sure I had the max number of LL to then modify.

Yes. One thing to add when building your stack: donāt let any expire, b/c expired LLās canāt be modified.
It follows that when stacking for later in the day with intention to modify, you should choose placeholder LLās with late return times initially, to reduce the number of times you to ākick the can down the roadā to keep LLās from expiring.
Example: Youāre in MK and want to stack Splash / BTMR for evening, and donāt want to do JC/PPF.
Solution: Pick JC/PPF anyway as your first LLās, so you get late return times, and modify when Splash / BTMR times get late enough.
If you pick other rides for your first/second picks, you may have to modify more than once, to keep them from expiring.
I wonder if you can modify a ride to the same ride, changing only the return time?

You can.

Thanks. Do you know if you can modify an expired LL thatās still within the official 15 minute grace period? It could open up new stacking strategies.
