Disney's FastPass: A Complicated History

Caption notes

Defunctland starts with paper FastPass and explains how returning guests merge with the standby line, sharing the same ride capacity. In a simulated theme park called Shapeland, the film compares no priority pass, paper FastPass and FastPass+, tracking standby waits, overall waits and rides per guest separately. In the reported simulation, reservations can direct some visitors toward rides with spare seats, while a higher average ride count can coexist with a more uneven distribution. The guide follows that allocation trade-off using results from the film’s model.
