I would like to see two more improvements to the app by adding a user selectable sorting ability to the Attraction List. One would be to sort the rides by the current wait time. The other would be to sort the rides by the current FastPass return time. Here is why I would like to see that:
When I'm using the app it always sorts the attraction list alphabetically (Alice comes up first - if you don't have any of the filters on). But I would like to see the list sorted by shortest wait time. That is often what I am looking for (and if that's not what I'm looking for, then sort alpha is OK). I realize that the map shows each of the wait times and that's fine, but I would also like to improve the list.
The other sorting option would let me see which attraction has the next available FastPass return time. That is often what I do mentally by poking through each of the attractions of interest, after having to scroll down the alphabetical list to get to what I want (yes I know I could click on them in the map but that is slow too).
A very simple enhancement that would be almost as good as sorting by return time would be to just show the return time (the start is all we would need) in the main list of attractions. So in effect we would see something like:
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
45 minute wait, 5:45 PM FastPass return
Buzz Lightyear
25 minute wait, 2:55 PM FastPass return
etc...
The benefit to me would be less wasted time trying to figure out my strategy for the next FastPass. This seems like a very simple enhancement to the existing app.
I do find that the filters are quite helpful. It's useful to filter by Park, then use the FastPass filter to show just the fastpass attractions in one park. That makes the list shorter to scroll through. But if we just had those sort options, or all the info at the main list, that would be so sweet.
