For a place like Disney, equipping all attraction CMs with iPads would take nothing at all...perhaps the answer is to provide the iPads, and then allow guests with a DAS to get a return time FOR any ride AT any ride. Thinking WDW...if walking by Buzz and you want a return time for BTMRR, the CM at Buzz could give it to you.
Most rides at wdw now have computers for fast pass plus I am sure when they put RFID in das they could do what your saying very easily I just think they are taking their time to get fast pass plus up and running. Then will add more RFID components to other areas. Because they also have handheld scanners that could be used at the exit of the ride for you next ride. So if your at buzz when you exit you could get a return time for let say Peter Pan. Disney has spent more money on knowing where guest are then anywhere else so now they can see how many people on in any stand by and have more accurate counts and see how many people have fast pass plus and use that to give a more accurate return time. I just think we will see. A better system in the near future I know people said they should of waited but they spending to much on fast pass plus and my magic and magic bands to even try to delay it to factor in das into RFID for now. They have everything in place they have kiosk that you can make same day fast pass plus that they can use for das each attraction has a computer that they can use for both. What they should do for now is give you one of those cards they give you when you enter a ride to see the wait time so you get a return time for a ride they give a guest one scan it then when they get to the ride they scan it once you get on as a measure to see wheatear your waiting longer then your supposed to. It be their to give them data so they can go back and see wheatear the ones given the red card spent more time then the time they was given so they could look at why.
