They don't always use Fastpass, but it is still available if they decide to use it. It is still listed as a FASTPASS attraction though.
Ironically, Lights Motors Action is a Daisy attraction, yet hasn't used FP in quite a while and isn't listed as a FASTPASS attraction.
Just got home last night. We had 3 vouchers to use and saved them for Mon, Tues & Wed. They came in VERY handy as it was so busy that MK was at capacity starting on Mon. Anyway, we redeemed our first voucher on Mon. at HS. We decided to use one at Lights, Motors Action. We stopped by the FP machines & noticed they were all covered except for the special one. We got our FP's then went to go in and they weren't TAKING THEM at all. The CM said he didn't know why the machine was uncovered but we were sort of ticked that we USED one of the attractions. SOO, later, we were having dinner at Mama's and DS is a real chatterbox and he starts telling our server about how we used (wasted) one of our uses and next thing we know, she'd told the manager at Mama's about it and the manager came over with a yellow slip for a one-time any use FP!! How great was that!? So DS wanted to use it for TOT. We go over there and it was broken down!! So we ended up not getting to use it as we had a regular FP for RR and after we used it the park was closing. We kept the slip and the next day we did MK in the morning for EMH's until about 11:00 or so, just regular old fashioned working the system. Then we left for Epcot to redeem our vouchers over there for the evening as we had a dinner ADR there that night. It took a long time to get there as it was so busy. After we redeemed our vouchers (around Noon) we asked the Will Call CM if it would be possible to exchange the slip (we told her the whole story of the silly LMA thing) and she said "not a problem" and she gave us a new slip good at Epcot. Felt like pixie dust for sure!
ANYWAY, we came back that evening for dinner, ate, watched Illuminations then set out to use our FP's in Future World. No problem at Soarin' - the special FP machine was uncovered. So we went ahead & redeemed the yellow slip there too and rode it 2x figuring we still had 2 Donald's left so we'd go ride TT 2x. Got over to TT and the machines were all covered up! So we asked how we could redeem our FP's and the CM said they were not valid during EMH's!!! We were like but we JUST USED THEM at Soarin'. He was like well you won't here! Then he asked if we wanted to talk to someone else and we said YES! We weren't giving up so easily as we'd waited all day to use them. So the CM in charge of TT that evening came out & said they don't take the special FP's during EMH's and we sort of pushed it a little since we'd just used them at Soarin' so he pulled out 1 set of instant FP cards from his pocket and gave them to us so we could ride it one time. So we essentially wasted 1 ride by waiting. Of course DS kept yelling at us that we should've saved the yellow slip for TT but WHO KNEW?! There is obviously still some discrepancies and miscommunication among the CM's as to using them during EMH's. Our advice is to not wait until late to redeem them - go to your attractions & pull your FP's before it's too late so you don't have to argue over it.
On Wed. we did early open at AK, got a FP for EE and rode EE 3x standby while the line was short. We'd already been there one other day and had already done Kali, Dinosaur, Flights of Wonder & the Safari so really were just there for an EE fix. DS also rode Primevil Whirl (I HATE that one so I sit on a bench for that.) We finished AK by about 10:00 and went over to MK to redeem our last voucher. We grabbed one reg. FP for Space Mtn with a return time of like 3:10, used one of the GAD FP's at Space then went on to use our FP's at all the other attractions they were good for. By the time we got over to Adventure Land the wait times were over 100 minutes at just about everything so the FP's came in VERY HANDY.
