I used to always make reservations, but I could never get a better spot at the rail by making a reservation than not making one. Also, most of the landing were telling me they were going out even though they weren't sure because they wanted to get me to confirm my reservation. And then they would ask for my phone number when I made a reservation, but not call me when they decided to cancel. I learned just to show up early to get a good spot. Making a reservation is a waste of time. Unless you can point me to a landing that will give me a spot at the rail in accordance with my reservation and will go out when they say they will go out.
