I wouldn't push it right until X:59 but if you enter within a few minutes of closing time you are allowed to ride. I am not sure, but I think I have read that if FOP is too full they cut off the line early? Someone might be able to verify that. In all honesty, this is not a strategy I'd count on.
They haven't done this since the first few weeks that FOP was open, and only then because they didn't want overly long lines in place when the nightly EMH started.
Disney has other processes in place to make the lines appear longer than they really are to discourage late night riders. You can often find the actual wait time to be about one-fourth of the posted wait, even on the most popular attractions.
