Rope-drop hard or rethink the morning
If you walk in after 9 AM, plan to save Cobra's Curse for the last hour instead.
11 AM to 1 PM
Sit-down lunch, no exceptions
Quick-service waits balloon on days like this. A reservation buys you AC and time.
2 PM to 6 PM
Take a break, come back at 7
Crowds don't thin. Leave the park, swim, return for the last 90 minutes.
8 PM to 12 PM
One more ride, then leave
Even at close, waits hold long. Pick one ride and get out before the parking lot does its worst.
Every ride, by average wait.
