A PACKED DAY

If you'd been here on a weekend like this,
you'd have gotten three rides done, max, without a serious plan.

The day, hour by hour.

12 PM to 12 PM · crowd level 1–10
7
12 PM
12 PM to 10 AM
Rope-drop hard or rethink the morning

If you walk in after 9 AM, plan to save Apollo's Chariot 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.
