Touring strategy starts here. Top Thrill 2 climbs steeply through the morning on moderate days.

Eat before 11 or after 2

Quick-service queues stack between 11:30 and 1:30. Plan around them.

2 PM to 6 PM
Mid-afternoon dip is real but brief

The window around 2 PM is your friend. Use it on Top Thrill 2 or whatever you've been putting off.

Lines drop sharply once the night winds down. Wait it out, then re-ride.
