Be at the gates before they open

Touring strategy starts here. Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry climbs steeply through the morning on moderate days.

11 AM to 1 PM
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 Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry or whatever you've been putting off.

8 PM to 9 PM
Closing rush is your friend

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

Every ride, by land.
