The median wait climbs into the 50 to 60 range through the afternoon and stays in the 40s and 50s for hours, then falls into the teens or twenties by the final hour. Save it for the last two hours instead of fighting the midday peak.

The median wait hits 70 minutes by midmorning and holds in the 60s most of the day before easing into the 30s and 40s in the final two hours. Rope drop still runs 50 to 55 minutes, so the last two hours before close is the bigger discount.

The median wait starts at just 13 minutes at rope drop, then climbs to 40 minutes within a couple hours and holds there most of the day. Ride it first thing, before the line builds up.

The median wait starts around 25 to 40 minutes at open, then climbs to 60 to 70 minutes by midafternoon and rarely drops below 50 the rest of the day. Rope drop is the only real window before the line settles in for the long haul.

The median wait peaks around 45 to 50 minutes by late morning, then eases down to 15 minutes in the final two hours. Rope drop runs a bit higher, in the low 20s, so late in the day is the better bet.

The median wait opens at about 15 minutes, climbs to 40 to 45 by late morning, then settles back down to 12 to 15 minutes in the final two hours. Rope drop or the last two hours both beat the midday rush.
