A PACKED DAY

you'd have walked off the property by 2pm.

Jun 19, 2026 ran at a 9/10. Full-park conditions, lines stacked everywhere. Crowds bounced between a 4 and a 10, settling around a 9 for most of the day.

Rope-drop hard or rethink the morning

If you walk in after 9 AM, plan to save The Beast 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 10 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.
