A BUSY DAY
If you'd been here on a weekend like this,
you'd have spent half the day in queues.
Jan 4, 2026 came in at a 7/10, the kind of day where Penguin Trek can eat two hours of your morning. Crowds held steady around a 7 from open through close.

Treat lunch as a ride
You'll queue for food too. Use that time on a sit-down with a reservation.

There is no afternoon dip
Waits hold steady through close. Live wait alerts earn their keep here.
8 PM to 12 PM
The last 90 minutes is the only window
