A BUSY DAY
If you'd been here on a weekend like this,
you'd have needed a plan to get on the headliners.
Apr 18, 2026 came in at a 7/10, the kind of day where Journey to Atlantis can eat two hours of your morning. Crowds dipped to a 1 out of ten for 2 straight hours between 9 AM and 11 AM.

Early entry or bust
On a busy day, missing rope-drop means a brutal wait for Journey to Atlantis all morning.

Treat lunch as a ride
You'll queue for food too. Use that time on a sit-down with a reservation.
9 AM to 11 AM
There is no afternoon dip
Waits hold steady through close. Live wait alerts earn their keep here.
8 PM to 9 PM
The last 90 minutes is the only window
Headliners finally ease late. Skip dinner, stay late, eat after.
Every ride, by average wait.
