Arrive for 12:00. Queues climb to their peak around 17:00 and fall back through the afternoon; the last hour or two is the quietest the headliners get all day.

Ride these first

The headliners: longest queues, worst by late morning

  1. 1Nattsvart på Gasten ~38 min typical · up to 40 at peak · worst around 4pm38m
  2. 2Balder ~33 min typical · up to 69 at peak · worst around 2pm33m
  3. 3Helix ~30 min typical · up to 41 at peak · worst around 2pm30m

Leave these until later

  1. 1Loke~24 min typical · about 11 min after 3pm11m
  2. 2Zombie~24 min typical · about 12 min after 9pm12m

Save them for the last two hours, when the coach parties have gone and the queue is a fraction of the afternoon's.
