Arrive for 10:00. Queues climb to their peak around 16:00 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. 1Helix ~25 min typical · up to 36 at peak · worst around 3pm25m
  2. 2Valkyria ~23 min typical · up to 33 at peak · worst around 3pm23m
  3. 3Loke ~22 min typical · up to 34 at peak · worst around 3pm22m

Straight to these from the gate, in this order. Every minute before the park fills is worth three later.

Leave these until later

  1. 1Farfars Bil~20 min typical · about 10 min after 4pm10m
  2. 2Skepp o'skoj~20 min typical · about 11 min after 4pm11m

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