Arrive for 09:00. Queues climb to their peak around 12:00 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. 1Taron ~43 min typical · up to 48 at peak · busiest right at opening, so go straight there or leave it to the last hour43m

  3. 3F.L.Y. ~40 min typical · up to 46 at peak · busiest right at opening, so go straight there or leave it to the last hour40m

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

Leave these until later
