Arrive for 10:00. Queues climb to their peak around 11:00 and fall back through the afternoon; the last hour or two is the quietest the headliners get all day.

1. 1The Grave Robbers' Chronicles ~80 min typical · up to 105 at peak · worst around 5pm80m
2. 2Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ ~69 min typical · up to 99 at peak · busiest right at opening, so go straight there or leave it to the last hour69m
3. 3Jurassic Flyers ~68 min typical · up to 86 at peak · worst around 2pm68m

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

1. 1Jurassic World Adventure~51 min typical · about 25 min after 8pm25m
2. 2Transformers: Battle for the AllSpark~47 min typical · about 27 min after 7pm27m

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

4. 4A Quiet Placerunning 31% of the park's open hours31%

If one of these is the reason you came, ride it the first time you see it running rather than saving it. The full picture is on the reliability page.
