  • Plan to take a break or enjoy indoor shows between 3 PM and 6 PM, as this is typically when the park experiences its peak wait times, with Mystic Manor often being the busiest.
  • Catch the "Momentous" Nighttime Spectacular at 8:30 PM to conclude your day, as this is the park's closing time.
  • Yesterday, Toy Soldier Parachute Drop averaged 30 minutes, and RC Racer averaged 24 minutes, giving an idea of typical mid-day waits.
