Dining Strategy

Eat when ride waits are highest (you're stuck in line anyway). Ride when waits are lowest.

Eat lunch at 11 AM (headliners typically 52 min), then ride at 1 PM (45 min): about 7 min less per headliner. Eat dinner at 6 PM (headliners typically 38 min), then ride at 9 PM (17 min): about 21 min less per headliner.
