Is Lightning Lane Worth It for The Barnstormer?

Magic Kingdom · Fantasyland · Based on 30 park days from the last 30 days

OUR VERDICT
Low Priority for Multi Pass
Its posted standby wait averaged 11 min over the last 30 park days, so Lightning Lane saves about 1 min (standby minus up to 10 min in the Lightning Lane line). It sold out while the park was open on 5 of 30 days, usually with no return times left by about 5:32 PM park time. Its standby averaged under 30 min, so spend your Multi Pass selections on longer lines.

Time saved is the average posted standby minus up to 10 minutes in the Lightning Lane line. A day counts as sold out when the ride's Lightning Lane showed no return times for at least 60 minutes in a row while the ride was open, starting more than 2 hours before the park closed. Running out in the last two hours happens to almost every ride and isn't counted. We call a Lightning Lane worth it when the ride's average posted standby wait over the period was 30 minutes or more, so skipping the line saves about 20 minutes or more (standby minus up to 10 minutes in the Lightning Lane). "No return times left by" is the park-local median time, on those days, that the ride's live feed first showed no Lightning Lane return times; it can differ from when a paid pass stopped selling.
