A BUSY DAY

If you'd been here on a day like this,
you'd have spent half the day in queues.

Jun 18, 2026 came in at a 8/10, the kind of day where Top Thrill 2 can eat two hours of your morning. Crowds bounced between a 4 and a 10, settling around a 8 for most of the day.

Early entry or bust

On a busy day, missing rope-drop means a brutal wait for Top Thrill 2 all morning.

Treat lunch as a ride

You'll queue for food too. Use that time on a sit-down with a reservation.

There is no afternoon dip

Waits hold steady through close. Live wait alerts earn their keep here.

8 PM to 10 PM
The last 90 minutes is the only window

Headliners finally ease late. Skip dinner, stay late, eat after.
