USH: Crowd patterns? Single rider?

[ralfrick]

Looks like we're getting a day at USH on an upcoming June Thursday, so if you could be so kind to indulge me a couple of questions:

1-Am I correct in assuming the biggest waits will build on Les Simpson-Le Ride, ROTM and JP?

2-What are the longest waits that are being encountered on Les Simpson? It appears this is the least painful wait due to a detailed queue, yes?

3-Single Rider?

Haven't been since 2001, and splurged for FOTL passes then, so any tips will be gladly taken under advisement. Thanks.

A bientot.

While Simpsons hasn't been around long enough to establish a line pattern, I can guess it's probably best to hit it first. The TV's are great in the main part of the line, but once you leave that area, the TV's don't help at all (due to being placed at poor viewing angles) until you enter the building again. I believe the average line has been about 45 minutes, but expect it to get longer as we head into the summer crunch season.

Immediately after Simpsons, I would head down to the lower lot as soon as it opens (sometimes it has a delayed opening). If you get there early, you should be able to enjoy many rides on Mummy and Jurassic Park before the crowd gets down there. Do everything else you can while you're down there (Stage Effects Show, Backdraft, new Movie Museum)... you don't want to go up & down those escalators more than once if you don't have to.

By then, you can enjoy the upper lot, their shows, and the tram tour.

They do offer Single rider on Jurassic & Mummy, but they don't actually allow it to be used unless the lines get very long (an hour +). So I wouldn't count on it.

I agree with everything JesterMn said.

The tram, even on the busiest of days never gets a line more than 30 or so minutes. Each tram holds probably 100+ people.

The lower lot doesn't usually get too busy until 2 or so hours after the park is open.

Thanks guys, this was pretty much my strategy in mind. Wondered if the tram might see more people wanting to view the burned area, but figured most people would've ridden anyway.

A bientot.
