With all ones time spent waiting in lines, it appears, perhaps, maybe, a person would be better off just walking by and enjoying the ride by just looking at it. Otherwise, you’re entire trip is waisted, just waiting in lines.
Those waits don’t seem to be so bad. I would be happy with those averages while I am there in August. Slinky Dog seems to always been crazy I saw this week on my app it had a 110 minute wait one day!!!!! That I would not do, 60 is about the max for me, and even then……
86 doesn’t seem that bad esp with no one going thru the fast pass. The line would keep moving for the most part and wouldn’t seem as long. I’ve see times when there was fast pass well over 120 min
