What 90 days of history shows
The hourly chart above covers the last two weeks, which is the right window for what today looks like. These three take the long view, where a weekday pattern needs a full season before it means anything.
What the end of the day is worth
Soarin' Across America peaks around 11 AM at a median of 35 minutes. By 9 PM that median is 15 minutes, so riding late rather than at the peak has been worth about 20 minutes in line. Your own day can differ, and this is what the history showed.
