Median posted wait per weekday. Medians, not averages, so one breakdown day does not move the number.

What the end of the day is worth

Test Track peaks around 11 AM at a median of 75 minutes. By 9 PM that median is 65 minutes, so riding late rather than at the peak has been worth about 10 minutes in line. Your own day can differ, and this is what the history showed.

How often it goes down

Test Track was reported temporarily down in about 26.1% of the checks taken while it was scheduled to be running, across the last 90 days. Build a little slack into the day around it.

Measured against the checks taken while the ride was scheduled to be running, not against every check. More than half of all readings on any ride are taken overnight while the park is closed.
