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.
Quietest day of the week
Across the last 90 days, Mine-Cart Madness has run its shortest lines on Wednesdays (about 85 minutes) and its longest on Fridays (about 100 minutes), a difference of roughly 15 minutes.
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
Mine-Cart Madness peaks around 12 PM at a median of 120 minutes. By 8 PM that median is 60 minutes, so riding late rather than at the peak has been worth about 60 minutes in line. Your own day can differ, and this is what the history showed.
How often it goes down
Mine-Cart Madness was reported temporarily down in about 19.8% 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.
