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, Slinky Dog Dash has run its shortest lines on Sundays (about 60 minutes) and its longest on Tuesdays (about 70 minutes), a difference of roughly 10 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
Slinky Dog Dash peaks around 12 PM at a median of 70 minutes. By 9 PM that median is 50 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.
How often it goes down
Slinky Dog Dash was reported temporarily down in about 23% 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.
