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
Haunted Mansion peaks around 11 AM at a median of 25 minutes. By 11 PM that median is 13 minutes, so riding late rather than at the peak has been worth about 12 minutes in line. Your own day can differ, and this is what the history showed.
How often it goes down
Haunted Mansion was reported temporarily down in about 5.5% 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.
