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, Transformers: The Ride-3D has run its shortest lines on Wednesdays (about 10 minutes) and its longest on Saturdays (about 25 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
Transformers: The Ride-3D peaks around 12 PM at a median of 35 minutes. By 11 PM that median is 5 minutes, so riding late rather than at the peak has been worth about 30 minutes in line. Your own day can differ, and this is what the history showed.
How often it goes down
Transformers: The Ride-3D was reported temporarily down in about 3.2% 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.
