Hi all:
First post here, but have visited regularly ahead of trips in the past and found stuff like the below interesting.
Went today (Monday 30th April) and had a great day. Was actually quite busy at the gateline, etc., and the park was sort of busy all day. Maybe kids skipping out on study leave...
Longest queue was for Stealth, advertised as 40 mins, but actually more like 25. Second longest was Nemesis Inferno, which we waited 25 for, and was advertised as such. Shortest queue time was literally 0 minutes, at different times of the day on Swarm (amazing!), Saw and Flying Fish (it's a tradition), as well as all the thrill rides that spin and make everyone feel sick (including characters on the park map, which is gross). Stealth started the day closed, but opened at around 12pm. Same with Tidal Wave.
It wasn't the ghost town I was expecting, but we did get a couple of go-agains, and we got the last ride of the day on Swarm, of course by accident, which was excellent. Generally we had to wait for a few trains to clear before we got on, which was great.
Goes to show that the wisdom in the original post is correct - on a weekday, 10-5, you'll get a lot of riding done with low to moderate queuing.
