Busy or Breakdown?

[inkkognito]

Yesterday we were at both USF and IOA (predictably, the biggest crowd was at USF due to Mardi Gras). The Express wait for MIB was maybe 10 to 15 mins. and for Mummy it was 15 to 20...the longest we've had so far since getting premier passes, but certainly very acceptable given the length of the standby lines. When we were on Mummy, it broke down for a bit (which I'm getting used to as it's happened to us quite a few times...although this time they had really smooshed the lapbar down and I had to use the potty, so I was wishing for an astronaut diaper by the time it started up again!). We did MIB for a while, then returned to Mummy, and the Express line was all the way out to the Express entrance! I figured it must have broken down again, and for a longer period, but the TM at the entrance said no. For those with experience during the busy season, would it be typical for the Mummy Express line to be that long without a breakdown or some other contributing factor? I'd like to know what to expect for the summer when the parks REALLY get crowded (although I dunno...that Mardi Gras crowd was a big one!!).

When we were there the last week of June last year, we didn't have that long of a wait in any EP line I would think it had to have broken down.... We only waited no more than about 5 minutes for anything in EP (except Posieden in IOA)

I've seen the EP line at 45 minutes. During Mardi Gras....no break downs, no mishaps...just a lot of EP's.
It can happen during real busy times, but the longest non mardi gras express line I've seen is 25 minutes.
