I just got back and the crowds were not to bad this afternoon. DQ closes at 11:00 pm Sun - Thu and 12:00 on Fri - Sat. Do not go if it is raining outside it seems a lot of people go there during bad weather. The crowds usually are not that bad earlier in the morning or later in the evening, but like I said today was very manageable. I did not arrive until 3:30 and stayed until 6:00.
