Do all the ride lines stay open until the park closes? Can you get in to any ride just before close or are some closing early? I vaguely remember FoP closing early at one point. I'm mostly interested in SDD, FoP and Mine Train.
 
Yes. If you're inline before the park closes you'll get to ride (unless the ride breaks down)
 
When FOP first opens they did close this line early ( I forgot maybe an hour ) but this is not the norm When SEGE opens I would not be surprised if they closed those line early

Yup.
If GE drags 'em in too deep, they would likely cut off the entry lines to attractions that, within the last hour or so, are still backed up too far.
 

Thanks everyone. Just trying to make sure I can ride the things I probably won't get fast passes for until my last day or two.
 
I don't know what happens now or with those particular attractions, but I seem to remember TSMM closing early due to fireworks. Not sure of that still happens or if anything else is affected like that. (Also don't know if it reopened afterward on regular park-closing nights. We were there for EMH and had to wait for it to reopen.)

These are exceptions rather than the norm, but keep an eye out for rides like Kali River Rapids and Dinosaur, which can tend to close earlier than the park at times (for example, both close at 9pm today, park closes at 10pm). Check the Times Guide, website, or app when in doubt.

That was way back when the DHS fireworks were launched from INSIDE the rear-park DHS guest areas.
They closed the areas/attracions behind Great Movie Ride as the time neared for the DHS fireworks to happen.
Back then, the fireworks' fallout would have been a danger to any guest in the area near TSMM, etc.

The fireworks launch was rebuilt/moved to well OUTSIDE the DHS guest areas several years ago, and
they no longer need to close the regular guest areas and attractions any more.
 
As long as you are in line before the time of park close, nearly every ride will run until you get to ride it (with few exceptions noted by previous posters). Most all attractions have a cast member go through the queue at park close so everyone at the attraction knows when the ride is clear of guests. As long as you're standing in line before that cast member gets in the queue, you should be good. :)

If there's say a 2 hour long line at a ride, they're going to close that line before closing. But under normal circumstances, they'll stay open unless it is posted otherwise.
 
Thanks for all the replies! Hopefully anything outside of Galaxy's Edge won't close early. Might do the Halloween Party so I'll get Mine Train then. Just need to figure out Flights and SDD that are booking at 64 and 65 days right now.
