Everest at Park Close?

[cjlong88]

We are arriving in Orlando around 4pm on Friday. All we want to do is ride Flight of Passage and Everest before the park closes at 8pm that evening. We plan on purchasing an ILL$ for FoP for around the 6-7pm time frame.

How has the line for Everest been lately during the last 30 minutes of the day? Based on recent experiences, do you think we will be able to get a couple of rides in at the end of the night or will waits still be long? Thanks!

Not quite answering your question but honestly, if you purchase an ILL$ too late, depending on wait times and ride time plus walking to EE, you may only get to ride it once and possibly not at as LL if you cut it too close.

Not sure if you’ve ridden FoP but there are 2 pre-show rooms that both last the length of the ride plus exit time. It’s not a ride you don’t quickly even when everything runs smoothly.

According to thrill-data.com, tonight at 7:00 pm, Everest wait was posted as 15 minutes. Last night at 7:00 pm, it was posted as 5 minutes.

Given that wait times are often inflated in the last hour before closIng, I'd say that you ought to be able to do even better than a couple of rides.

Based on recent experience, you should be able to ride Everest 4, maybe 5 times during the last 30 minutes of operation.

That line starts to dwindle an hour or more before closing.

Yeah, FoP can definitely take a minute. We were hoping to ride it around 6pm a the top of the window (assuming we get 6-7pm) with the hope that if our arrival is delayed, we have some wiggle room. Ideally, it would be great to ride it at 6pm and be off around 6:30ish so we can enjoy a slow walk / snack on our way to Everest before we experience that.

We are visiting to celebrate my husband’s birthday this weekend (he doesn’t know about it yet), and Everest is his all-time favorite attraction. It would be a great first night if we could ride it a couple of times!

That is good to hear! Let’s hope it stays that way for the next week.
