How long are wait times for the rides during a morning EMH at HS ?

[maryj11]

We will be staying at the Beach Club and we have hoppers.
I thought we could just go for morning EMH and ride a couple rides then leave.
How long are the wait times during a 8:00am - 9:00am EMH in the summer?

It depends upon the ride. If you get there before opening, probably at least 45 minutes, then you can be some of the first to get on the ride of your choosing, except maybe TSMM. RNRC, TOT, and GMR shouldn't be too bad. TSMM might be pretty busy though. I have never tried it during AM EMH. Star Tours won't be a problem at all.

We plan on doing the evening EMH on our arrival and then maybe the morning one a couple days later. Hmmm 45 minutes at opening seems kind of long. The rides we wanted to ride the most during morning EMH is RNRC amd TSMM. So you think the lines will be 45 minutes at opening for those?

Depends on how many others show up before you. A few minutes difference in your arrival time can amount to a much longer wait for any popular attraction at park open--EMH or no. At open, most everything comes down to that and therefore it is difficult to give you an accurate answer.

soniam is saying that you should arrive at least 45 minutes before park opening, not that wait times will be 45 minutes at opening.

I don't think the wait times will be 45 minutes, if you are there early. I am saying if you get there 45 minutes before park opening, that gives you a really good chance of having very little wait on your first ride and then maybe not so bad of a wait on your second ride. Like @mesaboy2 said, it's really hard to say how long the wait is at opening. Plus, they sometimes open the park before the official time, which could put you into longer lines if you just show up at the opening time. I would do TSMM first and then head to RNRC. RNRC has a single rider line that maybe you could do later in the day. The single rider line is shorter than normal standby, but it won't be open immediately after park opening.

We have done the morning EMH at the Studios and were able to ride TSMM, RNRC, and TOT with barely a wait in quick succession. Based on how I felt after doing all three back to back , I wouldn't recommend it, but it can be done!

Ok thank you. Heading to TSMM first then RNRC is what I was thinking also.

I agree, I think you could do TSMM first, then RNRC and be done in less that an hour. Get there about half an hour before the park opens so that you will already be inside the park at opening.
