Soarin-4 hour wait today!

[kandb]

We were looking at the wait times today from here in NJ and it said a 240 minute wait for Soarin. I was telling my kids they don't know how lucky they are to go to WDW at slow times, they didn't believe that it was that long. Has anyone here on the boards waited 4 hours for a ride, any ride? I just can't imagine it. I almost find it hard to believe that people would wait that long. Does Disney exaggerate the waits sometimes?

Why would anyone wait thst long...that blows my mind. That is a major portion of your day, 4 hours isn't just a wee bit of time to waste standing around

There is nothing at WDW worth a 4 hour wait....seriously, how could you get a kid to wait that long without having to go to the bathroom?

I couldn't wait that long without a bathroom break!!
Seriously though, anyone there know if that was an accurate wait time??
That's crazy!

Yea the waits for everything are extreme today. It's not too exaggerated. As we were walking to Living with the Land I heard a cast member tell a lady that the Soarin wait would be 3-4 hours

A friend who is at the MK just tweeted a 210 minute wait for Space Mtn. - 3.5 hours... no thank you :/

** edited to change Mtn.. lol - MDE is showing 140 mins. Can't really argue with someone standing at the ride though... smh.

I didn't know it was possible to have the line go upside down and on the ceiling!

***edit***
When I first typed this the picture was upside down. It's been fixed for a few days now, yet people keep liking this post.

Soarin' shuts after Sunday for the upgrade so probably that accounts for some of the extra people.

MK was at phase A closure today at 10AM, then moved to B a while later. NO Thanks!

 

[PACVII]

The line must have been all the way around the food court

Welcome to NYE at WDW. Even things like Figment will have an hour plus long wait.

I'm pretty sure those wait times are inflated, but probably not by much.

Last year, at 9:00PM, Test Track was posted at 300 minutes; a 5 hour wait that would have you in line during the fireworks and boarding the ride when the park closed at 2AM. Either lots of people got out of line, or it was grossly inflated, since it was a walk-on immediately following the midnight fireworks.

Right now Soarin is 210 minutes and Test Track is 180 minutes. Too crazy for me!

Yes, the que today at midday was +3 hours, the line started outside the building and they were vigorous with checking fast passes.

We waited 2 hours for Anna and Elsa back when they were in Epcot and "conveniently" opening at 11 am.....willing to do that for a meet/ greet (if necessary) but not for a ride.

Someone posted a picture of the 240 minute wait time on another post about soarin

Never in a million years would I wait that long - I'll never go around NYE period. That's insane.

Soarin as everyone knows it will be permanently gone after Sunday. It will be a new film and will be Soarin over the world when it reopens. Even if it was a slow time, I would expect the ride to have a line of 3 hours or more this weekend. We were there on maelstrom's last day and the line was 3 hours for a good part of the day and it is not nearly as popular. I suspect there will be lots of local AP holders that will come to the park for the sole reason of getting that last Soarin ride. If we lived there, I might be inclined to do it...although more likely I would have booked a FP+ and would not wait in that long line. That is what we did for malestrom and we walked right past that huge line.

I agree! NYE brings the crazy crowds to the parks, four hours for a single ride is waaaayyyyy to long for me.
