What can one expect for wait times for Soarin' and TT during evening EMH? Is there a dip during Illuminations, but then a big uptick after that's over? Or maybe offsite guests flood in line right before close, so there isn't a dip?

Thanks.

Those will be THE attractions that most guests attending Epcot EMH will be seeking.
As always, things can vary greatly depending on, well, EVERYTHING, but...

Figure that they will be busy until at least 10:30-ish with many guests attempting multiple rides
(and no FP+ in operation.)

The Single Rider Line is a good choice for TT.

Otherwise, for TT and Soarin' figure 40 minutes, plus, for wait-times, give or take 15 minutes.

Only did it once and I couldn't convince our group to watch Illuminations from as close to FW as possible. We ended up in Norway and it was tough fighting the crowds. We went to Soarin' first and probably didn't make it there until 10, and it was probably a 45 minute wait. Then we went to Test Track and by the time we got off, EMH were over, or very close to over.
 
I might be using evening EMH our next trip for the first time since we will have park hopper this time.

I am curious, are evening EMH this busy on 2 to 5 crowd level days, or just 5 to 10 crowd level days? I am going in late August / early September and I was hoping evening EMH would be semi dead.

When Disney dropped PM EMH from 3 hours to 2 hours, the likelihood of seeing "dead" crowd levels dropped significantly.

Regarding utilizing PM EMH for rides, I'll just say...

MK: Yes.
DHS: Maybe.
Epcot: No.
 
We've never seen low enough wait times (for me to want to wait) at Soarin or TT during evening EMH's.
 
I visit every May. EMH are the foundation of my touring plans. I use them all without fail and stay to the end. I find them to be unpredicable. I've wandered around Epcot and gone on every ride The park can be empty, moderate or crowded. I've also wandered around MK and been the only person on many rides (pre-7DMT) Then again, I've stayed to 2 am and had to wait for Space Mtn. TestTrack I usually walk-on in the single rider line? I look back on my trips and never think that I didn't get on enough rides. I'm pretty relaxed but I do go every year.
Some suggest going to a headliner 15 minutes before closing and getting into line? I haven't tried it.
