Guardians:Monday was a bit of an anomoly. It was dark grey & chilly all day. Not the best day to judge TBA. We rode with LLP at 4:45, and standby was 60. My guess is that it will be no different than Splash was, when the dust settles. It will remain a little inflated while BTM remains closed (long way to go there based on what we saw from the railroad).
Of course, as we waited for the train right after our ride, TBA went down, sending 1,000+ people out of the queue dejected. Some things never change.
Near the very front of the early entry RD pack for GoG Tuesday, of course it was a walk on, but we circled back for a 2nd ride immediately. SB was posted at 45, actual was more like 10-15 max. That was just a couple of minutes before reg opening when we re-entered.
With a 9pm close, we queued up again at 7:35. Wait was posted as 65. Not inflated at all. It was pretty accurate. 55 to preshow, and another 10 inside. Off at about 8:45.
We did not ride again, as feet were toast by then, but did wander by the entrance. The line was slightly longer, wait was still posted at 65. My guess, based on what we had just experienced, was that there was NO line stacking or inflation of wait times happening at all. If anything, it might have been a little longer, but not by much. It's an hour wait from the door to the building at that time of day, give or take. If the line spills outside, you will wait that much longer.
Overall crowds were moderate for both days. Maybe 5 out of 10.
On Tuesday, the posted wait for Guardians was 50 minutes near the end of the evening with no actual wait times reported.
On Wednesday, the posted wait time was 75 minutes with actual reported wait time of 40 just before closing.
It does look like the line stacking was a little more subtle than usual.
