Which rides/shows build lines fastest in DLP?

[auntyjenn]

So, which rides and shows build lines the fastest/ are hardest to get in to in DLP?

Category 1: Hit these right away!

Category 2: Hit these pretty early if you can

Category 3: Eh, you know, whenever.

It seems to me from what I've seen on the app on my phone that lines are nothing like WDW and after waiting in line there I will be pleasantly surprised with lines at DLP. N'est pas? (seeing how much french I remember from high school. forgive me if I slaughter it)

I think I mentioned everything but the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster because it was broken down - so I don't know. This is all just based on queues from my 2-day trip.

Hi

I would say last week, it was many of the kids rides that built up quite a queue, Peter Pan and Dumbo especially.

Crush always had at least 45mins if not longer, we never got on that. First thing in the morning was never any better.

Tower of Terror, Rock and Roller Coaster never seemed all that busy, 5-10minutes.

We used fast pass on Thunder Mountain as it was 30minutes.

Not sure of the comparisson with queues at WDW as its been a while since we were there and without a child. I found some of the queues in dlp more annoying... worst was the lancelot roundabout, complete shambles even during EMH and would do almost anything to dissaude my ds from going on that again.

We were there 4 nights and extra magic hours were great for Fantasyland, Buzz and Space Mountain and fast pass was good for the extra shots we had to have of Buzz.

Cat 1: Crush, Peter Pan, Dumbo, Autopia, Thunder Mountain, Buzz, RC Racer, Parachute drop.

Cat 2: Space Mountain, Slinky Dog, Pinocchio, Snow White, Cars, Tea Cups.

Cat 3: Small World, Pirates, Aerosmith, Phantom Manor, Indiana Jones, Star Tours.

I've mised off a few but most of the major rides are listed. If you visit out of main season and avoid weekends, only Crush, Peter Pan & Thunder are likely to have queues longer than half an hour.

It has to be remembered that rides like Small World and Pirates eat the queues because of their capacity. The reason Crush and Peter Pan have such long waits is because they have poor capacity and longer loading times.

RC Racer and Parachute drop will probably drop to Cat 2 (if they haven't already) as they get a bit older.
