I knew this was happening on my trip, and I knew that it was the day after my planned MK (Saturday) day, but for some reason it didn’t occur to me until it came up in the Liner meet discussion that woah, the waits are going to go up that weekend. It’s also supposed to be 79° that day.
How bad do we think it might be? As of now, before any adjustments, I was planning that to be my second LL choice… hopefully I can get a Jungle Cruise right around 9:15 or 9:30, then Splash around 10:15. If I reversed that I’d be looking at a late Jungle Cruise around 5:45, then which wouldn’t alter my plans for the day too horribly but I’m not a huge fan of Jungle Cruise in the dark.
I think it really comes down to how much you would regret not riding Splash again in its current form. If you would be gutted, I would pick that first. If it’s a shame but not a disaster, you can balance it out with how much you don’t like JC in the dark.
So what you’re saying is either direction of my plan (where it’s my first or second LL) should be fine.
I’m not leaving it to no LL like TP thinks I should, and I had already opted to wait in the longer standby line for BTMRR because it’s a slightly more interesting (and less stinky) queue.
hehe wait in the 2+ hour line. RRRRRREALLY take in that queue for the last time
Wish the song would be kept. Man that first go with the eruption of zip a dee doo dah from the ferry boat? That was so great. I’m not sure “Dig a Little Deeper” is gonna be able to compete
It has happened in DLR when ToT became Guardian and the roller coaster became IncrediCoaster. IT WAS BAD. HOURS of wait for people to ride it one last time.
I hadn’t thought about rebound effects on other parks, or other rides within MK… I’m wondering if maybe we should RD MK to get on Splash via LL early (anticipating that Splash-focused crowds will head to Splash early, so maybe crowds will be lower at other things early in the day), then hop to HS for the rest of the day and finish MK on the 24th after AK.
The others in the group were prepared to pay $25+ for G+ anyway, so that’s not such a huge deal.
The wait maxed out at 220 minutes (3 hrs 40 min) and LL was sold out within 5 minutes. There was a brief lull in the early evening when the line dipped to 100 minutes but was 175 at closing.
(All the above are posted wait times - I assume actual waits were slightly lower but TP has shut off their data feed for Splash and I can’t access historical “submitted” waits as far as I can tell.)
Im surprised no one tried to steal any signs or anything on Sunday. What do you all think they will do with all the stuff from the ride? Just store it forever?
There were a lot of things broken on Splash for like the past year or even more. Brer Rabbit hardly ever ran in that circle anymore. None of the water effects that shot over your head in the “cave” have worked in years. Just tons of little things had slowly decayed away unfortunately. Which is somewhat understandable given the ride was running on borrowed time since before the pandemic…
