The posted wait is not your real wait

Parks pad their posted times. We compared over 139,000 measured queue walks with the boards: rides like this one typically move at about 72% of the posted time. This is a modelled estimate, we do not yet have measured walk-through data for this ride. Queues move slowest mid-afternoon and fastest at opening and closing. None of this is a promise: on peak days some queues do run the full posted time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average wait for Mission: SPACE?

The posted wait averages 16 minutes across every day we have tracked, with a recorded peak of 50 minutes.

When is the best time to ride Mission: SPACE?

Waits are typically shortest around 8am, and Sundays tend to be the quietest day of the week. Rope drop (arriving before park opening) beats both.

Where do these wait times come from?

Posted times come from the park's own wait boards via queue-times.com, polled every five minutes. The history charts blend our own recorded readings with queue-times.com's published yearly statistics.
