On predicting crowds/lines...
Gang
I know everyone wants to post threads regarding specific Days they will be there and wants to know what the crowds will be like and on certain days and such but these are starting to get out of hand in a way.
This is the Skinny on this topic. Please keep in mind that specific days crowds depend heavily on a few factors...Weather being the most influential of them all in my opinion. Unfortunatley none of us can predict that outside a certain time frame. All I'm asking is that you use common sense when opening posts about predicting the crowds on certain days or how crowded the park will be in general threads. Its VERY hard to do and despite what some people say or webpages they put together to predict NO ONE knows for sure. Things to look at when planning your trip is some of the following. I hope these points will help your urge to post a thread about this nature!
1 - Weekdays will almost always be better than a weekend..Avoid Saturdays if possible! I know we all work but we all have days off every now and then!
2 - Of the 5 weekdays these in my opinion are lightest to heaviest Tuesday, Wednesday, Monday, Thursday, Friday
3 - Lines are pretty predictiable like last year..Expect Force to be from 45 min to an 1Hr on Average..perhaps 30 min on slow days and up to 2 Hrs on heavy days!..Most everything else is 15 to 20 min except on Saturdays when all is a bit longer..
4 - You Never know what to expect til you get to the park!! Crowds, Weather, Groups, Bus Trips, ETC
5 - Mid June through August are Busier in general all the time..C'mon its Summer Vacation for kids :) THIS ONE should tell you most of what you need to know..lol
6 - After the Discovery Airing on Monday EXPECT and added increase in traffic to the Park..Its Gonna happen people so plan for it!! Its called Public perception and reaction!
7. Always Go to Force first if you don't want the long wait..If your there at the Marina Gate opening at anthem time and go right to Force you should wait no more than 15 to 20 min tops if you Run with the Bulls..later i nthe day can be a Hot long wait...
Please people realize that NO ONE can predict specific days at CP..Lets slow down with these type threads! We hate to close them because none of the Moderators like to do that but the noise generated from each and every individual posting these is really getting out of hand
Friends don't let Friends Post these type threads :)
Thanks!
