We went yesterday. When we got in line at around 1:50, the wait said 55 minutes. We didn’t even get on until almost 4:20. It was absolutely brutal, and you could tell everyone was getting really agitated in line, especially as we kept seeing trams departing with half empty and completely empty rows!
Then the fact we skipped the Jurassic stuff, then we skipped the Earthquake stuff, and then the fact the walking section was a big free-for-all with no organization when it came to reboarding… my god, how HHN can have it on lock but daytime couldn’t take a page from them is insane.
We finally got off around 5:45, and couldn’t believe we lost four hours and still missed out on a huge chunk of the anniversary stuff (like the Earthquake refurb) that was the whole reason we were there! Super disappointed, especially because we walked right onto Jurassic and Mummy after in comparison before heading home. I liked the new queue videos, but the fact we saw them loop over three times while waiting (starting with the clip from The Muse) was nuts.
Edit: Also, I noticed a LOT of weird grammatical/spelling errors in the trivia signs throughout the queue, like no one even hired an editor to give them a once over before they were finalized. This one was especially egregious, with the word "original" being misspelled as "orignal" and the phrase that should be "was moved to" being "was move to":
