Today the ride almost hit 200 minutes and express was about a 60 minute wait.

On my app, it shows it at 120+. Is it breaking down or..? Despicable Me is also at 100 minutes right now.

Don't know about breaking down but I know they stopped selling express passes at USF today because everyone who bought one went to Transformers at the same time and overloaded the queue. I would assume they started taking a higher percentage of express guests versus standby at that point which would've increased the standby wait further.

And for the record...Despicable being at 100 minute wait is an everyday thing in semi-busy times. It's actually usually higher.

Seth Kubersky posted on his Twitter that one of Transformers elevators was having problems so they were down to one and that was causing the long waits today

Its been breaking sporadically throughout the day--the long waits still arent filling the queue; instead the queue times are a result of an overwhelming amount of Express users going on at once after the rough morning.

We were there on July 7th and early in the day the regular Q was at 70 minutes and we made it through express in 7 minutes (timed it). I think express works well when all systems are operating properly.

I rode it twice this morning, single riders. 1.5 mins the first time, 7 mins the second time. after that it was slammed. 90 min. stand-by.

Here is the "chip" in the glasses:

And I like the extended queue cover. It reminds me of a Hummer for some reason:

Wow 7 minutes for Singles is even less than it was during softs. Seems like it's just a game of chance as to whether or not you basically walk on or get hit with that long line.

The 7 min. single riders line was at 9:08 this morning. by 9:45, the stand-by was 90 mins. DM:MM was 120 mins.

HA! So I'm no the only one who found the "chip" that just peels right off....

So have they added these to Spiderman & DM as well?

It was pretty busy yesterday. I was a little surprised after all the reports of light crowds.

Certain blackouts were lifted yesterday which may have played a big part of that.

TSMM effect plus Spaceship earth, one of the only rides the whole family can do together and it's right after you enter the park. UNI give me that slow moving Thrill ride already, with big sets please!
