Get there early, run over and ride air and nemesis, get a fast pass for a second ride later on air. Then run over to Oblivion and do that.

If you are staying for the whole day, join a queue for a big ride such as Spinball or Air just before the advertised time for closing, as that is when the ride queue closes. The ride stays open until the queue has gone.

yes.....dont go on a sat!


imo i would NEVER go there unless i was.....

a) in the hotel and so getting in early before joe public

b) on a weekday mid term


Nemisis etc are cool but NOTHING on this earth that lasts 45 secs and then stops is worth queing 1hr plus for!

we did nemisis, sat at front, twice in a row with no que when we went. no otherway to do it.

Take a wheelchair, it eradicates queues instantly.

No waiting, go on everything, sorted.

So you leave one screaming kid behind, and on your day off decide to surround yourself with screaming kids
