Quote from: "Rorschach"I was in DLP last weekend. It was packed and of course Crush's Coaster had enormous waiting times as always BUT we went there during Magic Hours at 8:05 and there were only about 30 people in the queue, which is nothing. We went on it 2 times in a row with hardly any waiting. So to avoid the queues that's the way to do it.


Did you do Extra Magic Hours in WDS? I thought they didn't exist! In that case, surely the best time to ride Crush's Coaster is during EMHs????

We were there last week, we went to WDS on Thursday a bit before the park opened (around 9:45) and joined the small queue for Crush, we ended up waiting about 10 minutes, it was great!

And I have to say, I really enjoyed the ride!!

Well that depends if they would run it at full capacity or not. I took advantage of extra hours in January, yet Space Mountain only had one train on, so the queue was longer then, than it was when the park was open properly. Pointless really.

I was there from 31st March to 3 April and the queue was a disaster. I got to ride it twice which was good but one of the times we queued for 70 min but I think it was a lot more. Brilliant ride but I think a fast pass would work well. Is there a reason why it isn't fast pass?

were just back and on the two times we were there the queue was huge 90 minutes at one point. Luckily i had a disability pass that got us half wway through the queue. I dont think its an adult ride though. It was one of my 5yr olds favourite rides.

This is why there isn't Fastpass;

@James6. No, Crush's Coaster does not have a ride photography system. No photos are taken of guests onboard the ride.

Now that Crush has been open for a good 3 years, hopefully it's ok to post this. A lot of you may never have seen this before:

^That's a cool find Alan. Very interesting to know the exact layout of the first bit of the coaster, which is probably the best part of the coaster too.
Next visit to DLP: October 26th
Coaster Count: over 320

I can understand why they don't have a FASTPASS on it. But they really should stick some big screens up and put the film on. It's such a horrible queue to wait in. Total cattle pen.

The most interesting part of my queue was watching the rat running around in the bamboo and sand outside!

Just back from DLRP and biggest queue in either park was for Crush's Coaster, even at 10 am.  :(

Enjoyable ride though and one for most of the family.

You should be ok if you get there first thing. But then everytime I've done that, its broken down before opening, so we're basically told to bogof!lol

Anywho, hopefully TSPL will attract the guests upon opening time, to leave Crushkins for us adults!
