What “busy” means
This page describes typical crowd signals in practical terms. It is static reference only. It is not live data and not a forecast.
Practical crowd indicators (reference)
| Crowd label | Walkways | Attraction lines | Dining | Parking / entry | First thing that often tightens |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steadier | Movement is generally smooth. Some pinch points still occur. | Many waits feel manageable outside peak periods. | Mobile order windows are usually available with some flexibility. | Security/entry lines exist but tend to move steadily. | Headliner attraction waits |
| Busy | More congestion in central walkways and near popular areas. | Headliners often hold longer waits for more of the day. | Mobile order return windows can push out; seating fills faster. | Entry/security lines can become noticeable at peak arrival times. | Dining windows and seating |
| Very busy | Frequent slowdowns at pinch points. More stop-and-go movement. | Long waits are common for many major attractions for extended periods. | Limited seating. Mobile order windows can become constrained. | Longer arrival friction; security/entry can feel like a bottleneck. | Walkways and dining capacity |
These are typical experience indicators. They can change due to weather, ride downtime, or events.
