The one-minute version: be at the gate 30–45 minutes before opening and ride New Texas Giant first. Waits peak from late morning to mid-afternoon — do shows and meals then. The final hour is often as quiet as rope drop. There is no headline evening show, so the final operating hour is usually the quietest time to ride.
Worth it on busy days: A summer Saturday product.

From the park’s published schedule. Hours change, and evening events can close the park to day guests early — check with the park before you go.
Queues here follow a predictable daily shape. Lines are shortest in the first hour and the last, and peak 2 PM–4 PM — that is the window to spend on shows, meals or indoor attractions rather than headliners.

Be at the gate 30–45 minutes before opening and ride in this order. New Texas Giant is the headline ride and builds the longest line; Titan's capacity keeps it moving.
The first hour is the cheapest capacity of the day — no pass, no fee, and typically the shortest waits you will see.
Red = busiest, green = quietest, grey = moderate.
Expect the year's longest waits during the summer holiday and Fright Fest weekends.
The best value for short lines is March and April weekdays, and September through November weekdays.
Scores are the crowd forecast, 1 to 10, averaged over the stretch. Visiting in a busy stretch anyway? Be at the gate before opening, and ride the big ones in the first hour and the last. Every day is scored on the crowd calendar.
Included with admission
Included with admission: scare zones, shows and rides in the dark on event evenings. The haunted mazes need a separate pass.
Usually runs in September and October — check the park's calendar for this year's dates.
Worth it on busy days
A summer Saturday product. On a spring or autumn weekday the park is comfortable without it.
Price: roughly $40–$120 virtual queue — you wait, just not in line. Prices change often and by date — treat this as a range, not a quote.
Maben Parks shows every wait live with a "vs typical" marker, and your magical fairy will run the numbers for your party and date — including telling you to keep your money when the answer is no.

Generated from wait-feed observations, not an operator announcement: a long closure usually means refurbishment, but we report what the feed shows rather than guessing why. Always check the operator's own page before travelling for one specific ride.
Every wait we have recorded here, grouped by how busy the day turned out to be. The bold figure is the middle half of what we saw — a quarter of the time it was shorter, a quarter of the time longer. Read it against today’s crowd level to know whether the number on the sign is good or bad.

Minutes of posted standby wait, from our own recorded snapshots — up to 16 days per figure. Cells stay blank until a ride has enough observations at that crowd level to be worth printing. Posted waits are what the park displays, which is not always what you queue.
Aim to be at the gate 30–45 minutes before the posted opening time of 10 AM. The first hour consistently has the day's shortest waits, and arriving even 45 minutes late typically costs you two headliners.
10 AM–11 AM and 8 PM–9 PM — the opening hour and the final hour of the operating day. Waits peak 2 PM–4 PM, so plan meals, shows and indoor attractions for that window.
New Texas Giant, then Titan and Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast. New Texas Giant is the headline ride and builds the longest line; Titan's capacity keeps it moving.
March, April, September and November — March and April weekdays, and September through November weekdays. Avoid June, July, August and October, when the summer holiday and Fright Fest weekends.
