Any thoughts to why it appears TOT is now a 2 hour wait, consistently?

Tower is typically running only one side due to an ongoing refurb. So it is at about half capacity.

what is the typical wait time when both sides are running 100%?

They were pretty accurate when I went mid-March over spring break. The evening times were a little inflated though.

My experience has usually been about 45 minutes.

In the entire time I have gone to Disney I have never waited for this for very long. I don't know if I hit it at a good time or if we hit DHS on a good day, but 20 minutes, maybe, is the peak I can remember hitting it before getting to the first portion of the ride.
I haven't been to WDW since 2018, I am told constantly that the lines are even more unbearable since then.

When does this refurb end?

Posted time this morning was 85 mins. We were on the elevator in 40. After we finished, I noticed they’re testing the other drop shaft. I hadn’t noticed that in the past couple weeks since we arrived.
Maybe good news?

I didn't notice it fully testing, but when we were there at the end of April there were a couple bellhops over on the Alpha/Bravo side of the boiler room. While we were waiting the Bravo doors opened on a car and the CM pushed a button and the doors closed again. (Whether they dispatched it or just reclosed the doors I couldn't tell)

Cast told us August was when the refurb was expected to be completed.

Well that’s a bummer…was hoping for a July finish
So the first one down for refurb has not finished yet. But if both are likely to be finished in July than there should be a switch soon right?
If I remember right, the refurbishment may bring back stronger drop forces like they both once had. Is this still a possiblity @marni1971 I believe mentioned that. Or will a lesser profile be permanent so the strain does not occur?

I forget the details now but a few years ago at least one drop shaft was profile locked after damage occurred. Whether this will solve that or if it’s already fixed I don’t know.

Just came back.... some waits were accurate and some were not. Rise was 60 - took like 40 minutes. Splash was 45...took 15. Space was 50....took 70. Jungle Cruise was 40...took 15 (during the fireworks). Flights of Passage was accurate 50 minutes.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I’ve been able to walk on to FOP no wait many times. Specifically during stormy days.
