Whats the average wait time for Soarin these days?

[lnsemsf]

I'm heading over to the parks on Wednesday and was wanting to get on Soarin without waiting in a massive line. Last time I went the wait times were over 2 hours, but that was back during the summer. Has anybody been recently and could let me know what kind of time they waited during the week? I just need to know if I should do Epcot first thing and either grab a fastpass or wait in line for it, or if I can wait until later in the evening and do it towards the end of the night.

I can't speak for Soarin' specifically, but Epcot in general has been VERY slow during the week.

To be sure get to EPCOT when it opens and go straight to Soarin' - somebody has to be first in line.

if you want to ride it more than once go as soon as it opens and get a fast pass as soon as you get off, thats what we did.

I think once will be enough, I was planning on hopping all around. I probably won't be able to get to the parks till mid morning and was hoping to do epcot last as it's open latest on Wednesday. If it's a slow period I'll probably just go to Soarin towards the end of the day. Thanks for the help.

I was in epcot on the 27 of august and it was about 7:00 however the Soarin's Fast Passes had run out at about 5 that night so we had to wait over an hour. But we had never been on it before so it was worth it.

I waited 10 min on Friday

Fastpass it first and then do M:S TT etc. Then go back and fastpass it again if you dont have another one.

It's going to start picking up again this week - but the past week usualy held the rule of Soarin = 2x Test Track.

So:

Soarin' 40 = Test Track 20

That was pretty standard, exlcuding peak times of course.

Here's a tip:

Ride Soarin' during EMH at the very end, right before the rides close for the night. If you are lucky like me, you will get to stay on for another ride.

Also, get FPs as soon as the park opens. They run out very early, and the standby line is long ALL DAY.

Saturday afternoon (5ish) the wait was 60 minutes. FastPass it as soon as you get there, then go shop or eat or something.

In August evening EMH was a joke, the lines were horrendous. Early entrtry and a morning jog the best way to get a few trips. Straight on, ride, FP on exit, and get another FP before you use the 1st managed three rides by 11.

I was at Epcot last Tuesday, 13 Sep. At opening, I went straight to Soarin' and was on the first ride of the day with no wait. But as noted above, you better call it a 10 minute wait minimum for the time it takes you to just walk the wait line :hammer: As a retired Naval Officer who spent a tour in San Diego, I loved the North Island carrier shots - some of you will understand. Soarin' is certainly a good addition, but for my money, Test Track still rules at Epcot.

I was at Epcot on Saturday and got a FP at around 10:45 with a return time of 11:30 - 12:30 the wait was 30 minutes. When I came back to use the FP, I got another one at 11:30 with a return time of 12:15 - 1:15.
