Arrive for 12:00. Queues climb to their peak around 14:00 and fall back through the afternoon; the last hour or two is the quietest the headliners get all day.

Ride these first

  1. 1Nattsvart på Gasten ~37 min typical · up to 42 at peak · worst around 5pm37m
  2. 2Helix ~30 min typical · up to 37 at peak · busiest right at opening, so go straight there or leave it to the last hour30m
  3. 3Valkyria ~26 min typical · up to 34 at peak · worst around 4pm26m

  2. 2Tempus~23 min typical · about 11 min after 5pm11m
