Classic rock indeed.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is OPEN!
An old favorite — Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith — returned to Disney World this week, and upended the wait times at Hollywood Studios, overtaking the second spot. It ended up being very close to being the most in-demand ride in the park. In addition, the Magic Kingdom had its final full normal week before losing one of its most in-demand attractions for over a month.
Take a look at this week’s average wait times — going from highest to lowest!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
The Magic Kingdom’s wait times stayed pretty stable this week. Next week should prove to be an interesting test for the park, however, as reliable people-eater Peter Pan’s Flight is going down for a month+ long refurbishment.

Hollywood Studios Wait Times
