Does anybody have any idea how long the ride section of the plan might take in mid August? I think we will be going on a Thursday.

How long before the park opens do you recommend arriving?

We went on Thursday 11th August last year and had done all the ride plan (bar the train) by 1pm. Note - the Skytrain does not open until 10.30/11? There is a sign saying so however it is not necessarily removed in a timely fashion; we ignored it and went straight on, no queue

I think we arrived about 9.30am for a 10am opening and were inside for "rope drop"

Fabulous thank you for your help. It would be great if we could be done that quickly, then we'd have plenty of time to relax in the afternoon and enjoy the animals.

Thanks for this. We usually go in May when the park isn't as busy so looking for any tips for our first August trip.

Last time we went in October 2014 we were literally the last to leave lol...that's how much we love this place...

is this still the best route, pls?

Going on Monday Dec 11th and haven't been for years.
