Will Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster’s CLOSURE Sabotage Your Day in Disney’s Hollywood Studios?

When you’re planning a trip to Disney World, it’s a good idea to check on the latest wait time trends so you know what to expect.

Magic Kingdom

We study the average ride wait times in Disney World and report on all the current trends! That way, you can be prepared for your next vacation.  So, now that 2025 had begun, what did the average ride waits look like as Disney World settled into the winter? Should we be worried or relieved? Let’s find out!

Let’s take a look at this past week’s average wait times.

Magic Kingdom

Below is the average weekly wait time for each ride, from shortest to longest wait time.

TRON Lightcycle / Run

Wait times at Magic Kingdom dipped back to “normal” levels this week, though the park was still “busy.” For example, TRON’s wait time was still nearly 70 minutes… but was DOWN from 101 minutes.

(REMINDER: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is currently only available with virtual queue and Lightning Lanes.)

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Millennium Falcon

Over in Hollywood Studios, times saw a dip, but the order of rides remained status quo with Slinky Dog Dash, Rise of the Resistance, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster topping the chart.

The Muppets Planned to Have a Ride DECADES Before Taking Over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

With Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster’s imminent closure due to the Muppets retheme (read all about that right here), we have to wonder how this will impact the other rides. It has been closed for refurbishment before, but this will likely be a longer closure than we’re used to. Since it does post one of the highest wait times in the park, all of those people will be somewhere else in the park. That’s just something to keep in mind when it does close, however, no date has been announced by Disney yet.

EPCOT

Frozen Ever After Lightning Lane

The wait times in EPCOT also dipped this week (one of the rare festival-free weeks of the park’s calendar), with Remy’s and Frozen being the only rides to top 40, or even 30 minutes.

(NOTE: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not currently use a standby queue, so it’s not included here.)

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Expedition Everest

Animal Kingdom’s Flight of Passage maintained its lead as the park’s busiest ride, while TriceraTop Spin saw a longer-than-normal wait…just before it closed forever! Kali River Rapids also closed for its annual maintenance.
