Epcot Travel Pattern with Test Track Closed

**jans2kids** · 05-08-2012, 01:17 PM

For anyone who has been to Epcot since Test Track closed, what seems to be the flow of the crowd at park opening. Are more people headed to Soarin than before, or is Mission Space and Spaceship earth lines getting longer faster than before. Is anyone now skipping going to Epcot at park opening figuring its more important to hit the other parks at opening to hit the popular rides.

We were there Sunday (two days ago) and 98% of the crowd went right towards Soarin'. Thank goodness it wasn't a very crowded day at all. I can only imagine how it will be during the busy summer months.

I was there last Tuesday. I think everyone was in the Land Pavilion... Soarin was packed, as was living w/ the land and the food court.. Mind you, this was at opening.. Well, maybe 10 minutes into as we stopped to ride SE... But checked back later, and it was about the same..

I work at Mission:Space, so I can tell you first hand...

Our wait times since TT has closed, has never gotten longer than 45-60 min. It seems that no one wants to come to our side of the park. I see A LOT of guest with soarin passes.

SOARIN IS OPEN UNTIL 10PM NOW BECAUSE OF TEST TRACK BEING CLOSED! however it is not opened longer than usual on EMH nights.

COME SEE US AT MISSION:SPACE

I second what everyone else has said. Arrived at EPCOT on Sunday around 1 PM. I overheard another family saying that fastpasses for Soarin' were gone by noon, maybe earlier. Wait time for Mission Space, however, was only 5 minutes (green) and 10 minutes (orange).

Yeah, 5 and 10 sound right. it only goes higher when we have tour groups go on. for the most part though it's a walk on ride recently, until schools let out for summer
