I asked 3 twitter users. Here are their replies for TC wait time: 45 min. 30-40 min. 1 hour.

If anyone is at the park right now, how are the crowds? Edit: Twitter user just reported 45 minute wait for TC.

I like how the warning sign says hold on to the grab bar at all times. There is no grab bar.

24 riders per train

Park just announced on Twitter that they are closing tonight at 9pm. Smart move. Full park means more food sales.

I was pleasantly surprised when my legs involuntarily extended from the air resistance.

True, but they are in a hurry to race trains, so that would take too much time. Even Disney uses single riders on California Screamin and Disney is the master of train loading.

That's an interesting math problem. There are 8 seats per ride side. Let's say that people with the same letter are friends.... AABBCCDD, EEFFGGHH (8 pairs) AAABBCCC, DDEEFFGG (2 trios, and 5 pairs) AAAABBCC, DDEEFFGG (1 quartet, 6 pairs) AAABBBCC, DDDEEFFG (2 trios, 5 pairs, 1 single rider)... for this example, he could ask for a trio instead of riders F, F, and G. I guess a motivated ride operator could fill all the seats all the time if he asks for the number of people he needs. For example, if he needs a trio, but there are no trios at the front of the line, he could ask for a trio that is 30 people back on the line. The most common groups are probably pairs and trios, which makes it easier to avoid needing a single rider. The fewer seats a car has, the better it is for single riders. Twisted Colossus will always need single riders to sit with the third wheel of a trio. Radiator Springs Racers has 3 seats across and will need single riders because there are lots of pairs. Drop of Doom is a nightmare for single riders IF the ride operator knows what he is doing.

Thank you. I agree that drop of doom is not scary. I like it because it is relaxing. I pull my arms out of the restraints and put my hands up so that my arms in front of the center of my body. The ride operator said it was okay to do this.

Do you guys think Wednesday May 27 would be a decent day to go to MM? It's almost summer but I think all schools will still be in session.

Thank you sir. I'm going ride Drop of Doom 15 times in a row. It's the closest I will ever get to skydiving.

I doubt it since the X2 line is always long. Does anyone know if the Drop of Doom line is ever long? I'm hoping it is always short since lots of people are petrified of that ride.

Wanna see how long the line was today?......

.... with earbuds on.

When is Goliath expected to reopen?

Just show up early and run to the ride. It's better than waiting 4 hours.

TC on CBS national news....

Anyone know the exact model of drone they used to film TC? They said it is worth $30,000 but I can't find a camera drone that expensive from an internet search. Could be this $4,000 drone with a $26,000 camera...... http://aeronavics.com/products/showroom/sky-jib-series/skyjib-8/

Yeah they planned poorly by not having the third train already set up with camera brackets.

I like the chick with the pink polo shirt and glasses. Her hands were swaying more than the others' and she is having a ball.

They probably edited most of the music video Monday night and then just needed a few more clips from Tuesday to complete it. Tuesday was the sloppy seconds riders.

That screenshot you posted is from Monday. I was only there Tuesday. You were there both days, right?

Yeah, that music video is my favorite video of the ride thus far. I don't get tired of watching it.

Yeah, she was cute. They also kept putting the non-model guy with the red shirt and 5 o'clock shadow near the front because they thought he was good-looking. I think the paid riders were models, not actors. Here is one of them.... https://twitter.com/vanni_latimer27 jtaudio, I think I talked to you. I think I told you that I saw your blogs and that you rode it many times before Tuesday. You're the tall guy, right?

Most of the footage is from Monday, but there a few shots from Tuesday. Monday had lots of striped shirts. Tuesday had lots of solid-colored shirts. The first clip from the following video is from Tuesday. The back of my head is visible at the top left. I am wearing a green shirt...... Someone please post a link with the TV commercial when it is available. Thank you.
