According to the App, wait times have been around 15-20 minutes all week. Is this because they're limiting how many people can enter at a time?
Check the app on June 24th for real world wait times.
First day reservations aren't needed at SWGE.What is June 24th?
Unless you want to ride more than once- they wont let you ride in the 4th hour if you've already ridden.A pretty predictable pattern has developed for each 4 hour reservation block.
Hour one: New group arrives overlapping previous group by one hour...so you have a rush of new people heading for the attraction and many of the last group trying for one last ride. 60-90...even 120 min wait times.
Hour two: Still a back log of 45-60 min wait times
Hour three: Everyone has ridden and they are now off exploring the rest of the land since they blew so much of their window waiting in SR line. Wait times drop to just a few min.
Hour four: New group arrives and previous group tries to get back in line, wait time shoot back to 60-90min
Moral of the story...if you have a reservation wait till sometime in your third hour to try and ride.

This is exactly how it was when we went on May 31. 3rd hour wait was only 30 mins.
Once reservations are over on June 24, I heard that they may be doing some type of return time system, similar to how they do FP, get a ticket in the morning and return later that day. I am guessing that this only allows you to be in SWGE for a certain amount of time as well. This might make the crowds somewhat reasonable, but we really have to see what it is like on the 24th.

A friend went at 8:00 a.m. on opening day and rode it four times, three times as a single rider. As a SR, the wait was less than a minute. I’ll go this Sunday. Hopefully I have a similar experience.
Incidentally, my reservation is at 8:00 p.m. I usually rope-drop on Sunday and am thinking about doing the same this weekend. Then maybe I’ll head back to my car for a nap and then get back for my reservation a little later.
We unfortunately didn’t have that last night. Lowest standby got was posted 25 and actual was around 20. Compared to last Saturday when we did walk on a few times.If you go during the lull period of right before the next group gets let into the land, it's a short wait. We were able to walk on, no wait.
