Wow! A surprisingly low crowd at both parks on Wednesday, Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is considered a holiday for the purposes of developing our models for wait time prediction. In that regard, wait times like 20 minutes at Rip Ride Rockit and 7 minutes at Dragon Challenge are among the least crowded holidays of the year.
