How Disneyland is managing crowds at Star Wars themed amusement park

Walt Disney Co.’s efforts to prevent overcrowding at its new Star Wars themed land appear to be working.

Websites that track attendance at Disneyland, the second-busiest theme park in the world, say the crowds have been manageable. The wait Wednesday afternoon for the signature Millennium Falcon ride was as little as 25 minutes, comparable to the 25-year-old Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, according to Laughing Place Inc., which uses a proprietary system to track crowds.

“Just like Monday, majority of visitors at Park Opening headed straight for GE, leaving very minimal wait times everywhere else. Fewest crowds I’ve ever encountered at Disneyland. Even GE didn’t feel too crowded by late AM, and wait times for SR 60 min or less throughout PM,” tweeted Stephen Shih (@shihsl).
