We visited on Friday, December 11. The longest we waited for a rollercoaster was five minutes. The line for the raft ride showed a 25 minute wait but it was like 65 degrees so we skipped that.
Despite the lack of lines for rides, though, the auditoriums for the shows were full. We were at each show about 20 minutes beforehand and had no problems grabbing seats with enough distance around us, but as you get to the five minutes before the show, people continue to pile in. We've unfortunately also found that the people who tend to show up less than five minutes before the shows are the people who don't care much about distancing, so it felt a bit crowded around us.
We were at Busch the day before (Thursday, December 10), and the lines were terrible. We had purchased quick queue for $15/person in advance and I have no idea why it was that cheap with the lines we ran into. Rides were all at least 45 minute waits and Cheetah hunt was like 60-75 mins consistently. Buy quick queue if you're going to brave Busch.
