Ugh. Please do not run. This is like a fungus that only grows. Show everyone how we do it!
The running is actually pretty meaningless, only saving 10 minutes or so (unless the ride breaks down),
To reiterate my rope drop posts: upon park opening go to the left entrance turnstiles or the middle. These are portable ones and people do not line up there for some reason. But you know better! Do it!
When the rope drops 30 minutes before park opening, walk briskly to Seuss. Line up on the left. So many dummies ran all the way there, lined up on the right, and found themselves just three parties in front of me. Not worth it.
Take the Green Eggs and Ham short-cut. They direct people that way but some think they can outrun you going through all of Seuss Landing. They cannot.
If you need a locker, use the 2nd bay. Have a plan. (I'm getting the card to open it, you put bag in head-first, etc.), then walk out the other opening of the locker bay and find yourself about 3 parties behind where you were. This is no big deal. If the ride is running, it is a continuously moving queue. If it breaks down, well, there is no way you could have anticipated that, and nothing you could have done about it.
The runners are quite a few, and aren't planing for bathroom breaks, etc. A smart plan and an even temper will get you there just as quickly. I have the
data to show it.
