They have souped-up and turbo-boosted both queues today. I joined the main queue and was out of PH in less than 3 hrs. If you are a senior citizen, have problems walking/standing or have small children, very fast! There are plenty of water and snack points along the entire stretch of the queue. You will be offered more water than you can drink, no fear!
Please go now, no problem...sure can come out before 8pm, with plenty of time to spare.
I am glad I went today to give LKY a bow to send him off on his final journey. It was worth it, no regrets. The old folks infront of me were very emotional....
