If you fail to purchase an entrance ticket ahead of time on the internet, then you will wait inline forever to purchase one here. The red circle above only tells half the story. The line loops and therefore, there is an additional row of people on the other side of those you see above. If you are going, then email me and I will give you the internet address link where you can buy your ticket and print it out on your computer at home.
