Averages cover tier 1 and 2 attractions inside published park hours. Parks without enough operating days yet are left out rather than shown on a thin sample.
Across every park we measure, the first hour after opening is consistently the quietest, and the late afternoon is the busiest. The gap is often 20 minutes or more per ride.
It changes daily. The live board ranks all 12 parks by current wait score, which is a better guide than any fixed ranking.
Between 10 and 10 operating days per park. This is a young archive and the numbers firm up as it grows.
