Common questions

What is a Wait Score?

The average posted standby wait, in minutes, that a park's rides carried on a given day of the week -- higher means busier.

Which Orlando park has the biggest gap between its busiest and quietest day?

Islands of Adventure shows the widest swing among the parks ranked here.

How is this different from the live Wait Score on the dashboard?

The dashboard's Wait Score is a live snapshot of E- and D-Ticket rides right now. This page instead averages over months of history, grouped by day of the week, to answer a planning question rather than a right-now one.
