Wait Score — recorded & projected
The park's Wait Score through the day: the average posted wait across its open E- and D-Ticket rides. Solid is what was recorded; dashed is what we project, built up from each ride's own projection. Any of the next seven days can be picked to see its projected day.
AI projections
Projected wait times are live on every ride and park page — the dashed line is the plan.
Standby Board AI projected wait data is live
Built with flagship AI models on our own robust dataset — twenty months of park-wide waits, per-ride readings every few minutes, published hours and party nights, weather, holidays, school breaks and ticket prices — Standby Board projects every ride's wait, hour by hour, up to a week out.
Pick the best day to go from the projected Wait Score, then build the perfect agenda for the day you're in the park: see when each ride is projected to be shortest and plan your route around it.
Tickets and experiences
Sold by Viator, an authorised reseller. Ratings and review counts are Viator's own and are shown as they stand — resold park tickets often rate lower than the parks themselves. Links to Viator carry this site's partner code, so a ticket bought after clicking one may earn Standby Board a small commission at no extra cost to you.
