What is Park Queue Times?

Park Queue Times is a free website that tracks live ride wait times and predicts daily crowd levels for 110 theme parks worldwide, including Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Universal and Europa-Park. Queue times are read from each park's own published feed every few minutes while the park is open, so the number on a ride page is the same number on the board at the entrance.

Those readings are kept day by day, which is what makes the rest of the site possible: an hour-by-hour average for every ride, a reliability score showing how often each ride actually runs, and a crowd calendar that scores each day from 0 to 100 against that park's own busiest recorded day. Forecasts run six weeks ahead and are re-scored against what really happened, and the accuracy is published openly in the almanac.

Everything on the site is free to use with no account required, and the same data is available to developers through a free public API. Park Queue Times is independent and is not affiliated with any theme park or operator.

We would rather say "we don't know" than make a number up.

NightlyWe mark our own homework
Every forecast is compared with what actually happened that day, and the model corrects itself overnight. Nobody edits the numbers by hand.
LowWe say when we're not sure
A park we've only tracked for a few weeks is labelled like this, on the day itself. We would rather tell you we don't know than make a number up.
£0Nothing important costs money
Queue times, calendars, alerts and every planning tool are free and stay free. Ads pay for it. There is no tier that unlocks the real data.
