Know

queue.
See how long every queue is right now, and how busy any day of the year will be. We score each day 0 to 100 for how busy the park gets, so you can pick a quiet one. Free. 81 parks.
How busy
will it be?
Drag the slider to see what a day scores, and what that actually means for your queueing. These four colours mean the same thing everywhere else on the site.
A day like this is manageable. You would wait about 47 minutes for Wicker Man, and queues get shorter after 4pm.

Every day in August, scored for how busy we expect the park to be. Tap a day to see what to expect. The quiet ones are rarely where you would guess.
Live queue times rise

Pick an hour to see how long each queue usually is at that time of day. The list always shows the shortest queue first. Built from thousands of real readings per ride.
Peak. Everything with a big drop is at its worst. This is water-ride and show o'clock.

We'll tell you when
the queue drops.
Queues fall without warning - a show lets out, rain passes, a ride reopens. Pick a ride and the wait you would accept, and we'll send one notification when it happens.

What is Park Queue Times?
Park Queue Times is a free website that tracks live ride wait times and predicts daily crowd levels for 81 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 and alerts are free and stay free. Plus adds convenience, never access. There is no tier that unlocks the real data.
Go on then.
