The ranking is each ride's typical wait, which stands in for popularity - the rides people queue longest for tend to be the headline attractions. It is not an editorial "best" score.

Typical waits are each ride's own recorded queue times over recent weeks, sampled every few minutes through the park's opening hours. A ride with too little history to average honestly is left out.
