When Chessington World Of Adventures rides break down
Closures by the hour they start
1,223 breakdowns · late starts excluded
Breakdowns cluster at 3pm, with 199 of the 1,199 closures that started before the park's final hour beginning then - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 275 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 24 closures start in the 6pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.
Chessington World Of Adventures downtime day by day
Share of ride hours lost
23 Jul to 20 Sept
The worst day in this window was 10 Aug, when 96.4% of the park's ride hours were lost and 31 of 31 rides went down at some point.
Uptime is the share of the park's own operating minutes a ride was running, recorded every few minutes and averaged over 56 days. A closure counts as one breakdown when it lasts ten minutes or more; shorter stops still count towards time lost, because a two-minute reset is not a fault. Touching closure windows are merged into one closure - a ride shut all day arrives from the feed as that day sliced into the sampling interval, and counting each slice would report one bad day as a hundred breakdowns.
