When Disney California Adventure rides break down
Closures by the hour they start
511 breakdowns · late starts excluded
Breakdowns cluster at 8pm, with 79 of the 497 recorded closures starting in that hour - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 79 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. A further 14 closures start in the 9pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.
Disney California Adventure downtime day by day
Share of ride hours lost
23 Jul to 20 Aug
The worst day in this window was 23 Jul, when 40.1% of the park's ride hours were lost and 15 of 22 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 29 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.

Does weather affect Disney California Adventure reliability?
Yes. Water rides close in heavy rain, and exposed coasters close in lightning, high winds or very cold temperatures. These figures reflect actual operations including weather closures, which is why uptime varies through the year.
