Breakdowns cluster at 7pm, with 474 of the 1435 recorded closures starting in that hour - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 753 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. A further 38 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.

Dorney Park downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

22 Jun to 20 Aug

22 Jun20 Aug

The worst day in this window was 21 Jul, when 73.7% of the park's ride hours were lost and 58 of 58 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 41 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.

How is uptime measured?

Each ride's open or closed status is recorded every few minutes through the park's own operating hours. Uptime is the share of those minutes the ride was running. 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.

Does weather affect Dorney Park 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.
