Breakdowns cluster at 7pm, with 291 of the 1,104 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 594 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 12 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.

Futuroscope downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

17 Sept to 8 Oct

17 Sept8 Oct

The worst day in this window was 8 Oct, when 59.9% of the park's ride hours were lost and 54 of 55 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 13 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?

Does weather affect Futuroscope 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.
