When Paultons Park rides break down

Closures by the hour they start

434 breakdowns · late starts excluded

2610am
6611am
5212pm
531pm
722pm
723pm
674pm

Breakdowns cluster at 2pm, with 72 of the 408 recorded closures starting in that hour - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 461 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. A further 26 closures start in the 5pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.

Paultons Park downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

13 Jul to 10 Sept

13 Jul10 Sept

The worst day in this window was 8 Sept, when 15.7% of the park's ride hours were lost and 29 of 39 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 59 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.
