When Port Aventura World rides break down
Closures by the hour they start
1,357 breakdowns · late starts excluded
Breakdowns cluster at 10pm, with 327 of the 1,351 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 3,459 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 6 closures start in the 11pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.
Port Aventura World downtime day by day
Share of ride hours lost
31 Aug to 29 Oct
The worst day in this window was 6 Oct, when 75.1% of the park's ride hours were lost and 84 of 87 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 60 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.
