When Sea World Gold Coast rides break down
Closures by the hour they start
53 breakdowns · late starts excluded
Breakdowns cluster at 2pm, with 19 of the 52 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 124 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 1 closures start in the 4pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.
Sea World Gold Coast downtime day by day
Share of ride hours lost
26 Oct to 10 Nov
The worst day in this window was 9 Nov, when 49.3% of the park's ride hours were lost and 16 of 16 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 16 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.
