Breakdowns cluster at 4pm, with 150 of the 957 recorded closures starting in that hour - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 569 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. A further 1 closures start in the 10pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.

Silver Dollar City downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

13 Jul to 7 Sept

13 Jul7 Sept

The worst day in this window was 29 Jul, when 37.8% of the park's ride hours were lost and 31 of 31 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 53 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.
