Breakdowns cluster at 4pm, with 108 of the 735 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 432 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 9 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.

Silver Dollar City downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

2 Aug to 28 Sept

2 Aug28 Sept

The worst day in this window was 6 Aug, when 33% 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 47 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.
