Breakdowns cluster at 3pm, with 270 of the 1955 recorded closures starting in that hour - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 585 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. A further 53 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.

Six Flags Great Adventure downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

22 Jun to 20 Aug

22 Jun20 Aug

The worst day in this window was 6 Jul, when 98.6% of the park's ride hours were lost and 49 of 49 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.
