Breakdowns cluster at 8pm, with 174 of the 1,042 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 644 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 34 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.

Six Flags Over Texas downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

22 Aug to 18 Oct

22 Aug18 Oct

The worst day in this window was 30 Sept, when 52% of the park's ride hours were lost and 50 of 50 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 29 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.
