Breakdowns cluster at 9pm, with 330 of the 2249 recorded closures starting in that hour - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 1461 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. A further 3 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

23 Jun to 16 Aug

23 Jun16 Aug

The worst day in this window was 4 Jul, when 45.6% of the park's ride hours were lost and 45 of 45 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 55 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.
