Breakdowns cluster at 8pm, with 180 of the 1104 recorded closures starting in that hour - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 257 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. A further 5 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.

Universal Islands Of Adventure downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

6 Jul to 3 Sept

6 Jul3 Sept

The worst day in this window was 6 Aug, when 41.8% of the park's ride hours were lost and 17 of 19 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 60 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.

Yes. Water rides close in heavy rain, and exposed coasters close in lightning, high winds or very cold temperatures. These figures reflect actual operations including weather closures, which is why uptime varies through the year.
