When Universal Volcano Bay rides break down

Breakdowns cluster at 4pm, with 119 of the 462 recorded closures starting in that hour - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 457 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. A further 41 closures start in the 6pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.

Universal Volcano Bay downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

22 Jun to 20 Aug

22 Jun20 Aug

The worst day in this window was 30 Jun, when 78.7% of the park's ride hours were lost and 20 of 20 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.

Does weather affect Universal Volcano Bay reliability?

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.
