When Universal Volcano Bay rides break down
Closures by the hour they start
166 breakdowns · late starts excluded
Breakdowns cluster at 2pm, with 49 of the 165 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 340 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 1 closures start in the 5pm 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
11 Sept to 25 Oct
The worst day in this window was 23 Sept, when 63% 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 45 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.

How is uptime measured?

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.
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.
