Some projects start with a business plan. This one started with a stroller at a fairy-tale lake, a gondola ride through "1001 Nights" — and the question of whether sixty minutes in the Taron queue are actually worth it. The story of a passion project that learned to read theme-park days.
Stories, data and news from the parks
Honest trip reports, wait-time data dives, and concise news from the parks we cover. Written by humans who stand in lines so you don't have to.
From the continent's "biggest" Halloween event at Movie Park, through the uncompromising Traumatica, to the notorious Walibi Experiences — for which people voluntarily pay 20 to 25 euros extra to go through things they'd rather not talk about afterwards: the big — and, honestly, rather gleeful — overview of the 2026 Halloween season in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Complete with the two top parks that pointedly sit the whole circus out, and the question of when it gets busiest.
Sixty minutes of waiting — and yet the time simply flies by? No coincidence: behind every good queue lie psychology, storytelling and hard-nosed capacity math. A deep dive from the pre-show to Little's Law — and, right in the middle, the reason park.fan exists.
