Wait Time

Wait time (also called queue time) is the estimated duration a guest must stand in line before boarding a ride or attraction. Parks post wait times at ride entrances and on their official apps, calculating the figure from queue length sensors, historical throughput data, and current loading efficiency. On busy days a single popular attraction can show waits of 90 minutes or more, making real-time data invaluable for planning your day.

park.fan tracks live wait times updated every few minutes so you can monitor conditions across all attractions simultaneously. By comparing wait times across a park in real time you can identify which rides are experiencing temporary lulls and which have built up long queues — and act accordingly. Combining live wait data with the crowd calendar gives you the full picture before you even arrive at the gate.
