How we measure it

Closures of 15–240 minutes from the last 180 days (624 at Shanghai Disneyland).
Storm or park-wide closures are dropped: 2+ other rides closing within 15 minutes, or 5+ already closed (278 removed).
Each ride's posted wait during the closure is compared with the same clock hours on the same weekday over the previous 8 weeks, corrected for how busy that ride was on the day.
A pair is listed only with 8+ closures on 5+ days, an average rise of 3+ minutes, a rise in 65%+ of closures, and an average at least 3× its standard error.
