How we measure it

  • Closures of 15–240 minutes from the last 180 days (1216 at Tokyo Disneyland).
  • Storm or park-wide closures are dropped: 2+ other rides closing within 15 minutes, or 5+ already closed (543 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.

Frequently asked questions

Which Tokyo Disneyland lines get longer when a ride breaks down?

In our data, the clearest case is Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin while Big Thunder Mountain is down: its posted wait runs about 5 minutes above the same hour on a normal day (15 closures on 12 days). 7 ride pairs at Tokyo Disneyland met our consistency bar.

How do you rule out storms?

We drop any closure where 2 or more other rides also closed within 15 minutes, or 5 or more were already closed — 543 of 1216 closures here. Those are lightning holds or park-wide events, not one ride breaking.
