How we measure it

Closures of 15–240 minutes from the last 180 days (1035 at Tokyo Disneyland).
Storm or park-wide closures are dropped: 2+ other rides closing within 15 minutes, or 5+ already closed (512 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 Splash Mountain is down: its posted wait runs about 4 minutes above the same hour on a normal day (23 closures on 22 days). 12 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 — 512 of 1035 closures here. Those are lightning holds or park-wide events, not one ride breaking.
