Plan Around Closures
Our optimizer automatically accounts for ride closures and refurbishments when building your itinerary.
Start PlanningHow We Track Closures & Reliability
RopeDrop monitors ride status across EPCOT every five minutes using live data from the ThemeParks.wiki API. When a ride transitions from operating to a non-operating state, we log the event with a timestamp and track it until the ride reopens.
The "Most Unreliable Rides" table reflects downtime incidents over the trailing 90-day window. An incident is an unplanned breakdown: a period where a ride's status is Down for at least 5 minutes (to filter out brief sensor blips). Scheduled closures and refurbishments are not counted. Average downtime is the mean duration of all incidents for that ride.
This data is collected automatically and updates in near real-time. Historical reliability trends can help you decide which rides to prioritize early in the day, when breakdowns are least likely, and which attractions may need backup plans in your itinerary.
