When Chessington World Of Adventures rides break down
Closures by the hour they start
925 breakdowns · late starts excluded
Breakdowns cluster at 3pm, with 162 of the 901 closures that started before the park's final hour beginning then - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 211 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 24 closures start in the 6pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.
Chessington World Of Adventures downtime day by day
Share of ride hours lost
11 Aug to 9 Oct
The worst day in this window was 13 Aug, when 25.9% of the park's ride hours were lost and 30 of 31 rides went down at some point.
Uptime is the share of the park's own operating minutes a ride was running, recorded every few minutes and averaged over 50 days. A closure counts as one breakdown when it lasts ten minutes or more; shorter stops still count towards time lost, because a two-minute reset is not a fault. Touching closure windows are merged into one closure - a ride shut all day arrives from the feed as that day sliced into the sampling interval, and counting each slice would report one bad day as a hundred breakdowns.
