Breakdowns cluster at 6pm, with 317 of the 1,008 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 675 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 9 closures start in the 9pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.

Six Flags New England downtime day by day

Share of ride hours lost

11 Aug to 4 Oct

11 Aug4 Oct

The worst day in this window was 31 Aug, when 98.2% of the park's ride hours were lost and 54 of 54 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 28 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.
