What's New
Latest updates and improvements
Every Ride, One Tap Away — and Easier to Find on Google
Each park page now ends with a complete A–Z index of its rides, each showing its typical wait, so you can jump straight to any ride's live times, busiest hours and reliability — even the smaller ones that were harder to reach before. Crowd calendars are now browsable month by month too (e.g. how busy a park will be in August or over October half term), and the best-time page now shows full monthly and day-of-week crowd breakdowns. Behind the scenes we gave park, ride and best-time pages clearer titles in search results (so it's easier to find us when you look up a park's crowd calendar or 'is [ride] open today'), added richer structured data, and fixed a handful of rides whose accented names stopped their pages loading.
Live Wait Times Refresh the Moment You Return
If you left Park Queue Times open in the background and came back a little later, the on-screen clock would tick back to the right time but the queue times sometimes stayed frozen until the next refresh. We've fixed that: when you return to a park or comparison page, we now check how old the data really is and pull fresh wait times straight away if they're stale - so what you see is current the instant you look. This works even when your phone parks the page in memory, which is common on iPhone.
No More Phantom “Update Available” Nags
If you've added Park Queue Times to your home screen, you may have seen a “new version available” banner that kept coming back even when you were already up to date - especially on iPhone. We've reworked how the app detects updates: it now compares the live deployed version against the exact build you're running, so the banner only appears when there's genuinely something newer - and it tells you which version (like 7.0.1) is ready. Once you're on the latest, it stays quiet.
Our Public API Is Here
Developers can now build with our live theme park data - free. The new Park Queue Times API serves live wait times, opening hours, schedules and crowd predictions for every park we track, through a clean versioned API. Create your free key from the new API Keys page in your dashboard (you can view and copy it any time), check out the docs at /developers, and you're away - 60 requests a minute, 10,000 a day, at no cost. All we ask is a 'Powered by ParkQueueTimes.com' credit in your app or site. Your dashboard also shows live usage stats for your key: requests per day, response times, top endpoints and which countries your traffic comes from.
Set Ride Alerts Right From the Ride Page
You can now set a wait-time alert straight from any ride's page - just tap the bell next to the live wait. If a ride is closed or broken down, a one-tap 'Notify me when it reopens' button appears so you can catch the exact moment it's back up. And you no longer need an account first: choose your alert, and we'll keep your choice while you sign in, then set it up automatically the moment you're back.
A More Cinematic Homepage
The homepage now opens like a title sequence: the headline melts into focus word by word, the park backdrop slowly settles into place, and the live queue board and crowd calendar glide in just behind it. As you scroll, each section now rises into view with the same soft focus-pull, so the whole page moves as one. And if your device prefers reduced motion, everything simply appears instantly - no animations attached.
A Brand-New Plus Page
We've completely rebuilt the Plus page so it actually shows you what Plus does. There's now a live 'command centre' that flips real wait times, predicts the quietest day and fires a queue-drop alert right in front of you, followed by an animated walkthrough of every feature - weather-powered crowd forecasts, the best days to visit months ahead, the smartest ride order, instant drop alerts and deep trend reports - each with its own interactive demo. The whole page rides one golden-hour sky from top to bottom, and the simple Free-vs-Plus plan picker you already know is still right where you'd expect it.
Shared Trip Links Work Again
We fixed a routing issue that broke direct links to some pages - opening a shared trip link or refreshing certain dashboard pages could show a 404 error instead of the page. Those links now load correctly every time, and old bookmarks to our previous Pro page now land on the new Plus page as intended. We've also retired the little-used embeddable widget - old widget links now simply take you to the homepage, where live wait times are front and centre.
Make Your Plus + Your Own
Plus members now get a colourful + next to the Park Queue Times logo - and you can choose its colour. Head to Appearance in your dashboard to pick from a set of free colours, with extra colours (and an animated Aurora) unlocking the longer you stay with Plus. A small thank-you for being part of Plus.
Introducing Park Queue Times Plus
Our premium tier has a new name and a sharper focus: Plus. Everything that makes Park Queue Times great stays completely free, and Plus unlocks the full planning toolkit - weather-powered crowd predictions, the best days to visit months ahead, an optimised trip planner with the smartest ride order, smart queue-drop alerts, deep trend analysis and an ad-free experience. Plus is £3.99/month or £29.99/year (save 37%), with no fiddly free trial - just a straightforward 14-day money-back guarantee and cancel anytime. See everything included on the new Plus page.
A Safer Way to Delete Your Account
Account deletion is now handled as a request that our team reviews, rather than an instant one-click wipe. From your account settings you can still start the process at any time - it opens a pre-filled email to our team, who will verify it's really you before permanently removing your profile, favourites, alerts and trips and cancelling any active subscription. This small extra step protects you against accidental or unauthorised deletions, and we still action genuine requests promptly (usually within 30 days).
A Smoother Month & Year Picker on the Crowd Calendar
We fixed and improved the month picker on the crowd calendar. Tapping the month and year at the top now opens and closes cleanly - previously clicking it a second time just reopened it instead of closing. You can now tap the year inside the picker to jump straight to a different year from a simple grid, rather than stepping through one year at a time with the arrows. And opening the picker no longer nudges the calendar grid downwards - it floats neatly over the days instead.
Privacy-Friendly Sign-In Checks and Refreshed Policies
We've replaced the old Google reCAPTCHA on our sign-in and registration forms with Cloudflare Turnstile - a privacy-friendly human check that doesn't track you across the web and protects your account with far less of your data. We've also refreshed our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy to spell out exactly which services we rely on (such as Cloudflare and Stripe) and what each one does. There's nothing you need to do - just a quieter, more private way to keep bots out.
The Parks List Now Opens to Your Own Country
When you open the Theme Parks list, it now automatically filters to the country you're browsing from - so a visitor in Germany lands on German parks, someone in the US sees US parks, and so on, instead of always defaulting to the UK. If we don't track any parks in your country, we simply show every park rather than an empty list. You can still change or clear the country filter at any time, and your choice is remembered as you browse.
A Cleaner, Modern Navigation Bar
We rebuilt the navigation bar from scratch. It's now a crisp floating glass bar with a refreshed Park Queue Times logo and clear, simple links: Parks (with a quick menu of popular parks), Live Queues, and Best Times to Visit. The language picker now shows proper country flags on every device instead of a plain country code, the whole bar adapts cleanly between light and dark mode with visible keyboard focus outlines, and the mobile menu has been completely redesigned as a smooth, easy-to-tap slide-in panel - so getting around on a phone is effortless.
A Cleaner Crowd Calendar with Clearer Weather
We gave the crowd calendar a proper polish. Each day now has a clearer layout - the predicted busyness sits front and centre, the crowd level (Low, Average, Busy and so on) reads on its own line, and the opening hours are tucked neatly along the bottom. Best of all, the weather is finally easy to read: every day shows a colour-coded icon - a yellow sun for clear skies, a blue cloud for rain, slate for cloudy, violet for storms - next to the temperature, so you can tell the forecast at a glance instead of squinting at a faint grey symbol. The muddy coloured borders are gone, replaced with a soft tint that still tells you how busy each day is, and it all works just as smoothly on a phone as on a desktop.
Ride Pages Only Show Ride Info We Can Stand Behind
Until now, every ride carried a little type label - "Dark ride", "Coaster", "Log flume" and so on - that we guessed purely from the ride's name. It got things wrong: George's Dinosaur Adventure at Paultons Park was tagged a "Dark ride" just because its name contains the word "Adventure". Since we have no reliable way to know a ride's true category, we've removed that guess everywhere it appeared: the badge beside the ride name, the placeholder for rides we don't have a photo of, the FAQ and "About" text, and the description search engines see. Rides without a photo now show a clean initials tile instead of a guessed type. The result: nothing on a ride page claims a category we can't actually verify.
Ride Pages Rebuilt as a Full Stats Dashboard
Every ride page is now a proper data dashboard. Up top, live stat tiles show the wait right now, today's average and peak, how that compares to a normal day, uptime, closures, where the ride ranks for busyness in its park, and its busiest and quietest hours. Then the data: today's wait plotted minute-by-minute against the ride's typical pattern, a clear 'best time to ride' recommendation, a 'typical day' chart of average waits by hour, the busiest days of the week, a recent-days trend line, a wait-mix breakdown (short/medium/long queues), a 'compared to the park' leaderboard ranking every ride by busyness, how weather affects the crowds, a reliability score with a 7-day uptime trend, a Top 10 busiest days on record (tap any to jump to it), and the day's downtime history. It's packed with genuinely useful data, works in light and dark, and is fully mobile-friendly.
Real Ride Photos on Almost Every Attraction
Ride cards used to fall back to a coloured gradient with an icon whenever we didn't have a photo - which, until now, was most of them. We've added genuine, on-brand photographs for nearly 3,000 rides across 80+ parks, sourced straight from each park's own website. So Cedar Point's Steel Vengeance, Blackpool's ICON, Phantasialand's Taron, Disney's Space Mountain and thousands more now show the actual ride instead of a placeholder. Attractions we still don't have a photo for keep the clean gradient fallback, so nothing ever looks broken.
Fixed "Unable to Load Parks" for Returning Visitors
Some visitors were getting stuck on an "Unable to Load Parks" error and could only recover by fully clearing their browser cache - something no one should ever have to do. The cause: our park-data API told browsers to hold each response for five minutes, so if a momentary hiccup ever slipped through, the browser kept replaying that broken copy instead of trying again. We now tell browsers to always re-check for fresh data (while our edge cache still keeps things fast), so a one-off blip recovers by itself on the very next load.
A Brand-New Homepage: The Park Board at Golden Hour
We completely rebuilt the homepage around one idea - arriving at the park at golden hour. The whole page is a single sky that ripens from a warm dusk at the top down into night as you scroll, with our hand-drawn ride skyline on the horizon. At its centre is a tactile split-flap "ride board": pick a park (Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Europa-Park) and watch every row mechanically flip to that park's wait times. Below, the data story shows how queues build through the day and which days are quietest, and it closes on a free "admit one" ticket. It loads fast (no live data on the homepage), works beautifully in light and dark, and is fully keyboard- and screen-reader accessible.
We're Now LLM-Friendly: Park Queue Times in AI Answers
Added an llms.txt summary, expanded our robots.txt to explicitly welcome answer-engine crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Apple Intelligence, Common Crawl, etc.), and shipped a fuller Organization + WebApplication JSON-LD block so AI assistants can introduce us correctly when they cite the site. If you ask an AI for live theme-park queue times, we should be one of the sources it can recommend by name and link.
Fixed Ride Pages Being De-Duplicated by Google
Google was canonicalising ~450 unique ride pages onto each other (e.g. Knott's 'Calico Mine Ride' pointing to Energylandia's 'Viking Ride') because our TouristAttraction structured data only emitted client-side after the live API responded. At build time the HTML had no per-ride schema, so the prerendered pages looked near-identical. Now every ride page ships a unique TouristAttraction schema with its own name, classification and parent-park reference baked into the static HTML.
Caught Legacy Calendar URLs Soft-404'ing
Old URLs like /parks/1/calendar/2-Feb-2026 - left over from the numeric-ID era - were falling through to the SPA shell and showing up as Soft 404s in Search Console. The redirect rule that should have caught them only matched the bare /parks/{id}/calendar form, not the dated suffix. Widened the .htaccess pattern so any /parks/{numeric-id}/* legacy URL now 301s to /parks.
Mobile View-Toggle: List Icon Now Renders
On the mobile park page the view-mode toggle had an empty square between the grid and map icons - the list-view button was there but its icon glyph wasn't being included in the font subset we ship. Tracked it down to a regex that only picked up icons ending in -line or -fill, silently dropping standalone ones like ri-list-check. Subset font now includes every icon class we actually reference.
Best Time to Visit Loads Faster
The Best Time to Visit page used to wait for all 12 months of crowd data to come back before showing anything, so on a slow day the spinner stuck around for 3+ seconds. Now months stream in as their fetch resolves - you see the first chart fill in almost immediately, and the rest paint as they arrive. Results are also cached for an hour so revisiting the page (or coming back from a ride detail) is instant.
Parks Page Renders Instantly
The Parks listing used to flash a grey skeleton on first load while it fetched the park list, then swap to the real cards. The full set of 83 parks is now baked into the page HTML at build time, so the list is on screen before the JavaScript has even finished loading. Country flags and park logos are still lazy so we're not blowing up first-paint either.
Fixed Occasional Missing-Styles Error
Some users were seeing a 'Refused to apply style' console error and briefly unstyled content on first visit. Traced it to an older deploy where two different versions of the same JavaScript chunk got cached at the CDN edge and one of them referenced a CSS file that no longer existed. Bumped our service-worker cache so affected browsers flush their stale copies on next visit.
Search Console Indexing Cleanup
Fixed a long-standing soft-404 problem where any unknown URL was returning HTTP 200 with the SPA shell - Google was treating thousands of those as 'Crawled, currently not indexed'. Unknown URLs now return a real 404. Also added X-Robots-Tag noindex headers for /widget, /trip, /dashboard, /auth and the per-park my-day / calendar/days routes (these are SPA shells with no unique content), and added missing canonical tags to the privacy, terms, cookies and updates pages.
Sharper Auto-Generated Ride Descriptions
Tightened the keywords used to auto-detect each ride's type so generic words like 'Flight', 'Express' and 'Expedition' no longer misclassify rides (e.g. The Flight of the Pterosaur was being labelled a motion simulator, Prof. Blast's Expedition Express a park railway). Also added hand-written 'About' sections for both rides at Paultons Park.
Downtime History Now Reflects Reason Changes
When a park updates a ride's closure message partway through the day (e.g. 'Closed All Day' to 'Closed Until 1st of May'), the Downtime History timeline now splits into separate entries instead of sticking with the original reason. Each entry shows the time window it applied to, so you can see how the operator's messaging evolved.
Auto-Generated Ride Descriptions
Every ride page now has an 'About this ride' section. For the 53 rides we've hand-written, you get a curated description; for the rest, we generate a short paragraph based on the ride's type (coaster, dark ride, water ride, drop tower etc.) so each page has its own context. Helps the FAQ stay relevant per ride type too.
Week-on-Week Park Trend Stats
Each park page now shows three small stat cards just below the hero - whether the park is busier or quieter than last week, plus the quietest and busiest days from the past 7 days. Useful at a glance for picking a return visit.
School Holiday Badges on the Crowd Calendar
Crowd calendar days now flag school-holiday windows so you can spot busier dates at a glance. UK parks show England + Scotland separately (their term dates differ); German parks show generic Germany dates; French parks show whichever of zones A/B/C are off. Hover or tap a badge for the full breakdown.
Plan Your Day Route Suggestions
Each park now has a Plan Day page that recommends an order to hit the major rides. Coasters that build long queues by mid-morning go in the 'Hit first thing' bucket; rides whose queues drop late get pushed to the evening. Built from each ride's typical hour-by-hour wait pattern over the last 28 days.
How Busy is the Park Through the Day?
Each park page now includes a chart showing the park's average wait time hour by hour across the last 28 days, with today's actual curve overlaid. Use it to spot the quieter windows in a typical day or check whether queues are running heavier than usual.
Richer Weather Forecasts
Weather cards now show the 'feels like' temperature (accounting for humidity and wind) alongside the daily high/low, plus the peak wind speed for the day. High winds often close exposed rollercoasters, so this is worth checking before you set off.
Single-Rider Queue Indicator
Rides with a single-rider queue now show a small SR badge on the ride card. Currently flagged across the major UK and US parks (Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Disney, Universal, Cedar Point, Busch Gardens, Six Flags, and more). Missing a ride? Let us know.
About-This-Park Sections on Every Park
Each park page now starts with a short About section describing the park, its notable rides, and practical visitor tips. This gives search engines more context to rank each page and helps new visitors get their bearings at a glance.
SEO Content & Landing Page Improvements
Added a homepage FAQ section targeting common queue-time questions for rich-snippet eligibility. Created a dedicated /queue-times landing page. Park pages now include 'Queue Times' in the H1 and render correctly during static generation. Added a popular-parks section with keyword-rich internal links, plus H1 fixes on /about and the parks list.
SEO Indexing & Rich Snippet Improvements
Added missing canonical tags to ride, calendar, best-time and reliability pages. Added BreadcrumbList structured data so park sub-pages can earn breadcrumb rich snippets. Blocked Google from crawling /_nuxt/ assets directory and the SearchAction template URL. Optimized homepage title to lead with 'Queue Times' and tightened meta descriptions.
Sign In With Google
You can now create an account or sign in using your Google account. Existing email/password users can link their Google account by signing in with the matching email - both methods will work afterwards.
Closed Rides Now Show Last Wait Time Inline
For closed rides, the previous wait time (e.g. 'was 30m') now appears next to the 'Closed' label in the ride's wait-time color, making it easier to see how busy the ride was just before it shut down.
Improved Site Name in Google Search
Added structured data signals (WebSite @id, Organization @id, application-name meta) to help Google display 'Park Queue Times' as the site name in search results instead of the raw domain.
Comprehensive SEO Improvements
Added canonical URLs and og:url tags across park, ride, and static pages. Enriched AmusementPark and TouristAttraction structured data with @id, image, and publisher links. Sitemap now includes lastmod dates, and images have explicit width/height to reduce layout shift.
Fixed Black Bar at Bottom on iOS Safari
Fixed a visual glitch where a black stripe would appear at the bottom of the page on mobile, especially during overscroll or when the Safari toolbar animated. The page background and theme color now match the dark theme on iOS.
Park Pages Load Reliably on iOS Safari
Fixed a bug where park pages on iOS Safari could show 'The string did not match the expected pattern' or render with no rides and a missing park name. Invalid timezone values from the API are now handled gracefully, and load failures always show a clear retry prompt.
Closed Ride Downtime Now Always Shows
Fixed an issue where closed rides sometimes displayed their closure reason (e.g. 'Weather Delay') without the 'Down for X' duration. Duration now falls back to recent queue change data so it always appears when known.
Calendar Date Picker Fix
Fixed a bug where clicking a date on ride and calendar pages could select the wrong day. This affected users in timezones ahead of UTC, such as BST.
Ride Images Loading Fix
Fixed an issue where ride images could fail to load and show broken placeholders. Images now display correctly on all park pages.
Improved Search Engine Indexing
Fixed issues preventing pages from being indexed by Google. Best Time to Visit, Plan My Day, and Reliability pages are now fully pre-rendered. Sitemap is now dynamically generated with all park and ride pages.
More Reliable on Mobile
Park pages now automatically retry when your connection drops, instead of showing 'Unable to Load Park'. Ride images also retry loading on slow connections instead of showing initials.
Dark Mode by Default
Dark mode is now the default theme for all new visitors. Previously, users with a light OS theme would see light mode on their first visit. You can still switch to light mode in the navbar.
Better Loading Experience
The loading skeleton now matches the actual page layout with the park info card, search bar, filters, and ride cards - so the page feels faster and doesn't jump around when content loads.
Improved Park Maps
Park maps now use OpenStreetMap instead of satellite imagery. New rides and attractions appear faster on the map since OpenStreetMap is community-maintained and updated more frequently.
Queue Times Refresh After Returning
Queue times now refresh instantly when you return to the site after locking your phone or switching tabs, instead of waiting for the old countdown timer to finish.
Interactive Park Maps
Explore parks with a new satellite map view. See every ride on the map with live queue times, tap for full ride details including descriptions, images, and restrictions. Available for all parks with coordinate data.
Walk to Any Ride
When you're at a park, tap the directions button on any ride to get a walking route with estimated time. Routes follow real pathways powered by OpenStreetMap.
Near Me: Ride Distances
Enable 'Near Me' to see how far you are from every ride while at the park. Sort rides by distance to find what's closest. Distances update as you move around the park.
Enhanced Ride Information
Ride popups on the map now show official descriptions, images, height and age restrictions, and opening hours. Currently available for Paultons Park and Europa Park, with more parks coming soon.
Improved Rising/Dropping/Unchanged Indicators
Queue status badges now accurately track how long a ride has been rising, dropping, or unchanged. Timers properly reset after 30 minutes and at the start of each operating day. Rides without tracking data no longer show a misleading 'Unchanged' badge.
Ride Hours Timezone Fix
Fixed a bug where individual ride operating hours could display in the wrong timezone depending on your location. Hours now always show correctly in the park's local time.
More Accurate Ride Downtime
The 'Down for' timer on closed rides no longer counts overnight hours. It now caps at the time since the park opened today, so you see how long the ride has actually been down during the current operating day.
Redesigned Mobile Navigation
The mobile menu has been redesigned as a sleek side panel with compact navigation, better scrolling, and safe area support for notched phones. Multi-park tabs now scroll horizontally instead of overflowing the page.
Best Time to Visit Pages
Each park now has a 'Best Time to Visit' page showing historical crowd levels by month and day of week. Find the quietest months and days to plan your visit, with data-driven recommendations.
My Day Ride Tracker
Track your park day as it happens. Tick off rides as you complete them, see your total rides and estimated wait time, and get a shareable summary card at the end of the day. No account needed.
Walk On & Go Now Badges
Ride cards now show 'Walk On' badges when waits are under 5 minutes, and 'Go Now' when a queue is dropping below 15 minutes. Spot the best opportunities at a glance.
SEO & Accessibility Improvements
Added hreflang tags for all 5 languages, dynamic social share images for park and ride pages, and improved service worker caching for offline resilience.
Embeddable Queue Times Widget
Embed live queue times on your own website with a simple iframe. The widget shows crowd level, average wait, and the top 5 longest queues for any park. Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds.
Ride Reliability Leaderboard
New per-park reliability page showing monthly uptime rankings. See which rides break down most vs least, with uptime percentages, downtime durations, and closure counts.
Park Comparison Page
Compare 2-3 theme parks side by side with live stats including average wait times, ride counts, crowd levels, opening hours, and longest/shortest queues. Shareable via URL.
New Floating Navigation Bar
The site navigation has been completely redesigned with a floating island-style bar that feels more modern and spacious. The mobile menu is now full-screen with card-based navigation and a segmented theme toggle.
Redesigned Ride Pages
Ride pages now feature a cleaner two-column layout on desktop with redesigned Day Summary, Wait Breakdown, Reliability, Peak Records, and Downtime History cards. Three-digit wait times no longer overflow the hourly heatmap.
New Park Overview Design
The park hero section has been rebuilt with a crowd gauge, cleaner stats layout, and smarter ride recommendations. The 'What should I ride next?' section now shows clear numbered suggestions, and the troubled rides section highlights actual issues more accurately.
Refreshed Calendar & Daily Analytics
The crowd calendar and daily analytics pages have been redesigned with cleaner layouts, accurate crowd levels based on real data, and auto-cycling ride highlights when multiple rides are tied for longest or shortest waits.
New Homepage Design
The homepage hero section now features animated background effects, a live queue preview on mobile, and a more impactful first impression so you can see exactly what PQT offers at a glance.
Individual Ride Operating Hours
For parks that support it, each ride card now shows its own opening and closing hours right next to the area tag. Easily see which rides open later or close earlier than the rest of the park.
Crowd Calendar Fixed on Mobile
Resolved an issue where the crowd calendar wouldn't display crowd levels or schedule data on mobile devices in certain timezones.
Navbar Search Now Works
The search bar in the navbar and mobile menu now correctly carries your query through to the parks page, so you can search from anywhere on the site.
Multi-Language Support
The entire site is now available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German. Use the language selector in the navbar to switch - all text, labels, and dates update instantly.
Faster Page Loads
Pages now load significantly faster, especially on mobile. We've self-hosted all fonts and icons, cut animation delays, and optimised caching - so the site feels snappier whether you're on Wi-Fi or 4G.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach Added
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is now live on Park Queue Times. Track real-time wait times for rides like Icon, The Big One, and Valhalla.
Redesigned Homepage
The homepage has been completely redesigned with a cleaner, more modern hero section. You'll find a new park search bar, feature highlights, popular park quick links, and a live queue demo - all optimised for mobile.
Search from the Homepage
You can now search for a park directly from the homepage hero section or the navbar. Results are pre-filtered when you land on the parks page.
Smarter Ride Recommendations
The ride recommendation engine now uses a popularity-aware algorithm. Instead of just surfacing the shortest queues, it highlights headliner rides with unusually low waits - so you'll see the best deals on rides that actually matter.
Today's Park Overview Cards
Park pages now show scrollable insight cards at the top with today's peak and quiet hours, the busiest ride, and how many attractions are walk-on right now.
Live Park Status Badges
Park cards on the homepage now show whether a park is Open, Closed, or Operating instead of a generic "Live" badge, so you can tell at a glance which parks are active.
Backend Service Architecture Overhaul
The entire data ingestion pipeline has been rebuilt into dedicated service classes for queue times, rides, schedules, and more. This makes updates faster and more reliable across all parks.
More Accurate Ride Downtime
Downtime tracking now properly scopes to today's data only, preventing inflated or stale downtime numbers from carrying over between days.
Major API Performance Boost
Overhauled the backend for significantly faster queue time updates. Ride data now processes in fewer database queries, and Pro endpoints like Insights, Trends, and Reports are cached intelligently so they load almost instantly on repeat visits.
Faster Ride History Pages
Ride history pages for past dates now load much faster thanks to response caching and optimised database queries. Reliability scores and top queue records are also calculated more efficiently.
Snappier Pro Reports & Insights
Weekly and Monthly reports, Insights, Trends, Recommendations, and Park Comparisons now use smart caching. Data refreshes every few minutes so you always get near-live results without the wait.
Faster Load Times & SEO Improvements
Pages now load significantly faster thanks to code splitting - only the page you're viewing is loaded, not the entire app. We've also added unique page titles and descriptions for every park and ride, making it easier to find us on Google.
Breadcrumb Navigation
Every park, ride, and calendar page now has breadcrumb navigation at the top so you can easily see where you are and jump back to parent pages. This also helps search engines understand the structure of the site.
Accessibility Improvements
Added skip-to-content link for keyboard users, better screen reader support for live queue time updates, and improved navigation across the site for assistive technologies.
Fixed Ride Downtime Display
Resolved an issue where ride downtime could show as "Down for 0m" even when a ride had been closed for much longer. Downtime is now calculated more accurately from timestamps.
26 New Parks: SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Six Flags & More
Massive expansion! We've added SeaWorld Orlando, San Antonio & San Diego, Busch Gardens Tampa & Williamsburg, plus 18 Six Flags parks including Magic Mountain, Great Adventure, and Over Texas. Also added Plopsaland, Plopsaland Deutschland, and Energylandia.
Swipe Navigation & Crowd Calendar
You can now swipe between parks on mobile. We've also added crowd calendar utilities to help you pick the best day to visit.
9 New Parks: Walt Disney World & Universal
All four Walt Disney World parks are here - Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Plus Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay, Epic Universe, and Universal Studios Hollywood.
Improved Park Hours Accuracy
Park opening and closing times now use UTC for accurate comparisons across timezones. No more confusing time mismatches.
27 New Parks Across Europe, Asia & North America

Trip Planner with Weather Integration
Pro users can now plan trips with weather forecasts built in. Get live guidance during your visit to optimise your day.
Push Notifications for Ride Alerts
Get notified on your phone when queue times drop below your threshold. Never miss a short wait again.
Dark Mode Improvements
Refined the dark mode experience with better contrast and readability across all pages.
Crowd Calendar Launched
View historical crowd levels on a calendar for any supported park. See which days are busiest and plan accordingly.
