📊 How we rank the parks
1. Average wait time
We pull live waits for every operating attraction and compute the mean. Closed rides don’t count.
2. Operating attractions
Parks with most attractions down get penalised — a low average is misleading if half the rides are closed.
3. Open status
We cross-check each park’s official schedule. Parks reporting "operating" outside their posted hours are filtered out.
