Breakdowns vs. opening delays: This page covers mid-day breakdowns, when a ride stops working after it was already running. These are mechanical failures under load with different causes and patterns than opening delays (late starts at park opening, typically from overnight maintenance or morning inspections). For opening delay data, see the Rope Drop tab.
