What 90 days of history shows
The hourly chart above covers the last two weeks, which is the right window for what today looks like. These three take the long view, where a weekday pattern needs a full season before it means anything.
Quietest day of the week
Across the last 90 days, Krakatau Aqua Coaster has run its shortest lines on Sundays (about 40 minutes) and its longest on Saturdays (about 60 minutes), a difference of roughly 20 minutes.
Median posted wait per weekday. Medians, not averages, so one breakdown day does not move the number.
What the end of the day is worth
Krakatau Aqua Coaster peaks around 1 PM at a median of 55 minutes. By 6 PM that median is 35 minutes, so riding late rather than at the peak has been worth about 20 minutes in line. Your own day can differ, and this is what the history showed.
How often it goes down
Krakatau Aqua Coaster was reported temporarily down in about 12.1% of the checks taken while it was scheduled to be running, across the last 90 days. Build a little slack into the day around it.
Measured against the checks taken while the ride was scheduled to be running, not against every check. More than half of all readings on any ride are taken overnight while the park is closed.
