Two hours in line for two minutes of thrills. We've all been there. The problem isn't knowing there's a 40-minute wait. It's knowing whether 40 minutes is a lot. WikiCoaster answers that. For every ride, we compare the current wait to what we usually see at this hour, on this day of the week. You no longer read “40 min”, you read “23 minutes LESS than usual”. And now you know to go right away. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE - Live wait times for 33 parks: Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, Disneyland, Disneyland Paris (Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World), Europa-Park, Efteling, Phantasialand, Alton Towers and many more - How far each ride is from normal — the one number that tells you what to do right now - Live park crowd levels, and how many people are standing in the queues - Which rides are quieter than usual, and which to avoid within the hour - My day: your wishlist sorted by “now is the moment”, and what you've already ridden - Visitor reviews on every ride WIKICOASTER PLUS — ONE SINGLE PAYMENT No subscription, no renewal. Pay once, unlocked forever, on all your devices. - Day plan: a route built for your group. Tell us the ages of the children and what you're after, and we put your rides in the best order, with walking times and your breaks. - Alerts: we tell you when a ride drops below your threshold, breaks down or comes back. - Park data: the best day to visit, the longest waits, and which rides are consistent or unpredictable. - Today's curve and forecast: hour-by-hour waits today, and above all what's coming until closing. Plus 7-day history and reliability, ride by ride. WHY IT'S RELIABLE We've been recording wait times continuously for months. That history is what makes it possible to say what's normal — and to spot what isn't. When a figure rests on too few readings, we show it as an estimate, or we don't show it at all. No ads. Available in 10 languages. Wait times come from public sources. WikiCoaster is not affiliated with any park. WikiCoaster Plus is a one-time purchase. The price is shown in the app, in your currency. There is no subscription and no automatic renewal: once bought, it stays unlocked on every device using the same Apple Account.
