Theme Park Wait Times API

Queue Times offers an interface providing access to live waiting time data for over 80 amusement parks. Theme park operators supported include Merlin, Disney, Universal, Six Flags, Cedar Fair and SeaWorld. With a database spanning back to 2014, Queue Times is one of the largest datasets of waiting times in the world.

The Real Time API offers live waiting times and current ride statuses. These data are updated every 5 minutes.

Access to the Real Time API is free, though you are required to display the message Powered by Queue-Times.com that links to https://queue-times.com/en-US somewhere prominent in your app or service. If you can afford to, please also sponsor the project on Patreon.
