    As you may have worked out from my name, I code stuff for the internet. One such thing that I made, is Theme Park Queue Times, which provides live queue time data for 11 parks around the world(more are being added). You might ask, what is the point, considering all of the parks already have apps, however these apps only display queue times within the park, my website allows you to view queue times anywhere. The site also has some interesting graphs and statistics on each ride, and I am adding more features every day. I hope you find it useful, feel free to make suggestions as to how I can improve it.

    I know no one even cares about this anymore, but I added the queue times for Heide Park, see them here.

    Cedar point now has an app, which has the data - all it took was a little bit of tinkering.
    I made a few changes to the crowd calendar page, now its sort of like how it was before, for days in the future the colour shows how busy I predict it to be, and then for days in the past the colour shows how busy it actually was. Click on any day in the past and you can see wait times for that entire day. See it here.

    Swarm is probably the least forceful, if you go on that you'll probably come out wondering what the big deal was about.

    Well it was mostly a joke. I think questions like "How exactly do I extract the zip file?, "How do I link the site?" or "I know how to take the screenshots, but how do I put them in the post?" might have been mostly responsible for this

    Peppa pig world was also not that expensive (£6 million) and when you consider how much business that brought to the park, it really does go to show that going with tried and tested rides often works out better than splashing out stupid amounts of money on emerging technology. I saw this picture on twitter

    There's nothing complicated about the themeing in that picture, but it just looks good

    Yes! When it opens for summer I will try and add Europa to the site.
     
    Sadly Thorpe seem to have dropped support for their really old mobile app (which was the source of the data). I can't really blame them given that the app hasn't even been on the store for about a year, but its still a shame. Hopefully merlin will make a new mobile app for Thorpe (Chessington recently had a new one made), I'm afraid that until then there is no way of getting the data. Queue times at PortAventura have always been a bit dodgy, the park was really bad at updating the times for their app, and seem to have also given up updating them. And yes, I really should add universal 
     
    Essentially Chessington seem to have two sources of wait times, but each one seems to display something different (one is only sometimes available). It's really confusing, but the way it is at the moment the last updated one will appear at the top of the list. 
     
    Thanks, it is a shame that the Thorpe Park page is no longer updated. I've been trying to make it easier to access data the site has collected, particularly Thorpe, so now if you go on the calendar you can go back to dates in the past and click on a date, you will be taken to a page with queue times and eventually other stats for just that day.
