Rope-Drop Downtime Report: Week of Sep 7–9, 2026
Published September 9, 2026
The week of Sep 7–9, 2026, Test Track (EPCOT) had the most rope-drop downtime at Walt Disney World (through Sep 9, 2026, week in progress): down 45.4% of its observed operating hours across 3 tracked days, according to SupaPark’s own ride-status log.
SupaPark’s collectors read every headliner’s public status roughly every 5 minutes. “Down” here means the ride’s status came back closed at some point WITHIN its own observed operating window that day — not counting the overnight hours the park itself is closed. A ride we never saw open on a given day is left out of that day’s count rather than scored as fully down.

How this is measured
Each ride’s daily operating window runs from its first to its last observed open reading that local day; every closed reading inside that window counts as downtime, every reading outside it (overnight, before/after the ride was seen running) does not. This week’s ranking covers 54 tracked rides across all four Walt Disney World parks, through Sep 9, 2026 — this week isn’t over yet, so these numbers will keep moving.
