How this recap is measured

Every number here is measured, not forecast: SupaPark's half-hour wait archive, measured midday (12–5 PM) average posted wait of the park’s most-waited headliners (Magic Kingdom: 6 rides, EPCOT: 6 rides, Hollywood Studios: 6 rides, Animal Kingdom: 6 rides), counting only days with enough observations. The level column puts that measured wait on SupaPark's 1–10 crowd scale (1 = under 24 min, 2 = 24–29, 3 = 30–35, 4 = 36–41, 5 = 42–47, 6 = 48–54, 7 = 55–61, 8 = 62–68, 9 = 69–76, 10 = 77+ min). Days with too few observations are left out, not estimated.
