    What should I ride next, right now?

    Ride-Now shows every live wait time and flags rides that just went walk-on so you always know your smartest next move.

    The quick answer

    Open Ride-Now at /now and it shows you the best move right now: every ride’s live wait time across all four parks, sorted so the shortest, highest-value options float to the top. Pair it with the live heatmap at /app/map to see where crowds are thinnest. Together they answer one question — what should I ride next? — without you opening a single other tab.

    What Ride-Now shows you

    • Every live wait time, updated in real time, for all parks. This is free for everyone.
    • Walk-on flags — when a ride craters to a near-zero wait, Ride-Now calls it out so you can grab it before the crowd notices.
    • “Just cratered” signals — rides whose waits suddenly dropped, often a short-lived window worth sprinting to.
    • The heatmap (/app/map) — a live view of which lands and parks are hot and which are quiet, so you can drift toward the calm corners.

    Because SupaPark runs the most accurate Disney wait-time and forecasting engine around, these flags tend to surface real opportunities — not noise.

    How to use it in the park

    1. Open /now on your phone’s browser.
    2. Scan the top of the list — those are your shortest waits right now.
    3. Look for walk-on and just-cratered flags; those windows close fast, so move quickly.
    4. Check /app/map to confirm the area isn’t about to get slammed.
    5. Head to your pick.

    Want the opportunities to find you?

    Ride-Now is great when you check it, but you can’t watch it all day. Ride-Now anomaly alerts push you a notification the moment a major ride goes walk-on or its wait suddenly craters — so you don’t have to keep refreshing. That’s a Plus feature ($14.99/mo).

    To get alerts:

    • Grant your browser’s notification permission when prompted.
    • For the most reliable delivery, install SupaPark to your home screen (web push is the primary channel).
    • Family ($30/mo) adds SMS alerts on top.

    A note on Lightning Lane

    If Ride-Now shows a long standby wait, check whether a Lightning Lane is worth it — but remember SupaPark only watches and alerts. Any booking happens in your own My Disney Experience app, never inside SupaPark.

    The bottom line

    Keep /now open between rides and let it point you to the shortest, smartest next move. Add Plus alerts and the opportunities come find you instead.
