How we measure this

SupaPark checks Lightning Lane availability every few seconds and records every change. For each day we find the first minute after 7:00 AM Eastern when no return times are left and fewer than 10% of the following hour has any. That minute is the sellout time. If nothing was left at 7:00 AM and the hour before, the day counts as gone before 7 AM.

Short re-releases (cancellations) after a sellout do not undo it; we count them separately, and record when return times came back for a sustained hour. We leave a day out when our collection had a gap or the ride itself reported being down near the sellout, so a breakdown is never counted as a sellout. Times are park-local (Eastern). Data as of 2026-10-20, covering the last 31 days.

Metric definition. A Lightning Lane "sellout" is the first minute after 7:00 AM Eastern when no return times are left and fewer than 10% of the following hour has any; that minute is the sellout time. A day where nothing was left at 7:00 AM (or in the hour before) counts as "gone before 7 AM" rather than as a time. Short re-releases from cancellations after a sellout do not undo it. Days with a collection gap, or when the ride itself reported being down near the sellout, are left out, so a breakdown is never counted as a sellout. The "median sellout time" is taken over days that sold out after 7:00 AM only; "sold-out days" counts both kinds. Every number comes from the same daily table (ll_sellout_daily) on every SupaPark page. Weekly figures: SupaPark Data. Ranked across headliners: Lightning Lane Sellout Index. All definitions: methodology.
