Live

Live waits for a park

Rides, walk-through attractions and shows with their posted standby wait, status, Single Rider wait and Lightning Lane return window, from one shared snapshot refreshed at most every 5 seconds. Queued rides (type: "ride") are always listed, with status unavailable and null waits when no live value is reported. Walk-through attractions (experience), shows (show) and character meets (meet) are listed only while reported. When the park has no current live data, data_status is unavailable. Posted waits typically change every few minutes; to follow changes, use the stream instead of polling. Returns 403 rights_unavailable when the server has provider-derived data disabled.
