The calendar groups its estimates into three levels so dates are easier to compare. Each label describes estimated queue pressure. It does not give an attendance count or a guaranteed wait for your favourite ride.
Lighter
The estimate suggests less queue pressure than the higher bands. A popular ride can still have a long line, especially if its capacity is limited or it has just reopened after downtime.
Busy
Allow time for queues and choose which attractions matter most to you. Many dates can share this label. That is a reason to read their details, not a reason for us to manufacture more different-looking ratings.
Very busy
The calendar rules or short-range index place the date in the highest band. Leave more room in your plans. The rating does not mean that admission is sold out or that the park will reach capacity.
Check how the date was rated
A recent-history estimate and a long-range calendar outlook can share a label while using different inputs. Open the date to see the basis and confidence. The annual outlook has not been validated against a full year of crowd observations.
