    How ParksRadar™ works

    ParksRadar calls each park's day good, some trouble or rough, for that kind of park: from the weather forecast, and from how busy the day looks against that park's own normal. On the map, green is a good day, amber is some trouble, red is a rough day, and black is a park that is closed today.

    Ratings and hours are forecasts, not official figures. Always confirm on the official park site.
