Getting started
- On the home screen, pick a park and date. Add an optional label if you like (e.g. “Morning” or “Day 2”) to tell similar days apart.
- Tap “Open visit” to open that day’s list and stats. Already tracking something? Use “Resume last visit” under the summary to jump straight to your latest day.
- On the visit screen, tap through each attraction: Visited, Unavailable (closed that day), or Not for us (open, but you skipped it).
In the park
ParksLog shines as a living list. Open your visit when you arrive and tap attractions as the day moves—after you step off a ride, in line for a snack, or when you notice a marquee says “closed.” The “Remaining” filter and running counts show what’s still realistic before the gates shut. It’s the same habit generations had with a pen on a paper park map; here the mark is a tap, and rain won’t wash away your plan.
Where your trips live
ParksLog saves your visits on the device you’re using—your phone, tablet, or laptop. Open the site on a different device and you’ll start fresh there; there’s no cloud sync yet. If a summary matters to you, use Share on a visit to send yourself a copy. Clearing this website’s data in your browser (or removing an installed app and its data) will erase your trips on that device only.
Park & attraction guides
Alongside the tracker, ParksLog offers read-only guides for parks and attractions: longer write-ups, height and duration notes, tags, and history on some favorites. Attraction pages may show temporary closures, closure history, and rough reopening windows when we have that information. Open Parks from the top menu or the home screen link. Guide articles are in English for now; the rest of the app follows your language setting.
Attraction statuses
- Visited — You rode or did it.
- Unavailable — It was closed that day (refurbishment, breakdown, etc.).
- Not for us — It was open but you chose not to do it (e.g. too intense, didn’t meet height, not interested).
- Unmarked — Not decided yet; filter by “Remaining” to see only these.
Utilization stats
Each visit shows two headline percentages. If our closure data suggests rides may be down on your date, you’ll also see a short heads-up—always double-check official park info:
- Utilization (of what was open) — Visited ÷ (total − unavailable − not for us). Rides that were closed or that you skipped don’t lower this.
- Overall utilization (entire park) — Visited ÷ total. How much of the full park catalog you did.
Below these, you’ll also see per-type breakdowns for Rides and Entertainment (shows, meets, etc.), each with its own visited/total count and utilization percentage.
Combining visits
To see how much of a park you covered across several days (e.g. two Epic Universe visits):
- On the home screen, tap “Combine visits”.
- Select two or more visits from the same park.
- The combined stats appear below: utilization of what was open and overall, plus a breakdown (visited, unavailable, not for us, remaining).
Tap “Done combining” to return to normal and open a visit by tapping it.
Searching attractions
In “All attractions,” type in the search bar to narrow the list. Cards surface the highlights—height rules, thrill level, good for kids, and whether it’s a ride, show, or experience—so you can scan without opening every detail.
Attraction details
Tap the ℹ button on any attraction card to open a full description and requirements (e.g. height). The card itself already shows a short line with requirements, thrill level, good for kids, and type.
On park guide pages and in the info panel, some attractions also show minimum height, top speed, and biggest drop when we have that data. Your unit choice in Settings (Imperial or Metric) controls how those numbers are shown.
Edit label & share
On the visit screen, tap the label in the header to rename or add one (e.g. “Morning” or “Day 2”). Tap “Share” to copy a tidy summary—park, date, stats—to paste into a text or post. From Parks, the “closed rides” page is a quick planning snapshot of closures we’re tracking (verify with the park before you go).
