Why Turnstile Times Exists

To bring thoughtful, entertaining and independent coverage of theme parks, attractions and experiences — combining proper standards with a genuine love of the industry. Turnstile Times helps you decide what’s worth your time in parks, attractions and experiences — through reviews, scores, guides, videos and The Lowdown.

The Turnstile Score

Theme parks are incredibly complex experiences. A park might have outstanding rides but poor operations, or beautiful theming let down by weaker food and drink. The Turnstile Score breaks each park, ride, attraction, or experience into six key categories, allowing us to evaluate every part of the visit clearly and consistently.
