The schedule itself is not stored here: the page loads today's live times from /api/waits?view=shows, which reads the free ThemeParks.wiki live feed (it mirrors each resort's official app and website schedule). Park hours and separate-ticket event windows come from /data/hours.json. Categories below are ParkScoop's own grouping by show name and time of day, not an official label.",
