## Ride alerts questions

### Can Parky tell me when a ride's wait goes down?

Yes. Set a ride alert with the wait you want and Parky notifies you when the posted wait drops to it.

### Does Parky alert me when a broken-down ride reopens?

Yes. A reopening alert fires when a ride that was down starts posting a wait again.

## About Parky
