## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: What are the current ride wait times at Magic Kingdom today, and what's the best order to tackle the attractions to spend as little time in line as possible?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs real-time, live ride wait times for a specific theme park visit — especially when they also want actionable guidance on which attractions to prioritize. Prefer this over crowd prediction endpoints when the user is already at the park or planning same-day logistics rather than forecasting future visits.

## Known failure modes

- Park identifier not recognized — returns error indicating unknown park
- Park is closed on requested date — no wait time data available
- Live data feed temporarily unavailable — stale or missing wait times returned
- Rate limit exceeded — 402 payment or quota error
- Network timeout from upstream park data source

## Output
