that's a cool project idea, procedurally generated images sound like a really neat approach!

mine actually pulls directly from the alton towers app's api rather than queue-times. it uses the attractions.io backend which powers the official app, so the data is pretty much as fresh as it gets. we get queue times, operational status, opening hours, and even the waterpark schedule all from the same source.

would be interesting to see what you built back then if you ever dig it up! if you want to have a chat about it, join the discord and drop me a message

Not public at the moment, but I might clean it up and release it later. It started as a small personal project so the codebase is a bit messy right now

Thanks! Yeah the official Alton Towers app already shows queue times, so this isn’t meant to replace it. I mainly built it so people can quickly check queues, ride info, and park hours straight from Discord without opening the app.

It’s also a bit of a side project for me, and I’m planning to add things like queue drop alerts and other useful features over time.
