Actually this multiple timelines idea clears up one of the things which had been bugging me about the show.

For such a theme park to work, the storylines would have to be reset at some point and begin again. This obviously wouldn't be a daily event or guests would live the same day each time. So lets say it is weekly.

Maeve has been through the same story cycle (her brothel being robbed) multiple times, so this would indicate her story takes place over a long time period, a few weeks at least possibly more.

Meanwhile Delores seems to be in one story cycle for most of the show. A shorter time scale.

So either the storylines reset daily, and Maeve has been killed, repaired and put back within 24 hours (which would seem dumb) or one storyline has been going at a much quicker pace relative to the other. Which fits in with the fan theory.
