I was looking around for Ride Capacities of Disney rides and I thought I'd do some of the calculations myself because I couldn't find them.
Splash Mountain runs between 50 and 54 boats, the ride is approximately 10:30. Seeing as load and unloading times are factored into this and there are 8 people per boat I can estimate Splash Mountain's capacity at approximately 2285 per hour, (that's w/50 boats) however it's probably closer to 2000 given the empty seats often put in boats when guests have odd # of guests in their party.
With Everest these projections are a little trickier because we don't know how many trains are going to be on the tracks and how long the ride is. We know their are separate loading and unloading zones, so there will be at least 3 trains. One in the ride, one in the loading area, and one in the unloading area. My guess is that there will be 4.
If the ride is 3 minutes, and if loading and unloading is a minute a piece, I can estimate Everest's capacity at 1632 per hour. Again, given certain variables this is probably closer to 1500, but for a short ride it should move people relatively well.
