What's that mean for capacity and wait times when it's opened and slammed? Journey into Imagination "benefits" from both low demand and trains with 2x maximum capacity than the Encanto cars. All else equal, Encanto will have multiples of increased demand but only send off half the people compared to Journey into Imagination?
Toy Story Mania sends off fewer people with each load (8) but has multiple tracks to absorb high demand. Is Encanto only going to have one track?
Test Track also has 2 rows of 3 buy has a single rider line to fill vehicles. But a single rider line for a family ride doesn't seem like it would be as acceptable. Maybe a question for Jim Schull is how Disney decides between single rider queues and even-odd separations and neither.
Or is an anticipated long Encanto line what you're talking with Kali question?
I'll take a crack at it. Lets say each row is 35" with 5" between each row and 18" between the 2 cars.
Total car length is 75" and each train is 168" or ~14 feet long. Now assuming ~4 train lengths (56') between ride vehicles during show scenes so everyone has their own story. The effective length of the train is now 70' of dedicated track space per train. Assuming 3ft/second a new train can be dispatched every 23.3 seconds. This gives ~154 dispatches per hour. For a 12 person train this gives a theoretical capacity of ~1,851 people per hour.
A ton of assumptions in here, but a high capacity slow moving, 12-person train, with 23 second dedicated show scenes is certainly possible.
