I know there is no reason for them not to but it just looks funny that they have these crazy custom designed buckets, and then just have the standard number plates on them.

I think tipping the cabins and dumping the riders onto a slide below could speed up the unloading process!

For some reason, the gondola cabins don't look to hold more than 6 comfortably... maybe I'm looking at them wrong?

This unload process is gonna be fun....and efficient.

Perhaps, you are looking at a small picture and not the actual object. I can't even fit my fist in the picture. Plus I don't believe the subject about "comfortably" has even come up yet. That may need it's own thread.

Which cabins are you referencing? Different models have different capacities.

If they are the Omega IV-10 Si D Models rumored they will fit 10 without strollers or ECVs.

We went over this a few pages ago. Seat width is what you would find in the economy section of a modern commercial airliner. The difference is there are no dividers, so if there are fewer than 5 people on a side, everyone can spread out more. And we are talking about no more than 10 minutes seated at a time. If you wanted, you could even stand in the middle.

Fit and fit comfortably are 2 very different things. Especially on a trip out of the park in July when people have been sweating for hours. I don't particularly want to be in that cramped cabin with 9 other sweaty people that smell as bad or worse than me! The monorails can be bad enough but at least there is (usually) A/C.

Seems like this crowd should just walk or take Uber...errrr Minnie Van$.

as has been discussed, due to the high capacity of this, in most cases a gondola won't "fill" up. In many cases, each party will take a single gondola. If you have a party of 10, you could fit in one gondola. I know I have been with a party of 10, and my group could fit fine.

I'm going based on a recent picture of one of the cabins. My dad has driven a semi with a trailer like that. The cabin sits right above the axles, and you can fit about 6 people in that space comfortably... the trailer is about 8 ft wide, and the wheels about 6. Maybe like I said, I might be looking at it wrong.
