I don't know, but isn't "lumpia" a Hawaiian egg roll?

For all the hubbub about Disney being incapable of building high capacity rides anymore...

Flights of Passage actually has a huge capacity.

It's actually a Filipino egg roll.
Vey strange that they named it that.

Heard back from Disney Media Relations. The drinks are not bioluminescent.

likely glowing ice cubes or bottom of the drink with encased led light... nothing they don't do elsewhere... just may be calling it this for marketing sake

Talked to a manager at Tiffins today who also confirmed not real bioluminescent or phoshorescent or black light glow-in-the-dark. Just an LED hidden in the cube or glass.

Details? please share... I have seen speculated numbers, but nothing huge or confirmed. Can't even verify if it's one passenger or two per banshee.

"Huge" conflicts with most other reports, which have estimated a low-to-mid 2000s THRC. Which would be respectable, but not huge.

"Huge" conflicts with most other reports, which have estimated a low-to-mid 2000s THRC. Which would be respectable, but not huge.

Here is my calculation:

1 person per banshee * 8 banshees per section * 6 sections per theater * 4 theaters = 384 riders. So if they can mange a 7 minute cycle time that would be 1645 riders per hour. A 10 minute cycle time would get you to 1152 per hour.

That's what I remember seeing calculated, which I guess I don't consider huge. 1645 being basically equal to 7 Dwarfs and 1152 being basically equal to Splash or Test Track (from other unconfirmed reports I've read)

 

[doctornick]

Yeah, "huge" seems unlikely, but if they can (and generally do) fit 2 people per banshee, then maybe we are talking about them getting into the 2500-3000 range which would be pretty substantial. If someone wants to call that "huge", I think you could defend it.

Of course, the film could also be relatively short leading to a smaller cycle time.

It's going to be way more than that.

You are low balling Test Track and Splash. Seven Dwarfs is around 1800...

Huge may have been a slightly aggressive word, but generous is correct, even if they take their sweet time it will break 2k. Which is way better than pretty much anything stateside for well over a decade.

For animal kingdom's guest volumes and with a height restriction it will be 'huge'.

 

[danlb_2000]

It's going to be way more than that.

Where are the numbers wrong? Based on the pictures of the ride system the number of ride vehicles seems correct, so I am either over estimating the cycle time, or under estimating the people per vehicle.

Check the MDE app! I believe these are new, yes?

I am wondering how much they will reveal about the rides tomorrow.

You're high on 7 dwarfs. Gringotts does about 1600 an hour if they're moving quick. Most rides that aren't omnimovers actually hit between the 1200-1700 margin when you factor in safety checks that never go as quickly as the ride will allow dispatches. Too many things hinder that such as people fumbling with all of their stuff, getting their children in the restraints, etc. Theoretical capacity is usually pretty high but never usually attained in the real world, because of safety checks..... and tourists.

It is only one guest per banshee, but loading and unloading guests will take more time, especially with guests trying to fiddle with the restraint system, and properly stowing their gear on the storage shelves.
