Epic Universe is the lowest rated theme park in Orlando

You're talking about a Tom Corless video and he's anything but honest.

I like Tom and his team but since he got back on Disney's media list, he is as real as his new hair..

Will also add that for whatever reason, they are slow at dispatch, it's baffling. I can't understand why Space Mountain at Disneyland can dispatch a train of 12 every 30 seconds or Incredicoaster at DCA can dispatch a train of 24 every 36 seconds, but it takes Hiccup's Wing Gliders closer to 1:30 for a train of 20.

This entirely depends on the design of the coaster and how many block zones there are on the track. Space Mountain has enough block zones that a 30 second dispatch is possible. Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain has so many, and such small trains, that the dispatch interval is even smaller. I'm not sure what it is.

But they should have known that any coaster will be a big draw, and built only high capacity coasters. For example, apparently a lot of people enter Dark Universe and see the Curse of the Werewolf track and assume that that is the main attraction, simply because it is a coaster. In reality, it is a significantly less impressive experience than Monsters Unchained and has a much lower capacity as well.

Incredicoaster and Hiccup's Wing Gliders are comparable then; from what I can gather online, they both have 7 block zones, both have dual load stations, and are capable of running up to 5 trains on the track at a time. It seems though that Hiccup's only using one load station at the moment, which I'm sure is part of what's making the line move interminably. Even so, the grouping and boarding procedures at Universal aren't nearly at the level they should be too.

Definitely agree with capacity concerns; Mine Cart Madness is a B-ticket themed like a E-ticket and that gap in experience will forever make that dead end in the park slammed unless they decide to start building paths between portals.
