Is there any reason Disney doesn't design coasters that seat 4 across? Too much of a glitch in the theming? Too "Six Flags"? Or do you just need a huge track to compensate for larger cars?
I would just think it would be something good to increase capacity on what will be, without question, a very popular ride.

Here's the deal...
Almost every 4-across coaster in existence is manufactured by a company called Bollinger & Mabilliard or B&M.
Disney has never worked with B&M for several reasons, the biggest of which is the fact that B&M is not known for working well with outside design firms.
For instance, Universal wanted a launch for Hulk, a B&M, but the company refused to build a launch. Universal had to buy the coaster, then engineer and install their own launch system.
Disney has worked well in the last few years with Vekoma and Intamin, two companies who build only 2-across coasters.

Arrow did develop a 4 across train but it has never been used. (it also had around 30 rows).
But anyway, Everest's track is huge but the fact is that it is standard size. Both BTMRR and Space Mountain have smaller than normal track.

Why don't Vekoma and Intamin use 4-seats? Is there some special technology involved that only B&M has, or...?

ToT looks like a shack compared to it...It's a tall, rather thin building. This is a MOUNTAIN. Although I'm sure the measurements say otherwise, it certainly FEELS a lot bigger and more substantial, even as the pile of steel it is right now. ToT is big, but EE is massive.Epcot82Guy said:

Yeah, and the last time I saw it, it was back in April. The mountain has put on a lot more weight since then. I am really excited to see it when it is finished. When I first saw the pics I was thinking, "is that it, man I could through a stone over it". Then when I walked up to it, I thought the mountain was going to eat me. I wasn't all that impressed until I saw it.Epcot82Guy said:
