We counted Jungle Cruise processing around
770 guests per hour this morning in the MK. For reference, Disneyland's JC averages just under 900 guests/hour in our observations.
WDW can have 1 more boat in operation than DL, so MK's capacity should be somewhat higher than DL's. It's not, as of now.
In standing by the exit, we observed the following:
- One boat seemed to be dedicated to training new skippers. It had a total of five passengers, all CMs.
- We overheard one skipper telling another that they were scheduled for two mandatory 12-hour shifts this week
We're counting throughput again, and counting how many distinct boats are in operation. Initially, this sounds to me like a staffing issue and a maintenance issue at the same time.
ETA: In the past hour (1 pm to 2 pm Eastern) at Jungle Cruise: 885 guests with 7 boats running. There were at least 28 people on each boat. That works out to a cycle time (load,ride,unload) of around 13:20, I think.
Also, with just 7 of 9 boats on the water, the ride is running at no more than 78% of capacity.
ETA:
@RSoxNo1, this is the follow-up to your request from earlier.
