Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

I’m shaking my head that anyone is happy that this ride will be hundreds less than that.
If it could actually handle 2100 an hour that’d be a step in the right direction.

We can now have a boat ride with an R2 boatman paddling us through the sewers on a river of lava in a concrete boat.

How many attractions operate at close to THRC? Obviously 100% is impossible. What would you say is a reasonable goal if 2100 is theoretical? 2000?

How many guest can be in the physical queue line??
Around 400 less that theoretical.
If I'm willing to wait in a standby line that I can actually join, I'm 'guaranteed' to ride every other ride on property. I can walk on FoP any day of the year, right up until park closing time, and ride. I'll take that with a 2 hour line anytime over having to be in the park before opening time and receiving a 'random' ride slot that doesn't have a guaranteed time associated with it.

Hopefully they will reach close to this sooner rather than later.
It varies per attraction. The THRC is not impossible (well, hitting it exactly pretty much is) but attractions usually hit at least 100 riders less per hour no matter how hard the operations team tries, because there will always be delays, slow guests, etc. The OHRC is determined by including an expected number of delays. The type of delays and how much they affect the capacity also vary per attraction.

Nope. Mid-high teens is the achievable target. Wish I was wrong of course.

Many here forget that the vague estimated waits for boarding groups often conflict with other plans, especially in other parks. It wasn’t uncommon to see someone arrive at 7, get boarding group 105, but then tell us about their lunch/dinner plans at Epcot. 2 hours is admittedly a generous window, but it still wasn’t quite working for a lot of guests.
Boarding groups cause you to invest your state of mind into Rise of the Resistance. You will never stop thinking about it or worrying about it until your group is called.
Imagine what a six hour wait in a queue does to one's plans.

god how many times are we going to talk around ourselves
if a six hour queue doesn’t fit your plans, you Don’t Join It. that is how literally every E-ticket attraction in history has worked.

Agreed.
However you were complaining that the 2 hour window wasn’t working for some people. @MisterPenguin was saying that it offers more options than waiting in an actual line for 6 hours.

But that's the thing: for MMRR and Rat (aside from the first day or so) you wouldn't have to be in the park by opening, because the supply vs. demand and operational challenges plaguing RotR don't apply. Guardians is more of a wildcard due to its innovative ride system, but 2020's openings and even Tron should be way smoother than Rise.
Assuming these attractions aren't immediately available with FP+, boarding groups give guests a chance to experience them as a bonus, instead of having to show up well before park opening & survive the rope drop dash (which has gotten increasingly aggressive over the years, even for attractions like Slinky) or settle for a 2-4 hour standby wait. It also means people aren't stuck in a queue for every instance of downtime, which is more common during the first few weeks of operation.

Test shifts have been scheduled for MMRR! Expect to hear a lot of details from loose-lipped cast members in about 2 weeks.
Are you saying they're encountering issues that didn't occur during pre-opening testing?
Or is their "unforeseen operational issue" the sheer number of people trying to ride it?

It is my opinion that anyone that would join a 6 hours queue for a theme park ride has serious problems and should see a doctor sooner rather then later. However, it might make a good Litmus test to determine complete insanity.

Man I'm so excited for the ride! I was sad when Great Movie Ride was removed. I still believe they should've updated the ride with new movies or have it be based on Disney movies or mickey mouse through the years. But this ride looks great!

agree and that was the point I was trying to make earlier regarding boarding groups. (MansionButler84)... Sure many can ride the new ride, if they are there before opening! And are successful with the work it takes to sign in and sign up. If thats the only option to ride new attractions its a problem, for me anyway.
