While MMRR will be significantly shorter than GMR according to some insiders here, just wanted to point out that ride length has nothing to do with how many people get through the attraction. For instance, the people mover is usually sited as one of the highest capacity rides at WDW. At a length of ~10 minutes, it is much longer than dumbo and much shorter than Ellen's Energy Adventure was.

Why is this the case? Number of ride vehicles? Quick loading? Omnimover vs standard load?
Could be a combination but GMR had a couple of scenes that were fairly long pauses. Gangster/Western, Temple, and Wizard of Oz. You take that time out and you have dropped ride time by a few minutes.

Not to derail the railroad thread, but the only variables that really matter when talking about hourly capacity is rate between dispatches and number of people in each dispatch. For example:
Dumbo the Flying elephant has 16 pachyderms per side. Lets average and say there are 2 people per dumbo on each ride for 32 riders every time dumbo takes flight. The ride time is 1.5 minutes and probably takes another 1.5 minutes to get everyone out of their dumbo and the next group in and buckled up. This gives us a cycle time of 3 minutes between dispatches (1.5 ride time+1.5 transition to next group). If dumbo sets off every 3 minutes, dumbo can take fight 20 times an hour with 32 passengers each time. Therefore each side of dumbo gets through 32*20= 640 people each hour. Because there are 2 sides, the whole dumbo ride gets through about 1,280 people each and every hour.
To show that it doesn't depend on ride time, lets look at another "spinner", Astro Orbitor. Astro Orbitor consists of 12 rockets, each able to hold 2 passengers for a total of 24 passengers for each flight. The ride also takes 1.5 minutes and lets say it takes 1.5 minutes of transition time, just the same as dumbo. So AO can take 24 people, 20 times each hour for an hourly capacity of 480 people per hour.

The question becomes...are we talking like a Rise type experience with all the preshows. Or a mystic manor type experience in terms of length with an added preshow.
Manor. With a similar preshow layout (albeit duplicated)

That’s still great! So I did some digging Manor is about 7-8 mins from preshow to ride end (this obviously doesn’t include queuing). The 7-8 min includes the (about 2 min) preshow. Before, I’m asked yes, I do count preshows as part of the ride, considering the importance of this one being able to see some of the short before walking though the screen (an effect I’m excited to see). The actual ride time of manor is about 6 and a half minutes (give or take). Like I said before though I count the preshows.

Oh, and @marni1971 another question for you. How big are the preshow theaters? Since their are two of them?
Preshows are just preshows for this.
Otherwise it’s like taking the temperature in direct sunlight and declaring it’s hot.

I hear this over and over again, but Touring Plans has People Mover’s capacity at 1,920, which is high but nothing extraordinary.

I would dispute that. At least as opened.I hear this over and over again, but Touring Plans has People Mover’s capacity at 1,920, which is high but nothing extraordinary.

A THRC of 3600 and an actual count (which I assume came from exit counting) of 1920 puts peoplemover in ROTR territory as far as capacity utilization.
Rereading the article, it indicates that the calculation is based on a riders per vehicle of 10, while I’d assume the THRC basis is something like 20.
This gap matches my real world experience.
