Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[doctornick]

If the dispatch rate is close to PHH it will have a respectable capacity, a first for an E-Ticket for the modern Imagineers.

Shanghai POTC has pretty large capacity I believe. Unless you are limiting the discussion to just stateside.

Oh man that video. They might as well just had them glancing down at clipboards to read off of as it was so unbelievably scripted. Also the best thing someone could say was that it was "unique"?

Describing a ride as unique is pretty hilarious. Almost all rides are unique.

I was thinking of "the talent moat" as described on the Garry Shandling show. Some people are good at (fake) ad libbing on camera, most aren't.

I guess all the CMs that were getting off of RotR and saying how great it was were also just spinning, too.

BTW, cool conspiracy, bro.

 

[Surferboy567]

Okay. I've now watched every short to date so the ride won't be any shock to me. I'll be familiar with the animation style.

I think it helps a great deal to watch them all plus, I love them. Hoping for some nice callbacks to reward those who watch the shorts. We already know the Potatoland theme is in the queue.

What? The ROTR reactions seemed genuine. Here they do not. Also, none of the reactions in this video seem to be true reactions, it's all just kind of marketing speak.

It's like asking someone if they had a good time on a date and they respond that it was "memorable."

 

[Surferboy567]

I don’t really remember if this was in the detailed breakdown.

also Disney reactions ALWAYS seemed manufactured I wouldn’t look too much into it.

They all went to the tired "amazing" and "exciting" over and over. If this was a marketing spiel handed to them, I would hope marketing owns a thesaurus.

Tho, the utterance of "most unique" transcends all poetic ideals in the use of an impossible concept to describe what words dare not utter!!

 

[TP2000]

BTW, the cast member in the video who said "most unique" should be fired.

Yes, but at least she didn't use the word "amazing" in her statement. So maybe she just gets put on probation for a week instead of termination?

All of the rest of the hourly CM's in this video have fallen victim to that horrible condition many young people have today where the only positive adjective left in their vocabulary is the word "amazing".

EDIT: We posted our criticism of their stunted vocabulary at the same time! Great minds think alike. AMAZING!

I can't imagine the cubicle farms of Celebration own a single thesaurus. Have you read the average Parks Blog post lately?



Back on topic, I was thrilled to see these vehicles hold 24 people. They won't get 1960's and 70's levels of hourly capacity of 2,500 to 3,000 hourly riders, but they should get at least 2,000 riders per hour after they get the kinks worked out.
Bravo WDI!

It's worse than that. She said "most unique", and her 8th grade Language Arts teacher is yelling at this YouTube video now.

My sense of it is that these CM's were just riffing and ad-libbing for the camera. But their statements were so vacuous, and so repetitive, that it probably would have been better had they been given a script to read by marketing.

My gosh, how I miss that show! It had me falling off the couch in gales of laughter back then. So smart and funny!

But something tells me this video was just the CM's riffing on their own, and because it's the year 2020 and they are under the age of 30 they have a shrinking list of words to describe emotions and thoughts with. Amazing and Excited are about all they have left.

I think there's supposed to be four vehicles per train. The video, being up close to the train, only showed three at a time.

So, it's 32 people per train launch.

@marni1971 expects 1,800 - 2,000 pph.

Okay, good to know. I'm going to keep hoping for 2,000 per hour because of the easy vehicle logistics for boarding. After they spend six months working out all the kinks, of course, which I think is understandable.

This really is a good sign that not everyone in WDI thinks it is acceptable to design expensive new rides that can only get 1,600 riders per hour. I'd love to see them get back to the 1960's standards of 2,500 per hour and up, but just breaking the 2,000 per hour threshold again is refreshing.

That is a very possible B Story...but in these shorts anything goes.

I was thinking

Spoiler: B Story

Goofy Struggling to regain control of the train

but I guess that could be the A Story

Goofy is unaware of train detachment.

 

[Disneyson]

That is the next vehicle coming up immediately behind it.

Having a train instantly replace the departing train is a sign of a high dispatch which will allow it to have the high capacity mentioned above.

Time for @marni1971 swoop in and crush my dreams with a THC of 1200

If there is another train immediately replacing the previous train, will there be two visible Goofys? That I would think is a huge faux pas, even in a slap-dash cartoon world. Unless they cover it by Goofy exiting the train/closing a curtain as the ride ends.

Rock'n Roller Coaster dispatches every 53 seconds on average. At 53 seconds this ride would match TGMR's OHRC with full trains. While I imagine a more likely average trainload is more like 28ish, I'm hopeful they can beat 2000. Curious what the minimum required time between dispatches is.
