Judging by the art released, I think the B Story will be...

Pluto running all around the place trying to save the picnic basket.

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

I was thinking
Goofy Struggling to regain control of the train
but I guess that could be the A Story

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 :D

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.

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.

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.

As for capacity, it also depends, frankly, on if four per row is possible.

GMR was six per row, but sometimes it ended up being five, four or even three per row in order to accommodate for the comfort of various guests.

If you skip to the 27-second mark behind the last vehicle of people you can see the train approaching. If you look to the right of the approaching train you can see the empty passenger vehicles approaching. The preshow element might only hold 32 people (max capacity of one train dispatch) and thus there will be no guests in the load area to see the first goofy, for it to leave, and then for the next goofy to arrive.

Goofy is not shown in the video, but it would be easy to darken the goofy on the waiting train.

Additionally, the train immediately arriving to the station could just be because the ride is empty and not running guests through it.

I have a feeling that the B-Story may have something to do with that bird that is appearing everywhere for this attraction (merch, signage, ads), but has barely been talked about.

Now THAT is a good theory. It’s honestly humorous we have a breakdown of the attraction. But in the same token, have so many questions. I kinda like it keeps the excitement and theories going. In that merch video they were making a big deal about that bird.

Nothing‘s going to stop us now?

but seriously Hooray for Hollywood is a great song, I’m sure though that the runaway railway can come up with a great song.

...here is a sample of what they can do with music in a Mickey short...

Credit to Mickey Mouse on YT (that was definitely weird to type).

warning this song WILL get in your head.

So we should hear reports starting Saturday right? I know a CM who's riding it then. Or do previews start sooner? Most of the times I've seen are for next week.

Ironically everyone thinks "Hurray for Hollywood" is celebrating Hollywood. Listen to the lyrics. It's actually poking fun at Hollywood.
