I have always liked how knowledgeable many of the participants in this forum are, so I was wondering if I could get some help understanding some stuff about the WDW monorail.
On the http://www.wdwmagic.com/transportation/monorail.htm page, it says "On a typical day, more than 150,000 guests use monorail transportation." Is this for a typical day or a peak day? Obviously, it says this is a typical day, but I can't imagine this being the ridership on an average day.
It is my understanding that Magic Kingdom can accommodate something like 75,000 guests on a peak day, so if 100% of guests take the monorail to the Magic Kingdom (instead of riding the ferry or buses), that can get 150,000 riders in a day with Magic Kingdom round trips. So, I could totally believe that there are 150,000 rides on the monorail on New Years Eve (the number of people riding the ferries and buses might be similar to the number of people riding the Epcot line?). But a typical day when MK has something like 50,000 guests? How many people ride each line in a day?
I know Disney doesn't release this type of information, but maybe someone has some educated guesses? I searched the forums and was unable to get any sense of what these answers may be. I would appreciate any information or thoughts on this.[/B]
