SDMT What will the normal wait be?

[danlb_2000]

Could part of it been from waiting for the next train to clear the block? Or was it all loading?

Couldn't tell from the video. It was taken from the front see so you can't see the other people loading.

Silly me. I must be wrong about the hourly ride capacity because you "have a feeling."

Want to know why people who actually know what they're talking about don't share real information here? Because of people like you (and the majority of the rest of the regular posters) who ONLY accept the answers *they want to hear* based on nothing but their own misinformed opinions, while at the same time sheeping to false "insider" idols who have NO idea what they're talking about (see: posts claiming Seven Dwarfs Mine Train capacity will be between 600-800 people per hour). So take this as an eye-opener: your "opinion" on fact doesn't matter. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train hourly capacity is literally three times that of Peter Pan's Flight. If you want to spread your Doom & Gloom, go right ahead - but it doesn't change the simple fact that the capacity is huge for a smaller-scale family roller coaster. Yes, it will have that "new ride shine" that draws more people in this year than it will next year, but that doesn't change the simple fact that the ride can handle massive lines in an extremely efficient manner.

So, to put an end to your speculation - no - it is not entirely possible I am wrong. Because I am correct.

What is the hourly ride capacity of Mine Train going to be?

What is the hourly ride capacity of Mine Train going to be?

3 times the capacity of Peter Pan=3,300 people per hour. The reason it took so long to build was to install the wormhole.

It's currently at 3 hours before 7:00am. Sounds like a good time to ride basically anything else.

Hourly capacity/throughput aside, you also have to try and figure in guest demand/desire and re-rides. With the ride being new, MANY will want to ride it, and will be willing to wait. Then you have re-rides, where people will get back in line to ride again, further increasing demand. This in comparison to Peter Pan, where a lot of guests might not be willing to wait and ride again, or might even avoid riding at all if the wait exceeds 45-60 minutes. In short, it's not an apples to apples comparison.

I'm going to guess that waits throughout the summer will probably run close to 120 minutes for most of the day, then once summer has passed it will average between 45-60 minutes, similar to Everest. Hopefully though, this will help balance out the park's big attractions, decreasing their wait times just a bit.

So, while it may be a "people eater", as some might say, that doesn't automatically equate to a short wait time. If the demand exceeds the attractions' ability to consume in an adequate time frame, the waits will be longer. That's just simple math.

I'm going to guess...107 minutes!
What do I win if I'm right?
Is it "closest without going over"?

When i got to the park this morning disney already posted 240 minutes with the line already down by storybook circus. When i got by the entrance it drop to 120. But i also look at my watch when i got in line it was 6:20 am, when i got off it excatly 7 am so it took me 40 minutes to ride. As i pass by during the day i saw a low of 45 and a high of 75 minutes as of 9 pm.

You can't tell? Let me clear it up for you: I am not. You are entirely wrong. Peter Pan's Flight has a hourly ride capacity at literally ONE THIRD that of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. So no - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will not have "double Peter Pan's Flight" wait times on an average day.

If they can dispatch once every 60 seconds that would give the ride a max capacity of 1200 per hour, that assumes every seat is filled so probably less in reality. Getting the dispatch down to every 45 seconds would up the capacity to 1600.

Peter Pan's Flight hourly capacity is around 1,100 riders per hour. (Source: http://touringplans.com/magic-kingdom/fastpass)

I believe a few of our respected members including @danlb_2000 had done the math earlier and 7DMT could average 1200 riders per hour (if dispatch is 60 sec) 1600 riders per hour (if dispatch is 45 sec) etc.

This debunks your Peter Pan's Flight is "ONE-THIRD" the hourly capacity of 7DMT theory.

Popularity of the ride is a variable you can't account with statistics yet. You can only predict. I predict it will be popular, especially for the next few months, which means expect long lines.

I've got Peter Pan at 1100-1200 per hour
The reports on day one of mine train had it at around 1440. I suspect that Mine train can get up to 1600-1700.

Tim, be gone with your facts and figures!

What will be interesting to see is if the demand lessens in the evening to late night hours like a lot of rides.
