Horizons was a people eater...as was the original World Of Motion.... they were designed to be crowd eaters and they were both lengthy attractions.... Not a 75 minute wait for a 2 minute attraction.... Pirates in Shanghai boats hold 30 guests each....and can handle 3000 guests per hour....I would love to see more omnimover attractions added to EPCOT....and all the parks...Wait, so your idea of a need for the park, to make it fun, and want as an expenditure of WDW's resources, are rides that are so unpopular that no one wants to go on them, thus meaning there is never a line/wait???? That's your idea of what the park needs?
I mean there are only 3 ways to get a ride with almost no wait time. 1 is that the ride is so overbuilt from a loading/capacity standpoint, that even if it is super popular, and everyone wants to ride it, and is rushing to do so at the most popular times, that the ride itself is set up to handle that flow put, and just cranks people in and out. That also means your designing it for maximum usage all all times, which seems expensive, a pretty difficult design criteria, and arguably putting the focus on throughput over the ride itself. The second, would be to artificially limit the number of people who can ride the ride at any given time a thereby limiting your que numbers and allowing the line to move "quicker." This is done through LL or virtual que return times...which you seem to not want. Then there is the third option, a ride that is just not appealing to the majority of guests, such that you have a natural vs artificial limitation to the number of people in line...because people just don't want to go on the ride.
