Haha thanks for the link. I need my talking skull to have the full on pirate hat like in the Disneyland version. Is the skull with the bandana from the WDW version?

I think their's has a hat too? Probably just merchandise choice.

The one with the bandana bugs me. I think it’s the one they use for the movie promotions.

I think so too. Thanks a lot Johnny Depp.

Anyway not sure why they don’t show some of the non IP characters more love when it comes to merch. I would like to see some higher end stuff for the talking skull, the sitting / squirting elephant from the JC and the abominable snowman.

There is actually a pretty big capacity discrepancy between Rat and Mystic Manor. Rat is >2k in real world execution and Mystic Manor in the lower teens. Rat boats discrete seats, duo loading platforms and duplicated show scenes.

All of which is to say I really don't know what the Battle Escape ride will end up being. But I think @marni1971 's stance has been mid to low teens. Unless there is loading platform duplication, show scene duplication or more than 2 vehicles dispatched, I'd expect the ride capacity to come out on the Mystic Manor side of things.

Which, reliably at least... is slightly better than original Soarin'/TSMM/Flight of Passage/SDMT. But unfortunately, just slightly.

I tend to agree. I would be shocked if they don't somehow dispatch more than one vehicle at a time and have either duplicated show rooms or even alternative paths of travel based on ride variability. Low to mid teens is probably not the ROI Imagineering has promised Chapek, Iger and the Disney Board for this huge investment. I hope they have a strategy to boost those numbers into the high teens or even over 2k.

Just want to make sure I’m following... “teens” in this case would be like 1700/ 1800 riders per hour right?

Yes. As in thirteen hundred, fourteen hundred, etc...

Making Captain Rex a DJ is a complete betrayal of his character.

Because the thought of a droid being re-programmed is just reprehensible.

Thanks. So what E ticket would that currently compare to? I wonder, what is Indy’s capacity? I have never heard anyone refer to it as a people eater but I imagine it has decent capacity as the average wait time is only 45-60 minutes despite how popular it still is.

The thing is, he had his original programming for for 20 years and still never got used to it. His DJing skills will likely be horrific.

From what I heard Indy is in 2200-2400 range. If this list for WDW is accurate it probably would be close to Big Thunder.

Oh wow, if that’s true that’s really good capacity right? Like Pirates good. I wonder why I never hear anyone mention Indy when the subject of good capacity comes up. I guess I was kind of hoping Indy was in the 1500 per hour range and that it was comparable to the Battle Escape capacity.

Your link puts Dinosaur (identical ride track to Indy) at an Operational Hourly Ride Capacity (OHRC) of 2160. I'm not familiar with those numbers, but I know that Indy jeeps hold less than Pirates bateaux. The link puts both Pirates OHRC and Mansion OHRC at 2880. My information from DL CMs is Mansion is more in the range of 1700-1800. At WDW, Little Mermaid, Nemo, Spaceship Earth, and Imagination range from 1980-2160.

Again, I'll be surprised if Imagineering hasn't planned Battle Escape/Alcatraz to meet the higher numbers around 2k rather than the low teens. This is supposed to be the new Giant Killer in the industry.

The berm separating SW:GE from the rest of the park is clearly defined now.

Now if they just put a train track and river on that other side of the berm....

bit partial to overheads, but she's bringing tunes...
both certainly providing excellent coverage in their respective ways, no doubt
