(Please pardon me for starting a new thread on this. The other one is now 10 pages long- and my question is more specific)
Now that Stitch is in "test" mode, what time of day are the previews happening?
I remember during the first few days of Mission:Space testing, guests were allowed to ride sporatically from about 4pm till closing.
Of course, Mission:Space DESPARATELY NEEDED all that guest "testing". First of all, cast members had an EXTREMELY complex boarding procedure to choreograph--- a procedure that had never been attempted before. (Think about the complexity of organizing the "teams", and then quickly positioning the teams around the pre-show circle, and then rapidly ushering the new passengers into the bizzare vehicles while at the same time leading the exiting passengers out of the chamber.) On those first few days, it took FOREVER to proceed through the 2 pre-show rooms, and then you sat idle in the vehicles for another eternity before the ride actually began running.
Also, Mission:Space needed the testing to collect guest feedback. Over those first few days, the headrests were re-designed to limit motion sickness, the capsule motion was adjusted to better match the video, and more warning signs were put up.
On Stitch, however, I don't see the need for such extensive "testing". I would assume the attractions loads in much the same way as Alien Encounter did. Plus, I assume the attraction is on a such an automated schedule, the only thing cast members must do it hit the "go" button when everyone has cleared the doorways.
