News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[ToTBellHop]

Well lightning can still travel under a canopy, you need to be completely enclosed to be protected from lightning.

If that was a serious concern, they wouldn’t allow guests out of enclosed buildings during storms.

If you’re outside on the midway that’s on you, if you are on a ride and get struck, Disney is liable. Not to mention, if the coaster gets struck while on it will fry a lot of expensive electronics.

Has anyone been to Shanghai DL during a t-storm? They do have storms there. Curious if it closes.

It rained nearly the whole time we were there. Don't remember lightening, but rode for sure in the rain. The canopy is massive and we were perfectly dry under it.

At MK it needs to be 2500+.

Is there a single MK attraction that's actually hitting that number? Maybe TTA?

I believe HM, IASW, PeopleMover, POTC. Under the Sea and Space about 2000.

Some of those seem high, but it’s admittedly hard to get these numbers without stalking the exit for weeks. Splash 2300? Feels like 1200. And that Speedway number makes me chuckle (not at you, at the number). PPF 1900?

They're definitely all theoretical max. Most of them I tried to watch videos of them to get their dispatch rate.

I figured it was something like that.

The take-home is: TRON will be extremely popular. It shouldn’t have the 13th lowest capacity in the park (out of 29).

Carousel and Small World are are large people eaters because of what they were designed for - the NY World's Fair, which drew significantly more than Disney does. Pirates added more rows to increase capacity, but by the luck of the design (using Small World's flume system) made it possible. I don't think Big Thunder, Spash does anywhere near what was posted.

You just need to find the average load time for a ride. If 6 people leave the loading station every 20 seconds (A full ride vehicle at max efficiency) then it will take 1,080 people an hr. This of course doesn't include down time and slow load times.

 

[T.Will]

During my College Program, I recall a Splash Cast Member complaining to me how they have a 15 second launch time. So Splash's theoretical is 1920. I worked at Seven Dwarfs, and I recall the launch time being something like 46 seconds. I don't remember the exact number, but I'm sure it was definitely in the 40s. But if it is 46 seconds, then 7D has a theoretical of 1565.

isnt that dependent on the number of logs used?

 

[Touchdown]

Splash has had issues lately, every time I rode last week my log would get held up multiple times by a log jam starting just before the roller coaster drop or right after it. Hopefully the refurb fixes some of those issues.

Dispatch interval and load rate. If you just add more logs, they stack throughout the ride, which is obnoxious for the guest.

Refurb won’t fix that. That’s an issue with operations not maintenance or upkeep.

With the latest photos... I am still not seeing how the railroad goes between those outside track supports to meet up with the line going into Space Mountain.
