Message: <blockquote data-quote="Figment2005" data-source="post: 9499404" data-attributes="member: 27890">I haven't posted in a while, but from what I seeing in this thread there are a few perception vs actuality assumptions going on. As a person who has seen the parks consistently every day over the last 8 years I can say with absolute confidence the parks are still not at 25% capacity. It looks busy because the space available has been reduced along side the reduction in guests allowed in the parks. These long lines that folks are seeing sprawling throughout the paths are simply because of the 6 foot spacing and reduction in ride capacity. With the amount of people currently in the park there would be absolutely no wait for anything if capacity of the attractions or queues wasn't reduced. Let's look at the transportation options for arriving and departing the Magic Kingdom. The ferries which at full capacity hold 600 people and the monorails that hold almost 400 could empty a normal park in about an hour and a half with the support of busses for resorts etc. However now the capacity of a fully loaded boat is around 150 guests and a monorail around 100. This means it still takes around the same amount of time to empty a park even though the guest count is much reduced. The attendance has been quite consistent over the past 2 months. So I do ask everyone to please not make any assumptions on how busy the parks are simply by seeing the lines, but look at the full picture of why the lines are the way they are. I'm honestly pretty sure that the parks, specifically the Magic Kingdom, are still not hitting that 25% maximum capacity.</blockquote>
