There are always 6 vehicles on the Load and Unload belt in all the schematics of the Mansion's and Little Mermaid I can find online. Mansion at Disneyland has 131 total vehicles, but 17 of them travel backstage, which gets you 114 vehicles providing a roughly 6:45 minute long ride. Mansion at WDW has 160 total vehicles, and 14 of them travel backstage, which gets you 146 vehicles providing a roughly 7:45 minute long ride. Little Mermaid has 107 total vehicles, and only 3 of them travel backstage, which gets you a total length of 104 vehicles providing a trip time. And what is that trip time? People are saying anywhere between 3:30 minutes and 6:00 minutes. Judging by the statistics we have here, I'm betting the trip time for Mermaid is somewhere between 5:30 and 6:00 minutes. I said this elsewhere, but just based on the number of vehicles and size of the building, if this is a 4:00 minute long ride they are going to have to get the queue jogging at a decent clip before they hit the fast moving Load belt. Run Grandma, we're goin' on the Mermaid ride! << I feel like I should get three credited hours in Calculus after reading that.

It was like Martian to me ...

You are just not cut out for such things. You hit them over the head while the bottle is still intact. It breaks. Then you use the jagged edge to carve their face into a reproduction of the Frankenstein Monster!

I've used up my geek skills just doing that, so there's no way I could do math with feet per second calculations. Someone else will need to do the real math on this stuff.
