Sound about right? It's still obviously not that great, but I wonder....

Having the prelift dark ride portion will allow more cars, but capacity will still be 700 people per hour. The german fairs are the best! They have a travelling 5 loops coaster that runs 5 28 passengers trains! Due to the 14!!! ride operators checking restraints and the very efficient brake areas configuration they can pull an impressive 3000 guests per hours!
