There is no way NRJ will have a THRC of 3000. With shorter ride time and smaller boats than IASW.

The 10-20 second loading time is comparable? They were probably factoring in the shorter ride time which affects the total capacity as @wilkeliza noted.

 

[rteetz]

I read the boats were launching faster then IASW though. Also how many boats load and launch at the same time as IASW? It looked like 2 Navi boats load at the same time.

Yes 2 boat load and unload at the same time which WDWThemeparks did factor in.

What is the current ride length on Navi?

 

[rteetz]

What is the current ride length on Navi?

Roughly 5 minutes. 8 person boats. WDWThemeparks averaged 6 people per boat. Some will have 8 some will have probably 4 at times.

Yeah theirs seems reasonable. I just realized ride lenght doesn't actually matter just boat launch time. So if 2 boats launch ever minute with an average of 6 that is 12 people per a minute. 12 times 60 is 720 so to get that 1440 number they would need to be launching a pair of boats every 30 seconds. That seems almost like omnimover times.

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm in the middle of a real life word problem??? I DON'T WANT TO DO MATH AT DISNEY!!!

Is Flight of Passage extreme? Like how does it work, does it lift you like in Soarin? I want to do it with my family the time I get there but I don't know if my mom would like big drops

I like math so I don't mind haha. Even when I'm at restaurants I like to guess what the max occupancy is or at minimum the standard seating.

As noted several times in this thread, it does not lift off like Soarin. It will be more intense though. This similar to Star Tours but different.

 

[wilkeliza]

Yeah @rteetz I think you are right about no way can Navi reach 3,000 an hour. They would need to be launching max capacity boats every 20 seconds to get even close. With max capacity of a boat being 8 and 16 going at a time (8 in each boat), a launch every 20 seconds (so 3 launches every minute) you get 16X60X3=2,880. So now I'm wondering what the average launch time is. 20 seconds just seem super fast but I have to admit I've never clocked launch times for any of the rides.

Really, Ryan needs to set this up at a calc problem because with a shorter ride time less boats go out to keep the outgoing boats in a 5-minute rotation.

And in the end the result will still be: expect an excessively long wait for both Pandora rides!

I've never known so much about attractions that have not open as I do with Pandora attractions, which is why I would like to nominate @rteetz to manage the SWLand thread when it's time

Oh boy, and I was just working on some calc too....

I can't even imagine what that would be like yet. I would be honored to do so though!

I think you two should co-author because you'll both have access to the initial posts.

All areas covered by you two experts!!!

If a Navi River boat launches in Pandora at 9:14 am traveling at 20 meters per minute and at the same time a Small World boat launches from the Magic Kingdom traveling at 35 feet per minutes, where will they crash and at what time?

make me wonder what things would have been like if the internet was around when Disneyland first opened

"sir, I will have to disagree with you - if the Jungle Cruise boats can hold 35 people and an E-ticket cost 25 cents then I do believe this could be the most profitable ride in the amusement park!"

"Yeah, but will people to care to partake in such a venture when it is not based on a Disney Intellectual Property? I continue to believe that people favor something they are much more familiar with - such as the Wind int he Willows based attraction!"

 

[cigar95]

LOL, well I didn't say no one would I just don't think it's like Harry Potter where people book just to see this land. I'm an AP holder as well but having AP holders flock to Pandora probably isn't Disney's main goal, they need new tickets sold.

In the short term, Potter's built-in audience gave opening day/week/month crowds that will likely dwarf what we see in Pandora. But if Pandora gets the really good word of mouth that it looks like it might, if figures to build in popularity, whether crowds are attracted by its IP or not. So guests may book an extra trip because "there's a really cool new land". (It wasn't all the 'Song of the South' nostalgia that drew guests to Disneyland when Splash opened in '89, but that it was a really well-done attraction.)

 

[Strikan]

So I think the queue for FOP looks amazing - almost an attraction itself. The question though is how much of the queue do you miss if you use a Fastpass. I would hate to miss the lab section with all the cool stuff and the Avatar in the tank. Anyone seen an info on how much the Fastness line misses all that?
