All will be clear soon as I fill in the gaps :thumbs:

I feel like an AA is possible. I'm not buying the jumping on the vehicle part.

Didn't believe it for Mummy, don't believe it here.

It's exactly like the "Yeti will pick up your train!" or "The mummy warriors will jump on your car!" rumors from back in the day.

UC has tons of money to invest in, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

Money doesn't make things possible or reliable. I could see them looking into it, but developing it and making it reliable are two different things. Imhotep went from fluid to clunky in the span of a few years. I can't imagine how long it would take that to go wrong.

Let alone developing it to be safe and reliable for installation sometime in the next two years. Putting an advanced AA that close to a moving ride vehicle is very risky besides being complex.

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Just remember the vehicles will be testing a whole year before the ride even opens, so they'll have plenty of time to play around with the AA.

 

[jubs]

does anyone have more information about the design or capabilities of the ride vehicles? what kind of tech are we gonna see?

All we know is it'll be a mix of Mummy and Spiderman and seat 16 guests.

 

[Skipper Justin]

The Gringotts building is huge and it is very interesting to compare to other buildings around it. The ride is definitely going to be impressive. Also, just an fyi but a bunch of Jaws Skippers are meeting at Bruce today at various times to mark the January 2nd occasion.

 

[ReelJustice]

The Gov. Scott AA is rumored to actually jump onto the ride vehicle.

Via Kuka Arm I suppose.

 

[Disneyhead]

Via Kuka Arm I suppose.

I have since heard that that may be a false trail.

From what I've seen, there's going to be two 12 passenger units linked together to form a train.

Correct

Hm. Interesting.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Dual loading stations right? So theoretically should it allow for twice as many people per hour compared to what Mummy does based on if they have similar dispatch times?

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

How often would a train depart? If a train departs every 30 seconds, that would lead to 48 guests a minute, leading to 2,880 RPH.

Yep, duel loading

Yes dual load but no separate unload and load area, think Hulk not RoTM or DC. We load from the interior island and exit outwards.

So basically like MiB, except a roller coaster.

Yeah, pretty much. except you will unload at the same spot.
