I don’t think there’s much malicious in designing the new rides, just WDI is more interested in other things than capacity.

I hope it boards like an omnimover so you just hop in a sidecar and you have no idea if you're in the front or the back of the train. That'll make this line move quicker than Forbidden Journey assuming we're running with flawless operation and no tech difficulties which we all know are coming.

I dont think that'll happen simply because you're gonna have people by the boatloads asking for front row. The spike alone is gonna make people in the know want front row.
Yeah, typically I dont mind on coasters, but seeing how the spike works and seeing the back few rows barely go vertical, ill be hoping/aiming for the front 2 or 3 rows.
Also, families who want to ride together would likely be disappointed if they found out as they were leaving the station that they are all not on the same train.

Suggesting we ditch “omnimover” like loading in substitution for a much more apt example: Peoplemover type loading.
Yup. It works perfectly with RRR and they have the experience to make it work flawlessly.
IF they really are running all twelve trains simultaneously this will have monster capacity (assuming it's reliable).

And now after the waffling and painting we have a two-toned entrance design. So, they kinda have to paint it some more me thinks. This is costing me sleep at night!

I wouldn't worry about it being like that for too long.
Even if its audio, try to get us some vid bud.

I think I counted 4 trains running the course at the same time, not 100% sure though
I'll be there late Thursday...It will be cool to see the progress from my December trip. They've come a long way in 6 months.....and....ground view is a whole lot different than those aerials Bio has spoiled us with. You can't see every little thing when you're not above in the air.

I just noticed that emoji in the front has a buttcrack.
Not sure if I love or hate human beings more now.

I took about 30 seconds to try and figure out how that pic fit into islands of adventure. Plot twist!
Photo dump time!
