Out of curiosity, what was the supposed hourly ride capacity of Mario Kart? Is it better than both SW:GE rides?
Well, at the very least, the RVs will be more accommodating all around so that will speed things up, but it also isn't sharing a showbuilding with another ride, so overheating issues hopefully won't be an issue either.
Not that those are the only things causing issues with FoP, but they are certainly big issues nonetheless.
Yes, that's always the key.
I've not heard or read of any capacity. Maybe someone else has. .....Generally, the new Universal attractions (except for DMMM, which was a simulator theater film redo) have been on the high side, so I would guess it will be decent capacity.
It is how it works. It's just that LM spaces the ride vehicles more, so less capacity. Ratatouille has theoretical 2200, but with its setup, I can't see it getting close to that. With empty seats, and delays, I'd guess 1500.
Falcon could have huge capacity if all 4 pods are running. Battle Escape will hit somewhere under 2000 unless they have multiple groupers working, and single rider, which isn't really a Disney thing.

1,500 PPH seems woefully inadequate for a land that will probably be as popular any anything has been. Combined, they would do around 36,000 guests for a 12 hour day which sounds like a lot until you consider how many people will be there, how the land's capacity will work, and how long the lines will end up being.
Yeah. Plus, like Jungle Skip says, that's providing there's no technical issues slowing capacity (which there probably will be, at least initially). One of the major Disney insiders is privately saying the capacity of the land is significantly under what it needs to be........No GESWL vacation for me until that initial surge dies down. I like Star Wars, but I'm not crazy.
I’d also count Mickey’s capacity, though, since it’ll be less than six months old when the land opens. That will help pull all but the most diehard of fans out of Galaxy’s Edge at some point during the day, and the mere existence of that two and a half hour line will help alleviate some of the stress on the land at any given point.
Welcome to modern day Walt Disney World, not even close to enough rides for the number of people they welcome every day.
This way, most folks will have to go to the Studios 2 days to ride both rides. Which is exactly what Disney wants.
Depends how much can be hidden. Part of FoPs problem is the queue is too large, and hidden.
I’m confused by what you mean. Do you mean that the lines will *look* short, therefore attracting more crowds, or something else?
If people go up to a queue, and see it spilling on to the Midway, many will skip it. Yeah, there's a sign with a number on it, but we all know how fake those numbers can be. TSL proved that just recently.
The queue should be large, but if you build a queue that can hold 3 hours of people, which for Disney's awful FP+ setup, isn't really that many, you can bet you'll have a 3 hour line. Build it for 2 hours, and you most likely won't have an hour line on the Midway.
I also don't understand why Disne, and Universal for Potter, hasn't started adding bathrooms in the queues. They claim how family oriented they are, but clearly have no clue the average size of a 5 year old's bladder. Or a 40 year olds that is drinking enough water not to die in the Florida heat.
FoP has bathrooms, they’re just cleverly themed as backstage hallways.
Right. I don't want to try and predict if I need to seek relief for a two hour timeframe. Plus, if you ask a kid, "Got to go?", the answer is always, "no" and then they have to go in 20 minutes.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. Are there really restrooms? November will be the first time that I go through the full queue.
I think she is referring to the "guests" use of the offshoot hallways as bathrooms. When you gotta go ya gotta go
