Also doesn’t help that SLOP is one of the slowest loading rides in the park

A freaking OMNIMOVER is low capacity? Really?

Shame, they did such a great job on this ride.

I've thought about this a bit. I think it's slow loading for a few reasons.

1. The cars are spaced relatively far apart. I believe this is mostly because they are very open (unlike the large shell that's on Haunted Mansion and Mermaid), and not feel crowded or have other people in your line of vision. I realize Buzz has cars much closer together, but people are so busy playing the game, I think it's less of an issue.
2. Since they only specifically only fit one or two people, a lot of large groups and families are suddenly faced with the decision of who gets to ride with who. I've seen many empty cars pass by as groups discussed this right at the load. You'd think the fact that they can plainly see the cars only seat two before they get to load would make them think about that a bit more, but no.
3. The queue is super engaging... maybe a bit too engaging. People are so caught up interacting with the queue, it also slows down the line.

and...as contrasted with the original trackless idea concept that Universal estimated at max 1,980 capacity per hour. ...But, thematically Universal did do a nice job with the omnimover version.
...except for the capacity issue.

Yeah, it's a nice apartment, but I wouldn't want to live in it.

Why would you? Random people keep barging in and trying to touch your stuff.

That's what happens anyway anytime I try to throw a party.

I wonder if the capacity issue was the ultimate nail in the coffin for a possible Orlando edition of this ride.

My guess has been that lack of strong merchandise sales at Orlando, which they pushed hard after the first movie, had a lot to do with it. Even the first trackless concept drawings/computer generated run
were originally just listed for Hollywood (where Nintendo is now), and not Orlando....and no Yoshii in Hollywood may have a bit to do with the present SLOP, since it's a somewhat similar system.

 

[belloq87]

I have to believe there would be a way to increase capacity for a hypothetical second version of this ride.

Or just copy and paste to save money.

I would take it.

They are rumors that down the line the new DreamWorks retheme of Kidzone will have an expansion with an Omnimover system like pets.

Possibly after this KZ present refurb, but with a different IP. Pets seems like it's a really nice attraction, turned out as good as the original concept, but, unfortunately,
it's merch just doesn't sell well at Orlando, even though they featured it heavily in UO stores after the first film.

I also believe SLoP has had poor GSATs? Not sure though, maybe they improved

I heard it had some to do with merch sales on the Orlando end and them not wanting it

It's a good attraction though, and Studios needs something like that

No the Minion conveyor belt is not the answer

I'm just wondering if anyone has an image of the ride layout? I'm really curious as to how the layout for this ride works.

I have never seen a scene by scene layout but posted the below earlier in the thread:

Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash - General Discussion

Has anyone confirmed if this is the exact track layout they used for the Yoshi ride in tokyo? A side by side video comparison would help? The only similarity is the ride manufacture. They are totally different layouts and SLOP has rotating vehicles where as Yoshi does not. I think the layout...

I'm going to start an annual push for a Secret Life of Pets: Holiday Overlay

Things I'd love to see

Characters in costumes (in the first room. New York room and finale room, Party room)
Decorations in the Q and on the Buildings of the first room (the new york room)
Some Holiday inspired music or SLOP music with some holiday flair throw in both the Q and some scenes in the ride
Snow falling in the finale room (it's a screen, so shouldn't cost much to do) along with Holiday decorations and a decorated Tree in the finale room.

I think the ride would go down for maybe a day or two at max because only two rooms really have the potential for change and maybe if it would not cost too much add cute outfits/hats to "you" when you see your self as a dog.
