I think this is the likely set up to keep the illusion and to maximize capacity. They do holds at each of the "P"s of groups of 6. They can add more as long as the next area isn't visible from the previous one. As long as the one before you has cleared the area before you move, they can keep an illusion that the group ahead of you is somewhere else. Once you go up the ramp, you'll never see anyone but CM's. You'll get a short wait at each spot to check things out and probably get instructions. I couldn't remember if there were 8 or 6 pods on each setup, but that, and ride time will affect how long you hold at each spot.
Pretty much what I was suggesting for the premium version for hotel guests. But as soon as CMs are standing throughout the Millennium Falcon, all illusion is destroyed. And pulsing people like that would destroy throughput. Everyone would want to do photo ops, stare around like a doofus, or stand around and say "This is why Disney is so much better than Universal, they don't rely on screens".
Assuming the fairly standard now 4 to 4.5 minute ride, if there are 6 pods in action, that's about 45 seconds, which is in line with my 400 people per pod per hour estimate.
I just think the expectation on this land are so out of whack. I sure hope they are all met, and Bounty Hunters follow me into the bathroom for shooting their friend's ship, and I see no one oustide my group while walking through the Falcon, and Battle Escape has Splash Mountain levels of animatronics, finally dethroning Spider-man. I really do. I just have my doubts. Disney can aim pretty low and still get 3 hour long waits. Hell, they can simply put in Soarin 3.0 with an extremely high resolution film and get people saying it's the greatest ride ever, and have 90 minutes wait for a very simple water ride with one animatron. If this land DOES meet the expectations, the crowds are going to be Harry Potter opening day for a year once the word gets out.
But even the whole "Fly the Millennium Falcon" hype can't be true. Well, it can be for one out of every 3 people. The Pilot's controls can go "horribly wrong" half way in, so the co-pilot takes over.
For the other 66% of the riders, this most certainly will NOT be "Fly the Millennium Falcon".
Maybe Disney will charge $30 extra for a Pilot FP for the ride.
