What is the themed bus marked Camp LKO parked next to KC mean? There is a base camp at Everest called Camp Lucknow and abbreviated to LKO. It is a themed rusty bag of bolts and and very run down.
Once the "Seven Minute Ride time" Universal originally claimed was deemed false, the capacity picture got much better. They seemed to be hitting 7 minute cycle time regularly yesterday, which comes out to about 1400 people per side per hour. Not great, but better than the 1000 or so we could have expected with a seven minute ride time.
I don't recall anyone from Uni claiming the ride portion was 7 minutes. The entire cycle (including load/unload) is about 7 min.
Ok, time for me to exit this thread until I visit. Getting a little too spoiler-y for my tastes.
It's 3:20 from station to station. With a 1 and a half minutes to unload/load this should be quick 5 mins turn around when they get it just right! 168 total per train.
Someone really ought to make a HE thread...
Seth Kubersky timed it and agrees with your time. Another poster was basing a shorter time on seeing it from the employee lot from one station to the next. They evidently are not taking into factor the time moving within the train station, therefore coming up with a time shorter than the actual.Weird. I timed both directions and they were both 4:05, from the moment the train starts moving to the moment it stops.
It just hit me that there is no "engineer" running this train. I haven't seen a picture yet of the empty engineer's cabin.
I was struck by that last night when we rode and watched it pull into the station. Surprised they don't have a costumed person up there for show, but I guess it's run by "magic"?
