YES!
That's what I've been trying to say! If more people ride it, then odds are it's more popular!
How about this: If ridership doesn't make a ride more popular, then what does?
I dont want to come off as mean but ridership has little to do with it...
acorrding to the website:
FH can work with 800 riders per hour...
AE has 1600 riders per hour...
Avg wait for AE... Walk on
Avg wait for FH... 30+ minutes (someone correct me on this if im wrong i never ride it due to the wait is never worth the ride)
Ridership does more with the ride itself and the workers who run it, not the public
