Capacity?

Featured Replies

If Pki really cared about Capacity then why the hell would they only run 1 train on Face/off and Reptar????Im being serious? Pki is dumb for doing this!

Seriously though I think Face/Off is a good ride but not a good fit for the park because capacity reasons. IJST will suck at capacity enjoy waiting in line for 4 or 5 hours!

IJST will have mediocre capacity. Not great, but not terrible. Yes, don't plan on riding it too much when it first opens. But as time marches on, it will die down.

How would they be able to operate with two trains on Face/Off? Reptar I could see an other train but Face/Off?

Does PKI care about capacity? Yes, they do.

Will they actually do anything to improve capacity? No.

I think I've heard everything now

Two trains on Face/off is possible but would require the park to spend alot of extra money for the parts and also the ride reliablty would go way down. I say 1 hour isnt that long of a wait.

One, I don't think that Reptar is long enough to add another train and the idea of a second train on Face/Off would not be cost effective nor very plausible. Where do you get your hair-brained ideas?

Italian Job's lines will only be that long in the opening year and it's pretty typical for a new coaster to have waits that are 4-5 hrs. Did someone have a big bowl of ****y o's for breakfast?

No, two trains on Face Off is impossible. Unless they built another identical coaster next to Face Off.

Actually....having two trains on Face Off could be possibly....however the park would have to do some major re-design of the station. See, you would need to have a dual loading station with a sliding transfer track that would move the two cars into place, much like we first saw with the Mr. Freeze coaster at Six Flags St. Louis

Mr. Freeze transfer track

Transfer station

Yes that is what I was refering to in my earlier post. You also have to realize this will only add about 40% more capcity not 50 cause it will only cut loading times. Also they would need staff on both sides of the track it will also lower rebiltiy. Lines for Face/off arent too terribaly that bad anyway.

Would you rather have a Deja Vu? smile.gif

I'm sure that they care about capacity, but one could make the arguement that they don't seem to want to up their ride count any. They add IJ, but remove the Eagles. Same with TR/Kentons Cove, and KC/Delirium. Our park capacity is probably no better than it was in 2001, even with all of the new additions.

That would be a Great concept for Inverted Boomerangs..... cool.gif

Runaway Reptar could have been designed to handle another train but it is such a short ride it would not make much difference. Besides that unless you have a kid why would you stand in line to ride it? As far as face off goes that is they type of coaster it is. If you want a comparison, look at Wicked Twister. It only has one train.

if you're not joking then you're one of the dumber guests ive ever met...and ive met a lot of f***ing dumb guests.

You get used to Snapper. It just takes time.

True, it could easily run two trains. Just add a block brake to the brake run just outside the station, to hold the train until the one ahead of it left the station. Then, bring it in and unload/reload.

Reptar would mostly need a positive anti-rollback mechanism for the lift.
