Riders per hour

What is Mavericks riders per hour?

My friend at school today told me the line marker said about 2 hours, but he was on the ride after only 1 hour 15 minutes.

That's about right. The crew is doing a great job keeping things moving.

When we first got there yesterday, we were told 2.5 hours for our first ride, which wound up running around 1:45. Jen and I were in the park, on Maverick twice, and had a pretty long meal at Chick-Fil-A with some of the guys from here, and were still out in just over 4 hours.

Not too shabby for a ride's 3rd day of operation, no?

Yeah... both times we waited with a full queue we waited 1.5 hours. From the full Queue House it is about 35 minutes or so.

Yes i rode Maverick 4 times yesterday and every time it said 2 hours and every time it ended up about a 1:15 wait.. ( except for in the morning the line was a little longer). *** Edited 5/29/2007 8:52:24 PM UTC by Jerreus***

So about how many people per hour would you say?

I'd guess they're around 1000pph.

RCDB claims....

Capacity: 1200 riders per hour

....but that's in perfect conditions.

I would say yesterday they were loading 2 trains every 2 minutes or so...

So that calculates out to:
24 x 30 = 720 riders per hour

That makes sense to me because they handed out shirts until about 1:30 yesterday.

720 x 4.5 = 3240

And they had a bit of downtime for train transfers that cut down that number some.
