February 2, 200916 yr comment_43810 Mystery Mine is 1000 rph and is 1750-ish ft with 7 cars whilst SAW is 2300-ish ft with 8 cars. So shouldn't SAW have higher thoroughput than MM?
February 2, 200916 yr comment_43811 Mystery Mine is 1000 rph and is 1750-ish ft with 7 cars whilst SAW is 2300-ish ft with 8 cars. So shouldn't SAW have higher thoroughput than MM?You do realise 2300ft is more than 1750? Which means it takes longer for the cars to go round, so the extra car just evens it out. If anything I think the throughput should be slightly less.
February 2, 200916 yr comment_43842 But that said, Mystery Mine's duration is a lot longer what SAW's is expected to be - It has two lifts, numerous block and trim brakes, and it's slower.Anyone's guess really...
February 3, 200916 yr comment_43845 I'd like to think SAW's RPH is 900-ish, however, I think the average on a summer's day will be somewhere between 800-850.
February 3, 200916 yr comment_43849 I'd like to think SAW's RPH is 900-ish, however, I think the average on a summer's day will be somewhere between 800-850.Well surely in the summer it would be more, since the staff will be working extra hard to try and get more guests round, and if there are no problems with any trains it should be running at maximum capacity? So I'd think it'd be a bit more in the Summer and at FN than any other day.
February 3, 200916 yr comment_43874 More exit riders, more disabled riders, more prats and everything. Throughputs are the worst on extremely busy days.
February 3, 200916 yr comment_43877 There is also the question of how many cars they will actually have on track at once.
February 3, 200916 yr comment_43891 So if there is a delay, cars will be stacking up outside, like Oblivion? How much of the station approach is outside?
February 3, 200916 yr comment_43892 As long as the staff are fast at loading, we shouldn't have a problem.
February 3, 200916 yr comment_43901 Definitely, especially if the throughput does end up roughly 800pph, think spinball, but the only ride people really want to go on. Oh deareos.
February 3, 200916 yr comment_43902 As long as the staff are fast at loading, we shouldn't have a problem.The staff can work as hard as they please, its the guests that create the majority of problems. If there were no guests, rides could run perfectly

If there were no guests, rides could run perfectly If I had to cook all day, I would cook, and cook and cook, yet with customers I get hassled, delays and have to all full time on food when we get something stupid like 5 20 boxes.Seriously, if we closed and cooked for the day we could cook more
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43927 http://projectdylan.co.uk/Construction/128 - Update from today, shows some views of SAW in the snow. It seems the test seat has no seat-belt. I love how you can vaguely see CCR rails re-directed to going under the Immelman Turn.
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43935 Oh my gosh, best update yet aside from the testing video. Massive Immelman TurnThats what she said.
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43937 Wonder if there'll be getting nets under that. Otherise things could easily fall onto the tracks.
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43938 WOW, thats well cool. But are they leaving the queue line fences like that?
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43955 She? someone needs to visit St Catherine's Docks again :)Some weird reason - station and the ride looks nice in the snow.
