Will Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 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...

Mark9 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 700 average, 850 max. That's my bet and I'm sticking to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxharvey Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Mystery Mine duration = 2:30 7 carsSaw duration = 1:40 8 cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd think it'd be a bit more in the Summer and at FN than any other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 More exit riders, more disabled riders, more prats and everything. Throughputs are the worst on extremely busy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meme5053 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 There is also the question of how many cars they will actually have on track at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 8 in peak, then probably down to 4 or 3 on dead days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 So if there is a delay, cars will be stacking up outside, like Oblivion? How much of the station approach is outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 As long as the staff are fast at loading, we shouldn't have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 My prediction - fu,ck off long queues regardless of throughput. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Definitely, especially if the throughput does end up roughly 800pph, think spinball, but the only ride people really want to go on. Oh deareos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyciodes Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wonder if there'll be getting nets under that. Otherise things could easily fall onto the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_funderstood Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 WOW, thats well cool. But are they leaving the queue line fences like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 She? someone needs to visit St Catherine's Docks again :)Some weird reason - station and the ride looks nice in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
