I’m sure this isn’t totally comprehensive, but one guidebook I’ve read classifies Disney’s theme park rides into three basic categories. Cycle rides are those that start and stop all at once. Think of rides like Dumbo the Flying Elephant at Disneyland: On cycle rides, the entire attraction starts up, runs through its ride time, then comes to a stop. kiddies amusement rides for sale Guests then disembark, more guests embark, and the cycle continues. From an operations standpoint, the problem here is that it’s slow! It takes time for Cast Members to circle the attraction and make sure that everyone is safely strapped in, and there’s no real way to improve guest throughput. (Barring, of course, building a second spinner like they did at Walt Disney World!) The second category is continuous loaders. These would include the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland and Walt Disney World: As long as the attraction is operating, the Doom Buggies are moving. Guests step onto the moving walkway and then into their conveyance. They experience the attraction, then step out onto another moving walkway and their Doom Buggy returns to carry more guests. Of course, even this method isn’t perfect: if guests have any trouble loading or unloading, the attraction may have to stop. I was once held for about 10 minutes in the attic near the bride… The third category is interval dispatch, and this is by far the most popular. From Splash Mountain to Space Mountain and for many attractions in between, this is how Disney tries to operate. And it’s easy to see why! Cast Members can load guests into one vehicle while numerous others are moving through the attraction, thus increasing efficiency. The two rockets you see here are probably two of twelve or so operating at the moment. The rest are moving through the attraction. Interval dispatch allows Cast Members to maintain a fairly continuous flow of guests through the attraction - at Space Mountain, I think they can send out a new rocket every 30 seconds or so - without the added complication of a constantly moving vehicle. Theme park designers are always looking for new ways to fit more people into their attractions, but it’s a tremendous logistical challenge. Not to mention that artistically, it’s difficult to build an attraction that’ll be a good experience for large groups! Keep an eye on Disney, Universal, Cedar Fair, and the others for new ways to do that: there’s big money in keeping their guests happy.
