Disneyland's newest Star Wars ride has a higher capacity than you might think, perhaps on par with older favorites such as Space Mountain.
By comparison, the Matterhorn Bobsled ride and Space Mountain at Disneyland each serves about 1,500 visitors an hour, while the Jungle Cruise attraction serves fewer than 1,000 people an hour, according to Touring Plans, which has also counted riders exiting these and a handful of other rides.
But theme park operators don’t want to operate only high-capacity rides. Theme parks want to offer a variety of rides — including thrill rides such as roller coasters and kiddie rides such as carousels and bumper cars — to attract adults, teens and younger children. Being at Disneyland at opening for Rise Of The Resistance and hearing everyone cheering about getting boarding groups is like witnessing the rapture.Theme park operators also try to arrange the location of the rides so that popular attractions with long queues are not adjacent to one another, creating congestion and crowding.Rise of the Resistance may offer a relatively high daily capacity because the attraction uses multiple ride vehicles, as many as 15, each carrying eight passengers.
“The more aggressive you get with leading-edge technology, then you are likely to get hiccups,” Coan said.
