    That is actually an edit. It can be on all one of those three elements at a time. I would suggest looking at actual testing footage.

    So more trains does not equate to “eating more people”. Having one train that loads every 100 seconds eats the same amount of people as 2 trains loading every 100 seconds. Faster load times would equate to eating more people. If they had the train unload at one location and load at another, for example, that could reduce load and release time and eat more people.

    This website is full of so much crap

    If you’re loading more trains in the same amount of time, of course it will increase throughput.. 2 trains in 100 seconds of course “eats more” than just one train.

  5. This is easy. How many block zones are there? That will tell you the technical limitation on concurrent trains running. Does anyone know how many block zones there are? Would be pretty easy to tell from overhead photography of the track before the show buildings went up.

      I think there’s 5 block zones: the station, the first launch, the second launch, and I’m pretty sure there’s 2 sets of brakes.
