station timing

here's something i thought i should share. i was in disney world recently and in the line for space mountain, i thought the trains ran through the station rather fast. now, on here a few times i can remember seeing rides rated down for having too short loading and unloading times. space mountain's trains spent a total of TEN SECONDS from stopping for passengers to get in, to moving to the next block with passengers in with saftey bars down. it also took 10 seconds for the train to unload passengers. so next time you think a ride is unrealistic for having too short of a wait time at the station, think again.

Though that is true that departure intervals can be quite quick, you have to remember that B&M trains with 4 across seating will obviously take mosre time to dispatch, stnadups will be even longer and the dreaded Vekoma 4 across seating would be even longer..though I doubt anyone would make the departure time for those trains realistic.

oh yes, this is true... but my point was that with small trains, the departure time can be much much shorter than i first thought.

on mousies you even have timing of 5-10 sec. Get out, get in, check restraint, and gone! Only 4 seats to fill. and then still you see people use about 40-50 sec for a mousie, lol. I should say: compaire your type with a real coaster for that type. So you can make a nice guess on timing. IMO for most types is 30-60 sec ok...
But it's not always the wait timing that is docked off but other people can also have to wait in a line of trains before you can get out. That can be mainly solved by removing alot of trains... Or simply with an unload station.
