Disappointed that no 4d's annouced for 04?

...I'd imagine that it's continuous loading like you see on many Mice.

Ah I see. Also found on Hershey's Wild Mouse. Thanks for the info, I'm surprised I didn't think about that. :)

I had no idea Mice were loaded like that. Well, duh, since I've never been on one :)

You think I was making that up? Why would I? Some togo coasters have conveyor belt boarding, as do some mice. What's so hazardous about boarding a train moving 1/2 mph when you are as well?

Who knows if they will actually do it, but Arrow showed at the last Iaapa (and in First Drop), that they wanted to do small trains with a continuous load unlike the miserable boarding process for X.

I wasn't accusing you of making anything up, sorry for the confusion. It's just sometimes sarcasm goes through here unnoticed... ;) Sorry again if I upset you, I meant no harm. :)

No, no...I'm not talking about you. Read the top of this page :)

Wait. . .sarcasm goes unnoticed here? Oh man, and here I am assuming it's all sarcasm unless someone proves otherwise.

I guess from now on, sarcastic posts must come with a disclaimer...

Funny they would choose characteristics of a ride with the slowest moving queues to help fix loading on another. Not sure of the actual capacities of mice, but seems to be horrible every time I wait for them.

Well that's because mice seat 4 at a time. Not to say that 12 at a time is much better, but...

If they want to increase capacity, why don't they double block (ala TTD) and add a dropping floor instead of the tip back (or do whatever they need to do to only have 1 restraint check).

The only day I rode X, it was running two trains and the first was consistantly beating the unload of the second. Maybe I hit it on a good (great?) day, but the line wasn't more than 20 minutes, and I was pretty happy with the capacity. If they could actually keep all the trains in service, a double station (I guess that would be a quad station) might work, but would probably be prohibitively expensive.

I just think it's a shame to shorten the train because I thought the only mind blowing part of the ride was the first drop and the second raven in the back row (from the dragging down while facing straight down). A shorter train will definitely negate any dragging effect.
