X capacity

does anyone know what the capacity for this ride will be? From the pics it looks like only room enough for 14 on each train. Could be a problem.

1,600 people per hour

Well I hope that X will be running 3 trains at all times.

They hold 28 people. 4 per car with 7 cars. Hopefully they will 3 trains for at least the first year of operation.

I believe it's 28, 7 cars of 4, 2 people each side of track.

Well, 28 per train is pretty good. The restraints, although totally new designs, do not look all that difficult to get into/out of. If the rumors of seperate laod/unload stations is true, then this thing should really crank people through. Especially considering that the train really flys through the (somewhat short) course! (although 3,600' is hardly "short" for a looper)

"X" marks the spot in 2001!

The restraints are easy to deal with. I sat in one at IAAPA last fall. They're actually a lot more comfortable than I expected.

The ride is fairly short and having unload and load stations I think they'll be able to crank people through provided they have adequate people on the platform.

They're actually not uncomfortable.. the padding, however, is a bit too hard around the head.

The excitement that builds up while you wait in line; the thumping in your chest as you take a seat and depart the station; the terror as you travel up the lift backwards. All that my friend, is part of the ride.
