Six Flags Over Texas and Disneyland - Ride Capacities

I always here the fact that a place like Disneyland has 85 acres, but a park like Six Flags Over Texas is so bigger with 212 acres. Of course, you think automatically that Six Flags Over Texas, you will walk tons more than Disneyland because of that fact. Are you sure about that? I find the walking at both parks pretty substantial. Why is that if one park has so many acres than the other. I just want to say that Six Flags Over Texas could have some land that is not used yet, and that contribute ot the high acres also, but that's not the point I want to make.

Disneyland seemed somewhat crowded when I was there, but it wasn't that bad. Six Flags Over Texas felt the same way, but rides weren't hour lines at either park. So, this is what I think. Disneyland has a lot of smaller attractions that can fit in tiny buildings. On the other hand, you have gigantic roller coasters at Six Flags Over Texas that take up huge space.

They usually don't have the lines of the roller coasters under the rides because you never know what the riders might throw from the rides. Disneyland doesn't have that many roller coasters compared to Six Flags also. They also run many more trains for the roller coasters than Six Flags. However, Disneyland bigger roller coasters are just Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and the Matterhorn. Disneyland has an Alice in Wonderland ride which is a smaller space, and gets a remarkable 800 guests per hour. What Batman the Ride at Great America is 990 which is only 190 off from a smaller dark ride at Disneyland. That is a wow thing to me.

It's a Small World at Disneyland gets an outstanding 3200 capacity. Nothing gets that at Great America. Nothing is even close to that. Is Small World really that huge? I don't think it is that big. Six Flags Over Texas has a lot lower capacity rides in Tony Hawk spinning coaster, Flashback boomerang coaster, Runaway Mountain, Mini Mine train, the other kiddie coaster, Mr. Freeze, and some other non-roller coaster rides. They still take up quite a big space for the capacities they get.

I kind of believe that more than ever that you need these trains as big as possible, and get enough of them. Who cares if they trim an unimportant parts of these rides (Don't trim rides before an airtime hill, but after.) just so they can fit more trains, and more passengers on these rides. You get this huge ride, and you just don't have enough trains, or capacity for these rides. Mr. Freeze is a real awesome ride, but it only launches 20 people out at a time, and it has one train. It has two trains, but it's more like one loads when the other one goes, and so on.

Wouldn't it have be been better to make it have at least 32 people instead even though you would have to add more LIMs? Maybe, even make it 20 feet smaller to lessen the speed, but the point is that the capacity is that much higher.
