Why not just have all the boats going at all times (assuming there is a line)?
average Magic Kingdom visitor has had time for only nine rides - out of more than 40 ... In the last few months, however, the operations center has managed to make enough nips and tucks to lift that average to 10.
Maybe it's just me but raising that average by only 1 ride doesn't seem like a very significant improvement for all that effort.
If they just allowed a fewer number of people into the park on any given day, would the customers be more likely to return again? I wonder if more people would spend money while inside the park if it was less crowded?
