What is Christmas Eve crowds like for theme parks?

I think that site is an interesting guide, but I wouldn't take it as gospel.

I wouldn’t take it as gospel either, but it is running on what information VRTP/Accesso is feeding it.

Wait times at MW and SW aren’t too bad today. I’m surprised by the reasonably short time for Leviathan. Either the park is much quieter today or they’ve sorted out their loading procedures

Weekends are often relatively quiet as people all as a group think 'I'm not going at the weekend during the holidays, it'll be too busy'

Just for reference. Can confirm that crowds are more manageable today. Expect it to pick up again on Monday, but it won't reach the same heights of the past few days.

Good to see DC rivals and superman running 2 trains again.   How many trains has scooby got?

Scooby typically operates with around 14 cars, I'm not sure if that changes much for busier periods or not.

Scoob can run up to 18 cars at any given time on the track. It has not for several years however (not since fast track has been implemented) It would typically run 12 - 14 cars in an off peak day and 16 for a peak day (with a sorter and 2 loaders). When running the full 18 cars it was found that there was no room for any station delays at all and the slightest delay would cause the "must send" light to flash... and then 9/10 times cause a cascade stop resulting in an e-stop. I am not sure if this is still the case but 14 sounds about right 

 

West used to be able to run with up to 15 boats back in the day too, but typically ran with 11.

Looking at the lights on TPR video, the section to add/remove cars is after the sharp flat turns then first dip, of the wild mouse section, am I correct? 

[jjuttp]

If it is, then it's probably one of if not the best hidden one i've seen.

[Rivals]

I’ve never thought about it as i’ve never seen one but can anyone confirm where the transfer track for Scooby actually is? im very curious now as it must be very well hidden.

[Park Addict 93]

Could be wrong but I always thought it was in the straight section of track before unload.

[themagician]

Same! I’m fairly certain it’s on the straight right before you arrive at the unload platform 

[jjuttp]

I cant find any pictures from the Scooby Ride Sims (like litterally nothing. Not even wayback can help due to the login wall) either.

[rappa]

Scooby Transfer is the track immediately after the turn into unload. 
It’s a false wall on the left there and maintenance bay is on the other side. 

[jjuttp]

So are we talking blue or red here? Cause with how small the area is, my brain cant comprehend it being blue.

 

 

[rappa]

Blue is the maintenance bay

Remember scooby only has little cars, it doesn't need a big maintenance bay.
