<p>Today we&#8217;re discussing theme park capacity at Star Wars:Galaxy&#8217;s Edge at Disneyland and Hagrid&#8217;s Coaster at Universal Studios and why it&#8217;s not always productive to look at attractions merely by how many people can squeeze onto them.</p>

<description>Today we’re discussing theme park capacity at Star Wars:Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Hagrid’s Coaster at Universal Studios and why it’s not always productive to look at attractions merely by how many people can squeeze onto them.</description>

Why we shouldn't judge theme park attractions merely by their hourly through-put.

Head over to reverseimagineering.com to find detailed images of each of the lands discussed in today's podcast.

It's not about capacity


<p>I recorded an episode last week on the capacity of various theme park lands and what we might be able to expect from Star Wars: Galaxy&#8217;s Edge. I sat down this evening with every intention of editing and publishing that episode. That did not happen. This happened instead. I hope you enjoy and know that this is a huge thank you note to all the imaginative people at Universal Creative, WDI and the companies they hire to help build the places we love. Thank you!</p>
