For example, if we know a ramp leading up to a ride can hold 60 people, and the ride can hold 20 people per cycle and has a dispatch time of 5 minutes, we can estimate that if that ramp is full, it will take three ride cycles to process all 60 people. Thus, the ramp being full means it is a 15 minute wait. | |||
