25 cars on Crawler with 3 riders per car is 75
48 seats on Whirligig
28 seats on Vertical Velocity
2 Trains on Batman with 32 riders per train is 64.
20 Boats on Yankee Clipper with 5 riders per boat is 100.

Total = 315

I agree we will give it to Nolan. The only mistake made was Clipper at full capacity can run 26 boats. This makes the total 345.

2007 is the last time I can say it was done for sure, but that's only because I did it.

When you get to the top, and you hear that click, you better hang on, because your coming down quick!

What was the dispatch interval for Willard's Whizzer when running 5 trains?

Sorry, My laptop goofed and didnt tell me that the answer was already revealed.

Anyway, For the current question : I would guess when the previous train is completely off the lift?
