If Pirates of the Caribbean, the ride that sends people on a spirited voyage through the Spanish Main, suddenly blinks from green to yellow, the center might respond by alerting managers to launch more boats.
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?

I presume each boat has an overhead... extra handler(s) required, wear and tear on the boat itself, boats that are out on the water aren't able to be repaired...

Micro-optimizations on a large scale lead to a macro-optimization, no?

Maybe to balance the wait time. If everyone is constantly satisfied, then maybe they don't get the same gratification. Hype and wait builds tension that helps gratification.
