Plus Peter Pan always has a crazy long line
A lot of it is thruput not just how good/thrilling a ride is that causes lines
Very true.
And so people know - the Tomorrowland Speedway has a typical hourly ride capacity 450 people per hour, which is NOTHING. (BTMRR is 1,400, 7DMine Train is 1,500, Space Mountain 1,800, Haunted Mansion 2,900, even lowly Peter Pan is 720 per hour.) This is why lines are usually large at the Speedway - not because it's popular, but because it doesn't absorb any people. And trust me, if there is anything that threatens that ride to being closed is the massive footprint that absorbs no bodies.
We rode the speedway for the very first time last trip when our DD was 13. We avoided it like the plague for years, because I can ride the exact same ride in my neighborhood, only the cars actually go more than 5 miles an hour. If you can't guess, I would be perfectly fine with it being removed. I also wouldn't mind if it stayed, but would prefer it not be a noisy-pollution filled ride in "Tomorrowland". Maybe the a future if the government rollback emissions regulations?
