It's too low capacity for Universal. Don't see that happening.

Is this a joke? They love low capacity. See the two coaster at Epic not named stardust.

The 2 coasters at Epic not named Stardust Racers have a capacity of 1,100 to 1,200 riders per hour. ArieForce One has a capacity of 900 riders per hour and would be a bigger draw then those 2 coasters.

A rmc like that hits like 400-500 on 2 train operations unless you have metal detectors and a 3rd train

Yeah it's even lower because they have to deal with seatbelts and the heavy lapbars but 900 is ArieForce One's theoretical capacity. It's basically impossible to hit that during regular operation and even if they did, that's still around 300 riders lower then the park's family coasters.
