Does anyone know if data is published on DL and DCA ride capacity? Using trusty old Google, I found this site (http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/Disneyland/Secrets.html) which had data for maybe 6 or 8 rides at DL and a few at DCA. I would be interested if anyone knows of other sources.

Maximum ride capacity data can be found through the manufacturer if a ride was designed and constructed by one of them (ie Intamin, Vekoma, etc). I know several rides in DCA were designed by such companies so it won't be so hard to find those as those rides are scattered across the US. However for other attractions or even rides that were designed by Imagineering, that may be harder to find because Disney is pretty good at keeping those unavailable to the public. However, all ride specifications are kept by DOSH and it probably has been deemed public information since it deals with safety. You'd have to request that information directly from DOSH: Elevator, Ride and Tramway Unit Headquarters in Anaheim. I used to work with the senior engineer a LONG time ago and he's a nice guy too. But being a state gov't agency...expect to wait a long time.
