So basically, they are batching twice as many guests as needed per cycle? Otherwise, they will be running the ride at half its capacity...

I reckon a 10-minute preshow is quite a lot, especially if we take into account that the main target are kids, who can't, for the most part, keep their attention level past 30 seconds...
 
10 minute pre-show?

No thank you.

I’ve got to be honest, nothing what PortAventura is doing at the moment is drawing me back. Ferrari Land being a separate park, extremely poor operations, increasing prices and stagnation of the main park are all big factors as to why I’ve decided to not visit these past few years and I feel like many others have felt the same way these past few seasons. I hope this ride does well for them and they do maintain it properly but I’m certainly not holding my breath with this one.
 
To be fair, the flying theater in Ferrari Land has a grotesquely long pre-show. They've obviously found a formula that works.
 
So, today was Street Mission's grand opening. Some informations about the attraction:

- The queueline features a preshow.
- Features 3D effects that require riders to wear special glasses.
- Trackless vehicles (yay!)
- Very entertaining and well put together.
- Slow load due to having just batching area (so, loading one car at a time)
- Express Pass available, but just the Junior version of it.




If I can get videos/more pictures later, I will post them!

And the TV ad for it:
