Attraction Capacity Calculator

Max Daily Visitors is the lower of two independent limits: a capacity/turnover limit (Safety Capacity times how many times the site turns over per day) and a throughput limit (Hourly Throughput times Operating Hours). At the default inputs, the capacity/turnover limit is smaller, so it's the one actually binding -- Hourly Throughput would only start moving Max Daily Visitors once it dropped low enough to become the tighter of the two constraints.

Turnover Rate is Operating Hours divided by Avg Visit Duration -- how many times, on average, the entire on-site crowd fully cycles out and gets replaced by new visitors over the course of a day. A longer Avg Visit Duration lowers Turnover Rate, since each visitor occupies a capacity slot longer, while more Operating Hours raises it by giving more cycles to work with.

Max Simultaneous is a direct pass-through of the Safety Capacity input -- it's a fixed on-site headcount ceiling set by fire code or site safety rules, not something calculated from throughput, hours, or visit duration, so none of those three inputs move it at all.

Throughput-Limited Max (Entry Gate) is simply Hourly Throughput times Operating Hours -- the total number of people your ticketing or entrance gate can physically process across the whole operating day, independent of Safety Capacity or how long visitors stay.

50% Capacity Day and 75% Capacity Day are Max Daily Visitors scaled down to half and three-quarters of its value -- practical, more comfortable operational targets below the theoretical maximum, useful for staffing and guest-experience planning rather than the absolute daily ceiling.
