They'd be better off putting RAP through the current FT entrance and getting all queues pre-merged before the station, then use what was the RAP merger for batching

There is no RAP merger, the entrance is the fire escape on the exit side of the station. RAP batches by the hosts yelling across the station how many seats they need and only uses the rear of the train.

Current Fast Track has even more stairs than current RAP so probably not suitable though i agree would overall be better. I think if the appetite was there they could deconstruct the entire queue area to make it multiple lines but i can't imagine it is and also you'd undoubtedly lose the theming.

That or make a level entrance from the arch to main queue just before it goes into the building and use that as RAP

Only other issue is i believe red RAP need to be allocated to the rear of the train for evacuation procedures (although that is already flawed but that's another subject).

Have they put separate batchers back onto Vampire yet? Last time I rode it, I seem to remember there only being 2 platform staff on the entire ride who each handled both batching and restraint checking, with one handling RAP/FT and the other handling the main queue.

Main queue and FT merge outside.

RAP is on exit side of station platform.

One host does RAP and checks restraints on the exit side of train.

Second host batches the rest (previously merged main and FT), then checks that side of the train.

They should just go back to holding the back 2 rows for RAP, ditch the batcher and let people fill the bays themselves. Or just get more staff.
