It was common to only run 2 trains on several coasters before Memorial Day


Maybe that changed at some point in the past couple decades, but it used to be that even in the middle of summer they wouldn't start the day with all 3 trains on all coasters unless it was Fri/Sat/Sun. Other midweek days, if it turned out to be busy that day, they'd pause the ride to add the 3rd train. They don't want to run all 3 unless they can keep them consistently near full (excluding a couple empty seats for lack of single riders), waste of mileage (i.e. maintenance costs over time).
