Four cars, 35 passengers each, each passenger 200 pounds, you're only looking at an extra 28,000 pounds.
Four cars with 35 passengers each is what fraction (perhaps half?) of the capacity that the GLRR's main train set had? Didn't GLRR's train have 7 or 8 cars? Wasn't the GLRR's "extra" train itself about five cars long?
This might be a good thing for photographers like myself. If thye have to run more trains each day in order to accomodate the same total number of guests, we'll have more opportunities to photograph. Plus, having the entire train fitting on the bridge at once might actually make the photographs look better.
