I usually agree with you, but I disagree with you here on BOG. You wouldn't go to a McDonalds unless you were hungry, would you? So why should someone who wants to eat NOW go to a counter service restaurant and be told to come back in 3 hours? If i'm that person, i'm not coming back, i'm going to eat somewhere else (and likely others will too). When people don't come back, they are losing money because, from what i've heard, they've only been running at 50% capacity during lunch during these tests.I respect your opinion and you have the right to them, I just don't think freaking out is needed. Many insiders have stated what this test is all about and not one insider has said that this is going to start to trend to a permanent thing on rides. BOG is a different beast. It is a place to eat which reservations are something people are used to with eating at Disney places.
The timing of the test falls in line with the construction timelines for the third track. If this was out of the blue and a third track was not being talked about, sure then I could see panic, but I don't see a need to panic when the test is to figure out if they need to ever have the standby line go into the FP+ line. You have to remember every ride out there today (Uni & Disney) the FP/Express people eventually merge, but if they do this a certain way, the lines will never merge. They need to see if a ride can handle this type of logistics before they go building it.
