That coulda been a great ride. Three dark scenes, longer track, a worthy mountain. SighI would kindly submit the original concept art for the Seven Dwarves Mine Train.

Not a fan of this sign, it doesn't fit at all.
1) the sign itself doesn't fit
2) the picture is terrible
3) it's a real picture which doesn't go with any other signage in the parks (drawings)
Here's hoping it's temporary. And not rope light "temporary", but actually temporary.

A lot of people seem to be skipping these slides. They just want to spread the spread the load.
Touring Plans Blog has a good article on the issues with Tapu Tapu and the virtual lines concept. A nice read.
Should've been Parkscope's article. Still would rather read theirs and hope they do one still.
The article is interesting since it looks at the concept with a psychological slant.
Yea, it's a good read. The psychologist has an interesting angle, but then gets some of the theme park info incorrect. So it has some interesting tidbits, but only feels like half of a fuller piece to me.
Yes, I agree. Someone with a fuller understanding of theme parks, like Joe (Parkscope) could have filled in the gaps. I see some decent aspects of Tapu Tapu, and believe it fits water parks somewhat, once they fix the capacity issues. But I remain unconvinced concerning the value of virtual queues for traditional theme parks. Virtual queues at theme parks take away too much of the fun of spontaniety and take away from the newer entertaining queues like FJ, Gringotts, Kong, FOP, etc. And they create capacity issues.
Here's the article: Volcano Bay and the Psychology of the Queueless Theme Park - TouringPlans.com Blog | TouringPlans.com Blog
EDIT: Still waiting on Joe's though. :thumbsup:

Decent article, and some points seem valid.
However, he lost me as soon as he tried to frame the HRRR queue as anything other then the soul-sucking torture chamber that it is.
That's poor. The vibrant colors are so important to the design of this park, so I hope we don't see similar issues in the near future...

Our article was a little different but this gives me more push to finish it.
