I don't know as I've only ever FASTPASSed it! It does look as though it would be pretty intolerable, though!
Now that Soarin' is down in that corner of The Land, the escalator/stairs set-up is all wrong. There are two escalators - an up and a down - and two sets of stairs, on opposite sides of the pavilion. I would imagine that the one on the Soarin' side used to be the 'down' escalator, but since the heavy traffic has moved to that side of the building they've switched them. Good idea in theory, but it means that, in order to descend the stairs, everyone swarming down the 'ramp' from the doors into the pavilion, has to cross the paths of those exiting the up escalator. Chaos! A bit like this post.
