Change in Roger Rabbit FP!

[DLR29]

Don't worry, its FP is still disconnected...

BUT, I was at DL today and instead of having a separate FP (the short line at the entrance) and stand-by line (the long, themed indoor line), they kept the stand-by line outside of RR's building (by the fountain), and had the FPs merge right at the ride's entrance. So it's now similar to Indy where they have all this empty queue line inside and you basically walk through most of it, not appreciating it.

I asked and they said that they had just started this this weekend, and that it's not necessarily permanent, rather just a test.

I think it's better for their loading procedures, but now another great queue is being walked through very quickly...

Hmm. I can see why they would try that, as I always felt the line got a little congested in there. The signs and whatnot on the walls are neat though.

I'm not really one to take advantage of RR being on a separate FP system, as I'm not really a fan of the ride, but that was what I thought you were going to say!

I was wondering why the queue's were all empty and everyone had to wait outside .... I really wanted to look at all the interesting stuff along the way but felt rushed along by the people behind me.

This loading procedure seems to be coming into use for more and more attractions, most noticeably on Indy, Space Mountain, and now, Roger Rabbit. It does improve guest flow and reduce wait time by using the empty queue space to urge guests along. The bad thing is that guests are now being held in less themed spaces. Disney is now probably designing queues to new rides to be held in this fashion and possibly planning to update queues in the future, much like what is being done at WDW with Haunted Mansion.
