Pretty cool idea

Wow! That looks awesome. My DD(2) is jumping, pointing, and yelling "I ride that!" "I ride that!" as I type this.

That looks great!!! What an awesome idea.

what a fabulous idea about the buzzer. NO MORE LONG WAITS FOR DUMBO

 

[Kronk N Tink]

As cool as this all looks why do I suddenly have visions of my buzzer going off and my son wanting to keep playing in the queue

Wonder how they would deal with that.

LOL, I wanted to be entertained by Circus Frea... er I mean Folk! What happened to that plan?
Now that I think about it though, sitting in an air conditioned building while the kids play is a pretty good idea. The whole circus land is just turning out to be a big playground though. It would have been nice ifthey added at least one new attraction to it.

The same way they deal with kids not wanting to leave the play area on Pooh's queue. They let the parents set proper expectations and manage their children.

good one. i usually see kids leave that play area in tears... you give them a playground, they won't even care about the ride.

It looks really neat BUT what if your pager goes off and your kid is at the top of the net and there are a zillion other kids so it is hard to get down? Will you miss your turn because it took your child twenty minutes to get down because it was so crowded? How long do you have after the pager goes off? What if you miss your turn? Can you go on next time? Wouldn't this screw up the people after you? Will they start the ride with empty elephants because people didn't make it in time after the pager goes off or do they hold everyone else up? Just curious on how well this will actually work.

I would guess that they page people 2-3 shifts before their actual turn, not exactly when it's time to board. Pager goes off, then you go get in a very short line and wait 1 or 2 spins of the dumbo and then you ride. Lots of wiggle room that way. Will try to check it out in person later this month, though our youngest is 16...
