What's the point of a queue test if they are planning on closing it by the end of summer?

Hmm....

Could be something they could utilize on other/future attractions. Can't see them leaving it open if any of these supposed expansions take place

Self serve hot cheese sauce going away at counter service restaurants? I guess you can stil request it and they will pump it for you. No word on if every hot item will be removed from the parks....you know, since people don't know they're hot.

Likely the result of yet another ridiculous, frivilous lawsuit. Mommy and Daddy weren't paying attention to their little snowflake who touched the cheese dispenser and almost got burned...so Mommy and Daddy sued Disney for $547,324,890,215,051,793.

There was a lawsuit back in 2011.

This is because people are supposedly burning themselves or something.

Yeah I don't think there has been anything recently that prompted this other than complaints.

Apparently the kid was burned pretty badly. However the parents claim it spilled on him...not sure how you can "spill" nacho cheese on your mouth though...unless you're drinking it?

It's sad for the kid but the signs say the cheese is hot, the parents should have tested it before letting their four year old dive right in.

This is a phrase I read pretty often around the forums, but here you go anyways: That's why we can't have nice things.

Gotta hand it to Disney, with all the sequels, comic-book adaptations, and live action remakes ... it looks like they may still be working on some original properties ... word coming in that they may be making an adventure film ala Indiana Jones (yes Disney also owns Indy) based around Charles Darwin

Darwin's voyage on the Beagle was certainly adventurous at times. He wasn't shooting at bandits personally or cracking a whip at dangerous beasts but he rode with the gauchos and hung around with Spanish soldiers who were hunting native desperadoes on the Pampas. It would be pretty easy to goose up his travels with exciting "incidents" and have him fight bad guys, rescue maidens and whatnot.

It might be better to come up with a fictional 19th C. naturalist/adventurer though ... the life of Darwin is too well known and his journal is accessible to anyone on the internet (and highly recommended reading). It would also allow the screenwriters to include adventures inspired by other 19th C. naturalists and explorers, like Alexander Humboldt and Richard ("Two Years Before the Mast") Dana and many others. The possibility for stories and adventures is endless.
