Modern developments in the Disney parks are sorting us into a caste system (which may have always existed – I’ve been outside the States so long, memory blurs). I do recall standing for 90 minutes waiting for our turn at antiquated Space Mountain – while the pre-booked Fast Passers sped by us on the adjacent lane. Not so awful except there is no escape – at 20 minutes plus, you’re in the belly of the attraction, no way to walk out (had me wondering what happens in a fire or emergency).

No question that food offerings have improved in these parks, and most of us know the basic tips (go to fave rides during the nighttime “Electric Light Parade” when folks line the streets and few are queuing up for rides).

Now the news and comedy shows are abuzz with the story of wealthier patrons hired the disabled to get them to the front of the line. Given most Americans get a 2-week vacation, and the cost for a family of four rivals R/T travel to a foreign country – it’s astounding that these places still hold any appeal.

As with office space and retail development, these investments depend on people spending money in order to realize proper returns. Who exactly is the target user for this place?

I was in Ferrari World last year, and my kids were stunned by lack of lines for the rides – except for the World’s Fastest Rollercoaster – and even that involved less than 15 minutes in a queue. (By comparison, crowds require that you’ll wait 10 times that to get on Walt Disney’s old Magic Mountain).

At least it’s creating fun jobs for architectural renderers!

“mega problems” : LOL!
