The interactive queue for Dumbo was one of the most interesting parts of the New Fantasyland announcement when it was made back in September 2009. Well, we’re finally getting a look inside:
Upon entering the queue, guests will get a pager (no different from waiting for a table at your local T.G.I.Friday’s) that looks like a Circus ticket. While waiting for their pager to go off and their turn to ride, parents can sit and relax in the air-conditioning while the kids play under the big-top in a themed playground seemingly straight out of the Dumbo film.
The Dumbo interactive queue opens along with the second Dumbo spinner and the Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station in July.
This is the single most brilliant concept WDI has rolled out in a very, very long time.
Playing…instead of waiting…how did it take so long to think of? Pagers! Brilliant!
Love this concept, hope it works!
How is crowd control dealt with? Concerns with big kids running over little ones if there are too many people in the queue area. Is there a limit to how many they will let in ?
