Spaceship Earth very busy today - using overflow queue

[wdwmagic]

Spaceship Earth was looking pretty busy today. Despite what some people think about the ride since the refurb, there is no denying it's pulling in the numbers.

Today was so busy that overflow rope lines were added along the sides.

It's Spring Break this week in Metro DC. Came early this year.

Best get a suicide watch on certain posters then.

I stopped at Raglan Road for a Smithwicks on my way home yesterday.
I can believe the parks were busy.
Down Town Disney was very busy at 5:00, and there's nothing to do at that time except shop.

Wow, and the ride will only get busier when most places have Spring Break.

The spring break season started this past weekend, so this isn't much of a surprise.

Sure, I'll watch!
We should be so lucky! :zipit:

Spring break is happening. Many colleges are off and some local schools have long weekends coming up with the Easter holiday.

The crowds have hit.

I would assume that is the only reason the line is that long for SSE.

Thanks Steve..

The lines were pretty long when I went the first week of March...

I think regardless of what some people say alot of people are enjoying the ride.

Every guest down in Epcot, the tall and the small...were QUEUEING. Without any Cronkite at all!

And the Drinch, watching all this from his top-secret lair, was completely befuddled: 'How can they be there???

They queue for vid screens!
They queue for triangles!!
They queue for this mishmash that Imagineers mangled!!!'

 

[doop]

Cool, glad to see it's getting attention from guests.

Its spring break season. Every attraction wether good or bad will have long lines.

 

[starwood]

Don't forget this Sunday is Easter!!!! These next 2 weeks will be 120-180min waits for EVERYTHING!:brick:

 

[aladdin2007]

Have they done anything more with those triangles in the past few days or couple weeks or are they just still hanging in there unfinished doing nothing? Was just curious if they have been in there working more at all.

Please provide pics of the line for Imagination...then we'll know if spring break has truely hit....

 

[CaptainMichael]

Sure the line is that way because of crowds, but the same thing happens at Pirates and Haunted Mansion. On any given day, you can walk straight onto them, yet no one mentions that, but if they don't agree on a refurb, Imagineering has failed OMG!

Spaceship Earth has a high, constantly-flowing capacity.

Ah....memories of when it used to be like this all the time! Time to clean out those stanchion holes

I must be getting old.... more and more of my replies seem to have the phrase "ah...memories..."

UGH!

Easter/Spring Break week + Epcot entrance + newly redone SSE =

Keep away! Keep away!

 

[wdwmagic]

Crowds wernt too crazy from what I hear. Test Track, Soarin and MS were still dishing out FASTPASSes around midday.
