I just rode TT2,and I voted that I preferred it. But that's mostly because TT1 was pretty terrible. The first minute or so of TT2 was decent in terms of "oh, that's a cool effect" , but after that i just got confused. The story doesn't make much sense.
Also, this attraction is nowhere near...
The potential problem is that there's a turn-around after the Auto Plaza that goes back towards the parking lot (north on World Dr, left on 7 Seas Dr, left on Floridian Way, opposite the Car Care Center). So it would be easier to get free parking.
This was a concern I had when they were testing the new entry system at Epcot. The CMs in the photos had their noses stuck in the tablets and weren't looking at/interacting with guests. I'm sure that can change somewhat with practice, but it still seems a bit impersonal.
Reports are that security for guests is the same as usual and there's no obvious additional police/Secret Service presence. I'd expect that to change when Obama shows up.
If anything, this will require more CMs. Seems like for each bank of 4 sensors, they have 2 CMs behind the sensors, 1 CM at the exit (with some kind of handheld device), and 1 CM to direct people to a sensor. Plus there are tons of extra CMs now to pass out the stickers and watch how things...
There's a video at

(and many more pics at a site that seems to be blocked).
I'm curious how this will work for times when there are problems. I don't see any kind of displays/override buttons or anything like that for CMs to use for a broken ticket and whatnot.
