Cool, that's what I thought. I'm also curious about how much of the nodule that sticks out of the back of the Emporium and Disney Clothiers is actually floor space rather than stock or storage. My thought was that you could basically have a straight shot that doesn't even impact backstage very much by doing the following, though it cuts through those weird areas:
There's a Utilidors entrance in your box, so they'd have to, similar to the east bypass, nudge a west bypass out away from the buildings.
Starting at TBA would be an operational nightmare. If they try it they will quickly learn the same thing they learned decades ago. Night parades need to start in Town Square.
Regardless of where the bypass comes out on the southern end of West Main St, it would still have to cross the parade route.
Oh, the on-stage route, yes. Sorry, I didn’t really fully grasp what you were getting at. I thought you meant disrupting its backstage route was inevitable. While it’s true that there would be a (relatively) short time that any western egress would be blocked, the point is more that, while Main Street piles up with guests looking for parade and fireworks viewing spots, the enclosed arcades, which would have no view of either event, should remain clear and provide rear access to shopping. You won’t have people sitting in the walkway or stopping short in the middle of your path 30 minutes before the fireworks to stake a claim.
You're overthinking this, they could just make a wider doorway on the side of the trolley building and send guests through the trolley building before crossing the street.
Uh, I mean, doesn’t the trolley go in there? Is there a ton of forever dead space on the side? The goal would be for these to be permanent crowd mitigation, not the temporary things they already are when crowds are heavy.
The trolley sits there but with the horses gone for the night there would be enough space to to funnel guests thru the front 1/3 side of the building at night. Some reconfiguration to the trolley building setup would be much cheaper & guest favorable than removing the barbershop.
opens, as that will be the first true "capacity expansion" in quite some time. Obviously Tron added a bit and Cars will too but Villains will likely noticeably increase crowds as Disney will likely put all of their efforts and resources into that land.
)I was more wondering, how long will it take for HEA's crowds to clear Main Street? Can they clear out and line up for Starlight in 40 Mins or would MK need that extra half hour which would push Starlight to 11:30?
They managed it with Wishes. HEA is like 8 min. longer. I doubt it’s an issue.
I thought HEA drew more Crowds than Wishes?
Plus I'm sure with the Main Street projections it draws more people over there.
