Was another one between Great Movie Ride and the pop corn stand before Sfi-fi drive in started breakfast. May move that to prevent going on Star Tours early.
Seems like they like to stop doing the rope drop only to bring it back due to crowd control...If they did that at MK by the Hub and bypass the morning opening...Things would really hit the fan...
A similar practice is being used at Cedar Point now (giant rollercoaster park in ohio, not even close to disney's theming and planning but a lot of good fun), and having experienced it, I think this is a positive change. People get a taste of the park and don't feel so frustrated about being outside of the park. It's a good feeling, and a good plan.
