It’s still adjacent to the entranceWe know of one land (Nintentdo) in which there is an exit separate from the entrance. I don't know if the other lands are doing the same, but that helps with crowd flow.

Actually, it seems like a good idea. Instead of people cramming into a walkway between lands, there's a big, expansive, lush park for them to walk through.Okay! Thank you, that’s what I thought but couldn’t remember. This seems like such a poor choice for crowd control/flow but I understand it from a thematic standpoint
Really? That's like saying crowd flow would be better at MK if they closed off the paths between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, Fantasyland and Frontierland, etc. and instead expanded the hub so everyone had to retrace their steps back to what would now be a big, expansive, lush park in order to walk between lands rather than some using the smaller walkways to move between lands. Maybe it will work, but it looks like they're creating choke points by funnelling people in and out of the lands through these portals.Actually, it seems like a good idea.

They'd only have to tear down the castle, remove some of the Main Street buildings, and run the hub from the train station to the back of Fantasyland, add a couple of hundred trees, wide walkways and fountains and it might come close to Celestial Park. Otherwise there's no comparisonReally?

Well, would doing that and blocking off the paths between the lands improve guest flow?They'd only have to tear down the castle, remove some of the Main Street buildings, and run the hub from the train station to the back of Fantasyland, add a couple of hundred trees, wide walkways and fountains and it might come close to Celestial Park.

Neither am I when Universal brings back their COVID-era reservation system for EU's first year (at least).Forgot to mention, I'm not a fan of not connecting the individual lands to each other, but not entirely worried just yet that the Hub will be a congested mess.
I'm sure they might use a (day of) reservation system on when to access some of the lands (Primarily SNW & MoM) on the busiest of days. Supposedly Epic will only sell 1-day tickets on the first few weeks of operations to reduce stress during the first few days (I think it's a terrible idea as SWGE at Disneyland proved APs/locals wouldn't buy into it. Just have a reservation system for APs).Neither am I when Universal brings back their COVID-era reservation system for EU's first year (at least).
Ironically Disneyland had dead ends for years and no one seemed to notice. The whole idea is when you walk into that land, that land and only that land is visible. No castle looming over Frontierland. As several people pointed out DA is basically a portal and it works fine.Well, would doing that and blocking off the paths between the lands improve guest flow?
Again, we'll see how it works in practice. On paper, though, it seems like a valiant effort at good theming but one that might not be great for park ops.
Isn't May 2 for SNW?Possibly the biggest of the 5 announcements, that should draw large audiences/eyes.
Wonder if Disney announces new monorail carpets?
Even within parks that feature multiple access points you have congestion. I don't think it'll be as bad as people think.Ironically Disneyland had dead ends for years and no one seemed to notice.

Yes, but don't quote me on that since Universal loves to botch announcements lolIsn't May 2 for SNW?
