I agree.
We spent Sunday to Tuesday at DLR, staying at VGC in a studio overlooking WOC. We took the long way from Palm Springs to Anaheim, driving the back roads instead of the freeway. We passed through dairy farms, and rodeo ranches. Gorgeous canyons, open fields, and huge vistas of snow capped mountains. We liked it so much, we drove home following the same route.
As for the Al Lutz post, we didn't see it until we got home Tuesday afternoon. Funny thing, we had dinner at Carthay Circle and were seated next to Yesterland's Werner Weiss, and someone from Miceage/Micechat. Micechat guy said something about an entire budget being dropped, that's when we started to eavesdrop. After reading the Lutz column, I'm thinking he meant Avatar, or Marvel.
A thought about Luigi's Tires, we rode that attraction on Sunday night to great success. We zoomed across the floor at a great speed because all the other tires were bunched up on one end. They need to take out half of the tires to make this work well. Al mentioned interactive queues being obsolete already, as most do single rider queue while staring at their IPhones. I can attest to that being perfectly true from what we witnessed in the single rider line at RSR.
My final thought on the Lutz article, is that we came away with the smallest inkling of a thought. DLR is going rogue without a care to who Iger is, or what he wants.
Seriously, though, I've never understood why Peter Pan is ridiculously crowded. It's a simple dark ride with a fun ride system, that's it. It's a short ride and is virtually static with black lighting. How it consistently has a line that rivals any of the longest in park is beyond me.
