If this area had lots of benches and other seating, I'd understand it. But it won't.
If this area had animals, I'd understand it. But it won't.
Heck, if this area had meet n' greets, I'd understand it. But it won't (at opening).
I just don't understand it. It seems like a queue in search of an attraction - and not a particularly memorable queue, at that. I can't shake the sense that it will be a ghost town in a year or two and seasonal/ permanently closed a year or so after that. What's the draw?
