Edit: OK I have to ask... who in their right mind would stand in a line for 5 hours??? I think I'd be hangin' out doing some serious people watching or something before I'd wait 5 hours in a line for a what, 5-7 minute ride? Wowee. Can you imagine what it's like inside the Land?

Man...I love Disney....BUT not that much.....I will never again complain about a 45 minute wait at Sorin in September!!!!

Why would Disney allow a 5 hour line? I would think that they would at some point do only Fastpass returns. 5 hours, that line has to be back out through the food court...

I got to the park at 9am and fastpasses were gone for Soarin'.

That's what I was thinking, or I s'pose they could open the back doors past the bathrooms if they had a CM to post there. But still, I agree, I wonder why they don't close it for awhile.

But wouldnt it be simpler to say after 5pm, shut down standby, issue more fastpasses, run standby as another fastpass? Of course, if there is a five hour wait, thats probaly, what, 500 waiting in line not taking up space elsewhere?

There's no ride on this earth I would wait 300 mins. for even in my beloved disney world. :hammer:

 

[surfsupdon]

I miss being there, lol, call me crazy.

We'd just be heading in to Epcot now from International Gateway to our dinner at some country, then hang out in Japan, people watch, maybe eat some snacks, and hang out with our friends and family at Japan's video dance party while we wait for the fireworks.

Hope everyone there is having fun.

I wonder what's wrong with Universe of Energy? I bet they are trying to get that back up and running..

Ugh...I would rather set my face on fire and then put it out with a ball peen hammer than have to deal with that many people.:hammer:

 

[CThaddeus]

I hope management does not misinterpret this as the masses finally warming up to a half baked attraction and instead correctly interprets this as no other place to stand in the park....

My feelings about Test Track exactly.

when i was at epcot for new years 2 years ago there was no wait for figment -it was a walk on-i dont like the ride i only went on it to sit down lol.

Not enough solar energy? The dinosaurs are sick? Someone passed out from boredom on the ride and they are trying to finish the investigation?

On a day like today having any attraction in the park closed must be horrendous. They need as many people-eater attractions as possible, and not having the one that keeps people hostage for 45 minutes is probably impacting the wait times for other rides pretty severely.

 

[BSikor]

So the park is still open right? I'm an AP holder and will be going in around 745-8 tonight. Im hoping no to have any issues.

Your tribute to the inferno barge, huh?:lol:

I wonder if they are handing out FastPasses for the bathrooms and counter service restaurants.

That's what I was thinking...they need everything open.
