Yes, that bottle neck in WDW was a major mistake. It was a design flaw of sorts, because aesthetically they thought, I believe, that it looked better and more inviting with a little closeness and feeling of security. However, they aren't going to move entire buildings because it gets a little tight in there sometimes. They have much bigger fish to fry if they would just get around to frying.
I think the reason there are no trees is so there's plenty of room for the..........................BIG...BLUE...HAT!!!
Imagine how bad this bottleneck used to be with the pylon's from the skyway in place. At least one ran right through here too. I'll have to dig up my pics from 1982.
Found it!
Look how few strollers there are! The pylon is long gone, but the stroller parking from Philharmagic fills all the way out to that former info kiosk.
I know this is off-topic, but I actually wonder what the ridership of the Skyway used to be and how many people that attraction actually removed from the midway between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. Kind of like an "express lane" on the highway but for the Midway instead. Imagine if the People Mover actually went to a different land instead of coming back to the same spot.
Not a lot. Skyway was a very low capacity attraction.
Yes, indeed. I was about 5 years old when this pic was taken. I think it was in the fall of 1982 possibly. I know it was for the tencennial celebration as I have other pics of the celebrations at the hub with band and all. I know the celebration lasted about a year give or take plus based on time stamp on back of pic puts this around that time.
The whole top left section of the park is a bottleneck.
