I like. Very well and ... ummm... diplomatically put, sir.:animwink:

Exactly what I was thinking. Disney brags about their two fingered point and then goes and does this.Second, I always thought a pointing index finger was considered an insult in come cultures. I believe I read that was why cast members were trained to point with two fingers instead of one.
:shrug: Of course, the "traditions" standard has been severely reduced over the years at Disney.
They don't brag about it. You're not supposed to notice it.Exactly what I was thinking. Disney brags about their two fingered point and then goes and does this.
The two-fingered point has never applied to signs and the like. This has been on Main Street for years:Exactly what I was thinking. Disney brags about their two fingered point and then goes and does this.

And, to answer many people in this thread: YES, people really can be that stupid. It doesn't matter that the Doombuggy only really opens from one side. People will attempt to climb over the other side, even though the exit is obviously on the left. Why? Darned if I know.
Oh man, when I worked at Mission: Space Guests would exit the wrong way out of the capsules nearly every dispatch. That would cause back-ups for the teams entering the capsules. Then, if it wasn't sorted out within a certain amount of time, a door fault. Thankfully, it was something easy to clear, but still annoying.It happens on my rides too, even though the openings/doors are located on the left, with the solid side of the car on the right. Some kid jumped out of the right side of a car at unload 20 minutes into my very first day, and we had to e-stop and power disconnect, then coax him to climb back over the car and onto the safe side of the track.
what a waste of time, money.... Disney needs some serious help. All they really care about these days is the bottom line, not an enjoyable experience. It's really sad, I know they are trying to better things with the whole FLE but it looks like a war zone...
It coincides with the Underpants Gnome business philosophy.How exactly does this add to the 'bottom line'?

1. Hand projection
2. ????
3. Profit
If I had to take an educated guess (Industrial Engineering minor with studies in Human Factors), people entered from the left, and thus, they think they have to exit from the right, like when you enter a Disney theater, getting off a coaster train where load/unload is at the same platform, etc.
As for the hand vs. skeleton, perhaps they could take a cue from the changing portrait in the foyer, and have the first hand be normal, the second hand be decaying, and the 3rd hand (if there is one) be a skeleton...
This just proves my long held belief that "If you make something idiot proof, someone will make a better idiot."

You can't fault Disney for protecting themselves against people's studpity, as well as their propensity for suing over any little reason. It's a shame, but it's reality. If someone were to climb out the obviously wrong side of the Doom Buggy and get maimed or killed, they'd sue and would probably win or get a settlement.
Again, can't fault Disney for feeling the need to do this.
give me a break! Disney cares little about safety or they would have shut down the chair lift at Blizzard Beach. I had trouble getting off, then I turn around and my sister and her daughter and under the car. The manager of the park came back with "It's that cast members third day on that attraction" Truthfully, they should have sued, you have no idea what it's like to see your family members under and ride, her three year old who was with them still talks about it, it's something he will never forget, thanks for the memories Disney!!! I really don't think the HM is should be the primary focus for safety hazards. really!!!!
