So Mr. Jim Hill reported that Ops is committing to the Big Thunder entrance being the only entrance to SW:GE for the opening summer. Jim also made a few errors in the same podcast, so, salt, yada to the power of 3, etc.
Rather than the validity of Jim's info, let's discuss the topic. If they did do this for days with maximum crowds, I propose blocking off all non-SW traffic from the Big Thunder Trail area. Use the entire area for queue and put stroller parking near the Fantasyland exit (for convenient dropping-off and picking-up. Thoughts?

I think so as well. With the caveat that I expect the rope drop bolus of people to be sent through either exit depending on the attraction they want. They’ll cut off the back of the rope drop crowds to start sending people into the middle entrance. They did a similar thing with Pandora. It makes far more sense to split the two rope drop crowds and essentially put them as far away from each other as possible.
But interestingly - you don’t think they’ll allow strollers in the land at all? Wouldn’t that be refreshing. Does Diagon Alley allow strollers?
When and if things are real bad I expect three stachions of FP like terminals giving return times allowing people to actually then queue at Big Thunder trail. Universal did something similar with Potter. But Big Thunder trail can accommodate a reasonable amount of people as you highlight (plus the fact the land will be at capacity)... that will be a lot of people removed from current Disneyland.
