@PerGron would it be possible to expand a queue (assuming I can make the space for it) within the parameters of the prompt?

Make the queue for Living With The Land take over the entire Soarin’ building

I'm certainly sad I'm not riding it, but the "We Are the World" a** queue needs an update

It honestly does. Although I’m also kinda happy that Disney has kind of left my favorite ride alone for so long. It’s like a little time capsule of joy.

Haunted Mansion? It’s much too conceptual, no ties to other IP, and it lacks a televised preshow where a recognizable character explains everything for you. 0/10 why marc davis.

- Slinky Dog Dash

I'm going to have to push back on this one just a little bit. It's not great and probably sucks to wait in it in the middle of a hot day, but I actually really like all the little details and the fact that the queue is basically the box that the Slinky Dog Dash playset came in. There's some really good scale gags and placemaking to get you into the mindset of actually being in a toy's perspective. Toy Story Land in general is really under-rated in that department.

For me the gold standards for terrible queues are Space Mountain at Disneyland and Navii River Journey. Disneyland's Space queue is just a bit fat nothingburger until you hit the march to the boarding area, and River Journey has you going around a whole bunch of wooden poles...Cool, hand carved wooden poles with some interesting art direction, but still. Midway Mania is also pretty bad at DCA, especially heinous because I love the Hollywood Studios version of that queue.

I've not done it yet, but I've heard horror stories of the Mine Cart Madness queue. The Cranky Kong AA looks great, but the entire rest of it looks incredibly boring. Waiting in that queue is the only part of my upcoming Epic Universe trip I'm actively dreading. I need the credit but I know it's going to be a total slog.

That's fair. I'm just thinking of the insane amount of switchbacks and the entire lack of shade until the last third of it. It's themed well enough, but I don't think it's good enough to cancel out the horrible design.

Honestly I have a really weird relationship with Slinky because I did the Toy Story Land early entry breakfast thing back when the land was new just so I could marathon it and basically never have the need to ride it ever again because I've gotten such a feel for it haha. I definitely knew the actual standby waits would be brutal. I did wait in a pretty decent line for a night ride, but obviously the heat wasn't as much of a factor in that scenario.

Living with the Land

I don’t remember this queue and for good reason!

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

@PerGron, can we add the new character to like the exit of the attraction?

Gauntlet Challenge One:
Redesign a bad queue at a Disney or Universal Park

Under Construction, beasts being tamed.

Gauntlet Challenge Two:
The All Mother at Celestial Park’s Festival of Light

The All Mother is an otherworldly being that all Celestians look up to for she illuminated the way to new galaxies and portals connecting the fabric between us all that makes us one. The All Mother has fair skin with celestial blonde hair with star glitter scattered throughout her beach waves. She dons powder blue robes that flow with the wind with gold accents of stars, sparkles, and a crescent moon - when she comes out to greet Celestians and visiting travelers at night these accents are illuminated with fiber optics that add a layer of magic.

The All Mother is celebrated during the newly created Festival of Light which runs in Celestial Park from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend - the festival sees 8 additional festival food booths set up around Celestial Park each inspired by a planet in our solar system. During the Day at the main Celestial Park stage a traveling group of singing bards gather around to tell the tale of how the All Mother came to be and harnessed the light and energy to bring unison to Celestial Park. Throughout the area guests will find tapestries of space be hung up draping across the walkways providing additional shade during the hottest months of the years - at night these tapestries light up with fiber optics as they are cut from the same cloth as the All Mother’s robes.

Gauntlet Challenge Three:
Design your dream dark ride (It can be busbar, trackless, boat-based, whatever, just has to be a dark ride.)

Under construction, flights departing soon.
