I have to wonder if Disney will in the future use this device to there advantage by posting false wait times in a way to reflect the patterns of the crowd.

At least at RnRc you would have been able to see what conditions were like at the other side of the park whereas at the moment you have to walk the full 5 miutes to the tip board, which is pretty much on top of the attractions in question anyway!!!
