    At some point you just have to hope people will have some personal responsibility.

    Time to give it a cohesive, futuristic, themed look.

    I've always wanted to see it emulate the "Transportation Lobby" from Walt Disney's E.P.C.O.T. City.

    But then you'd probably have trouble with guests reading the tattoos upside down and still not knowing where they parked.

    And really, how hard is it to walk in FRONT of your vehicle instead of behind it?

    Honestly though I've never parked in any of the lots even when I've driven down. I've always taken the bus to the respective parks.
