Originally Posted By IB Hearty yes, you can queue up for any ride, right up until park closing and still get to ride. Granted most rides don't typically have 2.5 hr wait times right at closing... At Indy, we typically walk the line in and only have a handful of people to follow in, the last group of people in the film room are typically only one or two small groups.

Originally Posted By SuperDry Oh, I doubt guests will see any "behind the scenes" activity taking place. That's perhaps one reason why they need to limit the after-closing operation of the ride to 2.5 hours, so that they have time not only for maintenance on the Subs themselves, but everything else visible from on stage between the Subs and the park entrance.
Originally Posted By SuperDry <<< I'm confused, is this 'up to 2.5' hours thing ALL summer, year or just the first few weeks when the ride will get slammed the most? >>> I would imagine it's indefinite, as it seems to be just a public statement of what's always been policy at DL for all attractions.

Just something else to think about....

But then I remembered there are never any new events or parades.

I apologize to all of you, including Chimike and monorailblue, who were right all along"? I would have enjoyed that post even more.

Originally Posted By leemac The subs finally closed at 1:30am on Monday night. Thankfully the park did empty after Remember... so it was only a 90 minute wait at closing. It was pretty much 4 hours all day. Tuesday the line was 120 minutes before 8am. It was already back to the Small World Mall.
Originally Posted By cmpaley >>They should keep the park open until 3am some nights (like MK does for EMHs)<< That's all good and well for the EMH's. They're holographic computer programs and don't need sleep. Do they have ECMH's to run the park when the EMH's are there? ;-) (1 drink at the Cove bar to whoever gets the reference)

Originally Posted By knoxvelour I think I'm one of the few people who actually liked Voyager. Im a big fan of Robert Picardo and his casting is what drew me to that particular series. Now I'm catching up on DS9, I stopped watching that after the first season And cmpaley, I'll let you know when my next visit is
Originally Posted By cmpaley ROLFOL!! I love Voyager, too. I have my DVR record it every day it's on now.
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Yeah, I liked Voyager too . I don't know why people dog it so much. But Deep Space 9 was *the* show!! Knoxvelour, trust me, once you get to season 3 and beyound, you will be kicking yourself you then get into it sooner. It's probably the most underestimated Trek show ever while being the best one ever made! IMO of course .
Originally Posted By knoxvelour yeah after follwing TNG, Voyager and enterprise, I've come to realise Trek doesn't hit it's tride until after the 3rd season. I didn't care much for DS9 because none of the characters really grabbed me. I found Odo and Bashir particularly annoying. Last night I found out I'm not the only one Bashir annoys as Chief O'Brien wasn't too thrilled about going on an away mission with him. OK...I'm talking about Star Trek and a Disney message board. If I get any more geeky, I'm gonna have to give myself a wedgie!!!
