Originally Posted By Trinitys Ghost I actually equated it first to the thumbs up on the Guide for Hitchhikers (Guide to the Galaxy, that is).

I agree that it is a bit much, but consider the alternative; adding a narration in several languages asking guests to "exit stage left". That would be much, much worse (and funnier for us to discuss, no doubt).

I do think that they could make it look a little more like a hitchhiking thumb pointing the way out, which might fit the theme of the area a little better...

Could have been much worse.

With all the things WDW needs to address I just don't see this as an issue. In fact I think its sort of cool. Oh well it's just my opinion.
