Originally Posted By FerretAfros I doubt that the new line will take up much more room that the construction walls do now.

I also doubt that the line will stretch all the way around the lagoon for very long, since it moves so slowly that that would be several hours to the front. I doubt that it would last too long (although it will probably last a few months like that)
Originally Posted By DlandDug Any eastsiders with inside tips on where the line will be sent? My guess is that they will route it between the Matterhorn and Ariel's Grotto. Then it could be sent down Main Street, if so desired. Note that the Monorail entrance has been moved to the other end of the platform, so it will not conflict with thos route.

If they took it along the edgo of the lagoon, not only would it move more constantly (note-more, not that it will move very quickly), but there would also be stuff to look at. I can't imagine waiting under the Monorail tracks for hours, and I don't think there is much room there either (but I guess there is also less traffic).

Originally Posted By bean it will be interesting how the line will be managed. One option that i see is having it go behind the buzz building and then re configuring the extended buzz queue. The buzz queue could be set-up so that it only goes 1/2 down towards aerial grotto. Then the balance would be reconfigured to be used for Nemo with the line then wrapping around thru Tritons grotto walkway and then back towards the Nemo entrance. This would still keep the Nemo entrance in front of the attraction and not conflict with the Matterhorn line. A cm would have to be placed at a certain point to help crossing from Matterhorn way into tomorrowland.
Originally Posted By monorailblue I believe soccermermaid must be right, but even so, queues that cross walkways aren't new--it worked just fine for Indiana Jones when it opened. There is always a desire to keep the queue entrance near the Attraction itself, so it will be interesting to see what happens. However, Small World Mall is the best bet because it offers the most room. The entire east terrace can be filled with queue, should it get that long, as it was for "it's a small world" Holiday back in the day.
