Originally Posted By Disneybrad I guess I was luckey enough to have ridden it when there was a line. Then again, you could also have just paused a second to see them. Since at almost every Disney Atraction the videos, and things played in the queue are important for the understanding of what is going to happen in the ride. JIYI was not a first in that respect, and concidering how people discuss Disney on this board, we tend to be the few people who normaly would go to the trouble of doing that.

I've actually tried to take my time enjoying intereting aspects of various Disney cue lines, only to be rudely shoved aside or told to "hurry the $%"# up" by pushy tourists (the same butt holes who then jostle for the front of the crowd when it comes time to enter the attraction).
Originally Posted By Disneybrad Then just step to the side, if there is no line. As was usualy the case on JII, just tell them to go ahead. And if there was a wait, the monitors filled the whole queue, so there is no excuse not to have been able to watch them, other than a conscience choice not to.
Originally Posted By plpeters70 I Disney felt the story presented on those monitors was so important, then they should have set up a pre-show room with a short introduction - that way everyone would have been on the same page. Or better yet, they should have kept the carousel theater part of the attraction - one of the best "pre-shows" Disney has ever done -- and everyone got to see it while sitting down. But, as we all know, Disney really didn't try at all with this ride, and obviously did as little as possible to get the ride open.
Originally Posted By Disneybrad I did. But you should also never let the pushy people have control. If there is no line, and they can go around tell them to, if they continue to be jerks, ignore them. Stand your ground, and enjoy it.
Originally Posted By Disneybrad I think, the monitor part of the pre-show worked, if the attraction had more at least a 5 or 10 minute wait. Then you were in that portion of the queue long enough. I don't think, they realized how fast the bad word on this ataraction was going to travel, to the point that the line was never more than a 1 or 2 minute wait, right on the dock.
Originally Posted By plpeters70 That's my point -- I don't think they really put much thought into this attraction at all, and obviously people noticed it. You just don't go from one of the most beloved rides at EPCOT to that piece of crap and not expect people to notice.
