Let's say Indy breaks down at 2:15 so all the people on the ride get walked out and are given a Re-Ad for the new system, well what about those who were just about to get on or who were already scheduled for the next few minutes. I would not want to be the CM to go up to the family who had a 2:20 time and say hey can we give your time to these people who were on the ride already and you can take the 2:45 tickets from those guys over there? granted the ride wouldn't be up by that time but having the first tickets of when it went down would symbloise that family would be first on because they had already waited. Causeing a domino effect for all families to get bumped back...Do you see the problem with this?

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt Hmmm... I thought FP had a window and were invalid after that window expired.
Originally Posted By Hista98 yep once youre time starts you can show up when ever and use your fastpass, even like 5 minutes before park closing even if the window ended at 2.

I know you guys don't have kids, but if they could have some kind of small little play area where kids could let loose and not have to stand still in a straight line for a half an hour, that would be so great. It would be a HUGE difference to all of the parents out there. The worst part of Disney for parents is trying to keep the kids occupied while waiting. They get hot and tired and cranky no matter how well themed a line que is, having a room where they could get out of the heat and be cool and play would make a humongous difference for them and the parents who have to deal with them when waiting in long lines. Particularly with the youngest of kids who think it's funny to try and run and make you catch them and can easily squeeze under a bar to get out of line. Then you have to hold them while they are trying desperately to get down and it's 100 degrees and you're holding a 30 pound sweat monster, lol. It can be a big pain, and anything to make that easier on parents would be the best thing they could do in my opinion.

I'm an adult and I could use something like that. I absolutely hate standing in line no matter how beautifully decorated the queue is. As much as some people detest it, I can't imagine visiting a Disney park without using Fastpass.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I never wait very long in lines, I would never wait an hour to ride anything if I could help it. I either plan it so I can be there when there are shorter lines, get FPs, or I probably am not going to ride it. That's one of the reasons I haven't been on Indy yet, always a huge wait, I never get to the FPs in time, and I'm not willing to wait an hour especially when my kids are too short to wait with me.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Hista as long as I"m sitting down, there isn't much that I wouldn't put up with. Bring on the annoying, poorly themed games.
Originally Posted By tashajilek Constance you have never been on Indy!!!! I dont think i can date someone who hasnt even been on indy!!!
Originally Posted By mousermerf If Disney contracted Nintendo to make the games, I'd be all for it. As it stands, they use students from schools like Carnegie to get free/cheap labor and the end result is decidedly subpar for a gaming experience. Nintendo can make short games that are fun and easily picked up by the masses and short in duration. Disney has a working relationship with the company, they are simply too cheap and egotistical (note all the "games" they try to develop in the den of solitude on Flower street..) to just pay the company to make things for them.
