That must be a really repetative job! That whole queue concept just seem so strange to me. I guess I'll have to wait until I see it in person (in January!) to really understand it.

Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: From what we saw, once you choose to enter the interactive queue line, you're pretty much stuck there until it moves forward to merge back with the regular queue. ORWEN: In certain sections of the queue, it might be possible to squeeze past other guests--depending on who they are and who you are. We don't want to spoil things for you by saying what there is to do there. But on a hot day I wouldn't recommend getting in line for the interactive queue because there was no shade and if the guests ahead of you take too much time, you could get steamed--literally! So I'd wait for a cloudy day to do the interactive queue--which is to the left, by the way. ORDDU: If you want to avoid the interactive queue, just stick to the line that's to the right and you'll be able to enter the Haunted Mansion faster.
