Which then begs the question, "who approved such a wasteful modification?"

Because this is Disney if one thing hits, then everything must hit. See also rereleasing classic films in 3D

This doesn't surprise me, and in fact, I would have thought the percentage of people skipping it would be higher. Anyway, I wasn't really asking about the number or percentage of HM visitors choosing the option to experience the interactive queue, I was asking if the from those who chose to do it was positive. "Of course, there's always MY way..." LOL!

It's like the designers realized it wasn't really necessary or good enough to require everyone to see it. It'd be like making the Stretch Rooms optional. Clearly they are central to the attraction. The new queue isn't. So why build it? Why invest money in it? Spend the money to clean the cobwebs out of Peter Pan's Flight. Use the money to plus another attraction. Truly speaks volumes about the incompetence of the execs.

I have been in the Poo que... and many adults and children enjoyed playing with the interactive equipment. Mission accomplished!

I'm hoping I don't reply to myself to harshly as I'll just have to apologize to myself (undoubtedly with the aid of some prodding by the folks hereabouts) or worse yet have Admin delete my post. I invite everyone to take sides. I mean right now. Before I leave even. I think I'll have to post from WDW as I can't imagine having to wait until I get home to see how it pans out!
