According to numerous sources, both Soarin' at Epcot and Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios are adding a third theater and track, respectively, in the near future. These are two very popular attractions that tend to have LONG lines. Multiplying capacity by 1.5 should help with the lines of both of these attractions, right? Plus it would be easier to just make a portion of the attraction Fastpass only, right?
Well sure. The thing is, I view this as a poor solution to a bigger problem. These two parks (Epcot and Hollywood Studios) lack "headliner" attractions. Epcot really only has Test Track and Soarin', while Hollywood Studios has TSM, Rock n' Roller Coaster, and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, the latter two of which are not suitable for younger children.
If lines are long at some of your headliners that are not exactly that new anymore, maybe it's time to build some new attractions instead. And no, sticking two singing princesses and a talking snowman in the Norway ride does not count.
I hope that the Pixar Place expansion in Hollywood Studios fixes this problem in that park, and once Avatarland/Pandora is done in Animal Kingdom then Epcot's Future World is due for a major overhaul. Ellen's Energy Adventure needs to be refreshed soon...Alex Trebek won't even be hosting Jeopardy anymore in a couple of years...
Have a great day everyone!
