If this takes off, it may be a full circle return to the original days of Magic Kingdom in the early 70's and before. ; Remember back in the ticket book days, there were throughout the parks little kiosks where you could buy your ticket books, since guests were running out of D and E tickets quickly. ; There were spots in Tomorroland, Fantasyland, etc where you could grab more. ; I can see if this FastPass idea takes off, having FastPass kiosks set up again throughout the parks - maybe even bringing back the original little kiosks and converting them for FastPass purposes. ; In one way, it would be fun to see the little ticket booths back in MK, and maybe the WorldKey kiosks brought back to Epcot for this purpose. ; Ak and HS of course would have to have new fitments made...but it could be a futuristic way to link to the past.
As a non-FastPass user, this shouldn't really affect me - I've used maybe 5 FastPasses in my life - falling more into the second group they mentioned that think FastPasses are too much an example of modern society's need to rush-rush-rush and not stop to smell the flowers. ; In this case, the flowers being Disney's brilliant queue theming, which on some rides is as worth seeing as the ride itself. ; I couldn't imagine running past all the queue theming at POTC, or Haunted Mansion, or Everest, or Kali Rapids, or Kilimanjaro. ; Sure, when the parks are empty, I've walked past them enjoying that the line wasn't there...but when there is a line, I enjoy the slow move forward that gives me the time to look at all the little details in the queue, take photos of them, and admire the attention to detail reading all the posters, signs, looking at things placed on desks and shelves, listening to various music, voice recordings, messages, and sound effects, and looking for hidden Mickeys.
