I'm not praising the queue, I just said that it was the best queue in DCA. That's not much of an achievement really.

Cause I know you think lowly on the attraction as well, so I don't know why you now praise the queue.

Oh well, I'm done here.
well, it's a dark ride that retells the story of Monsters Inc. and dark rides that tell pretty much any story is totally themeless, so it's good for a dark ride I guess

Okay I'm just going to say it...

The queue's at DCA are reminiscent of a county fair..No originality..Just bars letting you know which way to go..DCA was designed as a BIG California Fair..Monsters Inc is the only ride in the park with ANY theme to it..Even Soarin has no theme...

^i don't think that the Mermaid ride will even have a queue because the Golden Dreams area looks too small. heck, too small even for the ride itself.

that's why they relocated the restrooms.... hopefully once you're inside, it's a recreation of Prince Eric's castle or something.

all the rides with good queues always suck outside...

I love the Monster's Inc. queue. I feel like I'm in Monstropolis :) I can't wait to see what The Little Mermaid queue will have in store for us.

I didn't forget TOT..The queue is no different than any other ride in the park..Infact I hate it that they didn't make the queue big enough and have to expand outside the walls of the ride...The real action is in the lobby but you dont get a whole lot of time in there...

Maybe I am the the only one (Or at least one of the FEW) who likes It's Tough to be a Bug. I like the way you appear to be burrowing down into the hill and the waiting area is nicely themed.

While it is not one of my #1 attractions to visit, I usually hit it up at least once per trip.

The boiler room is an important reason why Tower's queue isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's far too cartoony, and walking up stairs really loses it for me. If you want to see what a hotel's boiler room should be, visit Tower @ Hollywood Studios in WDW.

^^I have to admit, Disney World's tower is waaaaay better in every way than the one in DCA. From the queue to the ride experience.
