The Friendships don't hold 200 people! I think you got your numbers crossed. They drop off more like 50, or 200 per hour.
OK - then 100 isn't much of a "surge".

Hey enjoy your free time, the aerials can wait!Bioreconstruct has new aerials from today however I do not have time currently them to post them.
On opening day, the attractions at Animal Kingdom were Kilimanjaro Safaris, Tree of Life (It's tough to be a bug), Countdown to Extinction (Dinosaur), Tarzan stage show (now Finding Nemo), Festival of the Lion King, Flights of Wonder, Conservation Station (now Rafiki's Planet Watch), Gorilla Fall Exploration Trails (now Pangani Forest). There was also a train ride to Conservation Station. I think that's it.It is almost like watching a whole new park being built. How does the number of attractions being built compare to the number of attractions that were opened on opening day for Animal Kingdom Park?

I keep saying basically the same thing - but I keep thinking it: The Slinky Dog coaster looks like a fun yet slight little coaster. Seems a lot on par with 7DMT. I think a lot of people will be complaining how short it is.
Great story. For some people, seeing back stage can be just as magical as the "real" magic is supposed to be.Cool Picture. Our son has always been interested in geography. Even when he was quite young on our first trip to WDW, he was fascinated by World Showcase. He had seen pictures of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and was excited when he saw the copy in EPCOT towering over the France Pavilion. But as we walked away from France Pavilion he got more and more agitated. Finally he broke down and lost it. When we asked him what was wrong, we found the he more than anything wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, which he could always see off in the distance, but no matter which nook or cranny of the pavilion we went down, he could never get to it. In this picture you can see that of course the reason is that they have placed it on the roof and used forced perspective to make it look bigger than it is. So we went back to get as close to the tower as we could. Eventually we made it to the gift shop in the back of the Pavilion and explained our dilemma to Cast Member. She was so nice and took us out the back door where we could see the tower on the roof right above us. Of course from this angle, the forced perspective illusion was lost and it looked very unimpressive, but our son was thrilled to finally have gotten to see it up close nevertheless. I know CM's are not supposed to let the public backstage as it destroys the magic, but kudos to this CM who realized that bringing us backstage gave us one of our MOST magical experiences.

Not assuming actually. That's part of the queue.SW:GE question-
So, it seems we're assuming that the circular structure on the battle attraction is the load/unload area.
For the Falcon attraction, there appear to be 4 circular foundations. I'm going off memory, but I feel like there were only 2 foundations in Disneyland. I believe the reporting is that these foundations are a continuous loading simulator/projection show of some sort?
So does this mean that HS is getting twice the capacity as Disneyland? Or am I forgetting/reading too much into what foundation is what?

There are also four in Disneyland. It is a continuously loading simulator.
