I think that practically all of us would agree that themed queues on an attraction make the wait time go by more quickly. Two major cases in point: Haunted Mansion and Indy.
I am surprised that only a few of the attractions at DCA utilize a themed queue. Recently we went to Monsters Inc. and had about a 45 minute wait. Other than the facade of doors at the entry, and the theming when you are about to board your taxi, it was a long boring queue. And most of it is without any protection from the sun. It seems to me that this is the perfect attraction for a built-in line theme: Doors.
You could pass through many "doors" while navigating the maze of queues and other doors could serve as sun shades above the line. This seems like a very easy (and inexpensive) installation. Also, more of the posters, which are all located in the "inside" queue area, could be scattered about outside, giving you some time to read them and enjoy their humor. Also music from the movie or perhaps sound effects could enhance the wait time experience.
Does anyone else have ideas for ways of improving the theming of queues for DCA and DL? This is a very creative group and I look forward to reading what you all will post.
