According to the New York Times, Disney (Orlando, Florida) has been busy over the past year.

Disney has been working on a few new advancements to help make the experience at Disney more enjoyable, as well as, more efficiant.
Under Cinderella's Castle, a "Control Center" has been added. Included, is a state of the art system that will alert the staff of congestion. There are monitors that show camera feed from different sections of the park. These cameras are set on main attractions, and they observe guest interaction. On the monitors, these attractions, as well as restaurants, will blink green, yello, or red for different levels of backup from low to high respectively. This way, when an attraction is experiencing a high level of activity, the park will be ready before it happens.
Disney will be able to open additional cash registers, add more coaster trains, or send a park character to entertain the waiting guests.
Finally, Disney has also added 87 video games each with a runtime of 90 seconds to the que line of Space Mountain.

The Staff at Disney expect this to be a major advancement, and they plan that this addition will keep their park ahead of the Technologic Curve.

Any thoughts? Read the article for more information.

For some reason I get the feeling that there's going to be more than 87 people in line for Space Mountain.

Hahaha Of course there will be, but it does seem like a lot considering they didn't have any before. I can see the little kids now, all of them fighting for their turn. Chaos.
