ESRLoop

To be fair there were a few nights I remember running out of road wheels at Goliath when we still had a 2+ hour wait after closing... causing a lot of very angry people to not be allowed to ride.

When I worked at SFMM in the early 2000's the queues closed at park closing - as long as you got in line before park closing we were supposed to allow you to ride. I remember this made for some very long nights at Goliath it's first season... especially when maintenance had run out of road wheels!

My understanding is there will be *some* theme, albeit not on the level of GCH or WDW's better themed resorts, but still a step up from PPH or DLH. The concept art is more illustrative of the location and integration with DTD than firm theme concepts. As you point out part of the purpose of the project is creating a more seamless resort experience (both thematically and functionally) and the new hotel's theme is expected to flow with an overall resort theme.
