Per reliable insiders the speed of construction has been ramped up after ops got mad at the higher ups. Toy Story is scheduled for 2017 and Star Wars for 2018 and construction for both starts in January.
In this new day & age of theme park attractions, excellent queues are essential if a attraction is to be considered top quality. As Teebin says, "a queue that is an attraction in itself". I enjoy a really good queue as much as the attractions. I'll often actually hope for at least a 30 minute wait on Forbidden Journey so I can enjoy the ambiance & entertainment of the queue without people rushing past me. On Mummy, I skip my Express Pass line and experience the standby queue. Gringotts queue equals the ride also.The Simpsons queue videos are so good I always hope for the slow line. At WDW the Under the Sea queue probably trumps the ride itself. Tower of Terror sets the mood and ambiance of the attraction. (Just a few examples, there's many more great queues) The days of standing outside Disneyland queues (except for IJ and a few others) is over if an attraction is to be considered world class. I applaud Universal Creative for the entertaining queues that are as essential as the attractions themselves.
Some are well known artists. They leave a SIG like a painter and people travel to see their work. It's easier than you might think.
I have a ton of young nephews & nieces that have done a real job on their parents' walls with crayons. Would that help you?
... ...Seriously though, as the above poster indicates, there are a number of these people that are almost considered professionals. We had one here in Pittsburgh that kept escaping the authorities for years. His work defaced but it was beautiful. But, in the community, everyone knew who he was but they protected his identity. Sort of like a modern day Vincent Van Gogh radical painter.
