Two floors for guests in SNW. Anything above that in concept art is just for show, like to hold animated coins, clouds and koopas etc, viewable from inside the land, above the Yoshi ride.For SNW was it two floors or three floors? The concept art shows three different levels but I know Mario Kart was technically two levels.
Dinosaur animatronics or don’t bother.
Posing a interesting new idea,
If attractions (Rides and shows) were an hour and thirty minute to two hour experiences (as in not idly standing in line or waiting but an active participant), would there be an interest or would that be too much and too long?
BERK!As for potential roller coasters in the new park, it seems like F.L.Y at Phantasialand, world's first launched flying coaster, will have sit-down dark-ride portions in addition to the launches (there's also a lift-hill before the first launch, for whatever reason). It won't be long before this shows up in the States.
For those who are interested, here is the current layout for F.L.Y. with color-coded track. Via [ Bear ] on Coasterforce.
Flying track (red) | Sitdown track (black) | Lifthill (purple) | Launch (orange) | Brakes (blue) | Loading Station (light green) | Unloading Station (dark green)
BERK!

Way too long. Because what happens if there aren't enough people in line?
Remember Disaster, that took a while to go trough. After I had seen it a few times I didn't bother anymore.I think you didn't understand what I was getting at as people not being in line shouldn't effect it. In all honesty outside Express/Reception Area, no one should be standing in line longer than 10 minutes. Let me paint a picture because that was the easiest one I can think of to demonstrate my point. Each waiting area acts as an attraction in its on right and would have the ability to be bypassed depending on levels. It also helps even out the Express/Standby Numbers because Standby will actively have things to do for at least 40 minutes while Express bypasses that which will help out with the Standby vs Express distribution. I will paint an example using an IP underneath. It pretty much just a combination of Fallon, Gringotts, what Universal is doing with some of their temporary attractions in Japan, and the rumoured Star Wars attraction queue.
Example Ride: Pokemon Safari Zone Attraction
Reception Area [15 Minutes holding area): Bathrooms, lockers, Access control area. Can't be bypassed and shows Pokemon Movie/TV show clips
Waiting Area #1 [15-20 minutes/ time can be adjusted by Ride operators]: Interactive Pokemon Playground/Pokemon Contest show (5-10 minute duration) Signals the room switch by changing from Day to Night within the room.
- (Express Entrance Bypass)
Waiting Area #2: Pokemon Petting Zoo/Laboratory
Preshow #1: Pokemon History by The Professors
Preshow #2: Demonstration of the Starter Pokemon
Staging Areas: Pokedex issue/Pokeball issue/Tutorial
Interactive Pre-Rides: Flying to the Safari zone
Preshow #3 and Staging Area: Ride Safety Video
Ride Attraction/Child Swap Attraction: Pokemon Safari (Main Attraction)/Pokemon no height limit flat ride (Child Swap Attraction)
Post Ride Show-Returning of issued equipment and a thank you by Safari staff
Total Attraction Time:
Standby (Non Busy): 115 Minutes
Standby (Busy): 150 Minutes
Express: 75 minutes
I think it works possibly for certain things. If the ride line is constantly 2 hours long like Star Wars and I’m sure Nintendo/Pokémon will be it might be ok. I would never wait in a 2 hour standing line, but might that. The problem is this would still get backed up and have people fighting to get to the ride and not really sticking around.

Whay you are saying is how I see Diagon Alley. The whole area is an interactive playground with shows, shops, restaurants, toilets and a ride. Love it and I can easily stay there a few hours. But I'm not forced to do anything or be horded into a room/area I don't care for.
Here’s the thing about an attraction that long:
Parks don’t want you in them.
The longer you’re in a ride, the less time you’re on the street spending money
