Uhm, the average guest will care when they have to stand in the direct sun for the 60-120 minutes they spend in that queue. That's going to make for a lot of unhappy guests on a busy park day.
I'm also adopting the "wait and see", but I'm leaning on the potential blunder side of the argument.
Although frankly, I'd never get in a 2+ hour line, no ride is worth it.
I agree shade would be nice. And when those trees grow they will provide some nice shade. But to say there will be a lot of unhappy guests as a result, not if you look at the history of UO queues. MIB used to regulary put people in the second half of the extended queue (no shade), Cat in the hat used to have and use an exteded queue where the stage is now (no shade), Most of Rockit's queue has no shade, Spider-Man used to regularly put people in their extended queue and sometimes still do (no shade), and of course the Transformers street queue.
People who come to a theme park during a busy period in Florida expect to wait and expect it to be hot.
And I agree, no 2+ hour line is worth it, come back. But as a local I understand I have that luxury that others might not (kids in school, ect). But the vast majority of those people that come at busy times know that they're not the only ones with the bright idea to come to Florida on vacation.
