Good points, but I don’t see how some orange and green banners count as theming. Sure, they tie the ride into Killarney’s aesthetic better, but they don’t do anything to explain why there’s a giant steel swing set in the corner of the hamlet.

I actually had someone throw up on me on one of these things, so thank you for saving other people the experience.
Yeah because the blinking plastic orb and floating tractor don't do a good job on their own.
You're right a lot of people wouldn't, as anyone in the customer service industry will tell you. But signs help for many reasons, in a long enough line people will get bored and read them. So while it's not 100% necessary in this case, it would explain a thing or two to those who want to read while in line.
Though FF's line, while full is never very long. I personally don't mind the flags, but that's prolly because I'm so used to Festa's theming that I just accepted what it is.

Nobody has to read them, but for guests who are preconditioned to expect some level of theming from the park’s major attractions, this would at least satisfy that need.
I think Finnegan's is as themed as the park's other newer major flat ride... Mach Tower. Meaning it has a vaguely thematic name and some flags.
Well, Mäch Tower is in a carnival themed section so a carnival ride makes sense there.
Just got back and rode FF for the first time. It was a fantastic ride and a perfect addition to the park, that's all I'm saying about it.
EDIT: When I was in line with my dad, a small square piece of wood from the ceiling fell, hit a ceiling fan, and fell near me which spooked some people. Hmm, is it a omen I wonder?

The OP said the queue for the ride was full though..
When they run with a single arm, do they use one less ride op? Maybe it's simply that someone called in sick and they don't have enough certified people yet.

Yes but if the ride queue is full with only a single arm then the it wouldn't be very full with both arms running. It seems to me that they made a decision to only run it at half capacity for the day. Probably in an effort to have fewer people staffing it. Or also possibly what you said they don't have enough people there today who are trained to operate it.
