As a lefty and someone who wanted to be a teacher, I’m really conscious of penmanship. Took me a long time to do whiteboards and chalkboards well.
Disney had a few last September when I was there but whoever did it took their time and made it look nice.
But why don't they have it be like the road signs where part of the sign is changeable? So like each ride will have its own sign but they can change the sign to say "temporarily closed" or "reduced capacity" or "closed due to weather" etc. , if you get what I mean.
That doesn’t apply at all to the vast, vast majority of BGW’s handwritten signs, which are for long-term or repeatable messages like “This ride opens at 11” or “This ride closes at 8.” They could even add a little magnetic section to swap the times if necessary — they already do this for showtimes at the theaters. The benefit of having an in-park sign shop is that they can, you know, make signs.
Again, I don’t disagree with what you are saying and yes agree there should be printed signs for repeated issues good to go.
Or, hear me out, do what other parks do utilize a little thing called spieling to communicate this information. For example, at universal I’ve heard for Flight of the Hippogriff: “Due to circumstances beyond our control, Flight of the Hippogriff is running on a reduced capacity. This may lead to a longer wait time than usual, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for you patience.”
Never has one photo summed up why I cancelled by Busch pass at the start of the year. They have fallen so far.
In that instance a sign is acceptable, or when they update the app and the wait times, add a note along the lines of
I would have to imagine that would get pretty annoying hearing it over and over in the multiple-hours-long queue that that ride would get if running only one train. And yeah, people with reduced hearing capabilities wouldn't get the memo. A sign at the entrance to the queue does a much better job.
