Queueing is a major problem for themepark operators like Disney.
Today’s invention is a way to help alleviate several of the difficulties (and is inspired by the type of child’s high chair which converts into a trolley/table).
For a small additional fee, groups of queuers could rent a set of seats, mounted on a rolling platform. This would pivot upwards from the side, once everyone was safely strapped in and allow occupants a better view of the cleverly designed surroundings.
Such a solution also provides a convenient resting place for eg a family whilst they are served a meal (possibly by waiters on stilts).
In addition to easing the waiting process, this has the effect of apparently shortening the queues.
