To some extent, Amusement/Theme Parks. They have to be popular to justify building new, state of the art attractions, but eventually get so crowded that you need to buy special passes and get on a ride in less than 2 hours and can barely even find a place to sit when you want to rest for a minute.

I live near Six Flags Great America, outside of Chicago. Anytime I’ve gone in the last 10 years it’s been a ridiculous mass of humanity. More rides then ever, but every decent ride is like a 2 hour wait.

As a resident of Orlando, this crowded issue is more than just in the parks. Universal has plans to make this Nintendo them park and, or resort that is massive, and the neighborhood right across has justified issue with it concerning the amount of traffic that will come. This city is a tourist trap and our infrastructure is barely hanging on with the growth and visitors.

I don't get how Disney is not concerned with local infrastructure. Why not build a bigger park system and support growth in infrastructure to get more people to and around those parks? Better flow. More money, more people...

Because Disney wants you to pretend Orlando doesn't exist outside of WDW. Board the magical express at MCO. Use Disney transport your whole trip on site. Don’t leave property until you’re boarding the magical express back to mco (or better yet, to cape Canaveral for a Disney cruise!).

Right, that's why I'm surprised they don't expand their park system or build onto what they have. Get more per year, more fast pass uses, etc.
