Disney Crowd Control Center

I mentioned the science of queuing theory here recently.   In the late 70's I had a chance to meet with scientists at Disney theme parks to talk crowd control.  As you might expect they were very interested in the dynamics of crowds as augmented by lines.   I was convinced they were the most advanced in this realm, combining both mathematical and psychological principals.  They have advanced, as is indicated by this recent NYT article.
