Ie if the line for a ride is an hour, they post a sign saying the wait time is 75 minutes, so you're happy to have waited "only" 60. And they're masters of hiding how much of the line is in front of you - Space Mountain being a good example. (And a ride that's worth the wait, btw!)

I'm sure Disney did not happen upon their visitor experience by accident. What do we know about how they do what they do? Would it be worthwhile to consider their strategies in exhibit and exhibition design?
