They were also allowing media members to linger around for a while doing video shoots in the rooms. I am sure today they are moving through that room and getting people going pretty quickly.

Some of the POV videos of the preshow I watched were running from walking through the extended queue to boarding the main vehicles in about 15 minutes.
