Actually I saw about a 20-30% leave ratio without going in on Sunday
afternoon of the openning. 

After being told I could not even take a look inside without standing
in the registration line, and checking their "10 minute" wait with people
who had been in line for 30-40 minutes; bagged it.

Other than a small cloud of burned rubber at the exit of the parking lot,
did not bother to let them know my opinion.  I may look in a couple of 
months, but have heard no incentive to go out of my way.
