A few blocks down, we wander to Ana's club pick, Studio SP (Rua Inácio Pereira da Rocha 170) — innocuous entrance, small queue, huge bouncer.
A new entrance and queueing area was built for Iron Dragon because the new stage occupies the old queue and entrance area.
Bouncers identified 24 different locations where interventions began and these locations were recoded into ten different categories: bars (near the serving bars), restrooms, around the dance floor, the dance floor, the entrance door (queuing), areas of movement (aisles, stairs), the balcony, shady areas (low lights), the lounge and outside the barroom.
A signpost directs customers who consider themselves "rich" up a red carpet to the entrance, while the queue of "poor" – many, in fact, homeless – people winds around the side of the building.
The entrance area and queue are modeled after the Fortress of Solitude, Superman's headquarters.
At some point in the mid 1990s this stand was removed and replaced with vending machines as seen in the queue entrance photo.
The ride has no maximum weight limit, and riders can test whether the attraction accommodates their size using test seats at the queue entrance and again at the end of the queue, which are equipped with red, yellow, and green lights that indicate whether the rider can be accommodated.
The city's grand dame of a castle has also recently benefitted from a makeover, and while its cathedral may lack the lofty reputation of Seville's, it also lacks the hefty entrance price and queues.
Queue Dursleys entrance stage right.
The Abbey, with its enormous peaked arches and elegant altar, has all the Gothic charm of a continental European cathedral, and more than merits the hefty entrance fee and serpentine queue.
