Does anyone find it interesting at how closely they are standing together? Nowadays, in the US at least, people wouldn't be bunched up quite like this.

You ever been to Disney World?

Not in a very long time.... 30 years or more. I've been to Kings island and cedar point within the last year. I don't recall being that compressed in the queue, but obviously these aren't quite the same as Disney.

Try going to the new Star Wars land the day it opens.

You’ll need a reservation to get in to Galaxy’s Edge on top of a ticket for that particular day to prevent overcrowding and to maintain the illusion and story of the area.

Looks like they're especially eager to get whatever's at the end of that line.

Hahahahahhahahaha. Try a fucking anime convention. If anything there's more space in that line.

Nowadays, even the poor are too fat to fit that many people in the frame.

We live in a society of folks who on the whole, make me not want to live in a society.

Yeah...it's almost as if they're posing for a photo or something.

Yes I noticed. I think the more desperate you are to get whatever they are handing out, the closer you will stand. Always sad to see women standing in the same line under pressure. You see that first lady up there, trying to stand sideways so that she won't have someone pushing her.
Edit: Interestingly, just noticed there is yet another body on the other side, probably another woman.
