Great video! For those wondering, it goes into queuing theory and complex systems theory and how they apply to wait times at theme parks, but honestly a lot of it could be applicable to an engineering tuning their load balancer or their app, or how to process a waitlist for your startup, or many other applications of queuing theory to an engineer.

I was thrilled to see the agent based models they glanced at, and the extensive micro simulation they performed to duplicate the patterns seen in the parks.

It's been a while since I did research in those areas, but brought me a smile seeing them in a 100% practical application.
