I was kinda of close.. you'll see in the video I can and cannot confirm I'll post..
But yeah the closeness worked out. I was literally rubbing my balls on this girls ass for an hour.
Then when a bubble opened up in front she didn't move up, she moved back more.
But that aside the crowd wasn't as bad as BP 16. There were only the occasional groups that passed through like assholes but they actually passed through and didn't linger and invade space.
