So, remember when it was announced that Disneyland will follow in Disney California Adventure's footsteps and implement a fast pass system for Fantasmic!
A lot of people on the internet mentioned that the area will look nice once again as the Fast Pass prevents the "campers" to hold spots hours before the first show.

Well...

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Frontierland, Fantasmic!, FastPass, Fast, Pass, Viewing
... How is this any better?

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Frontierland, Fantasmic!, FastPass, Fast, Pass, Viewing
They set up the Fantasmic! viewing hours before the first show starts

So the whole time, you are still walking in tight walkways.
This hasn't freed up any more space than the "campers" did.
