You all aren't paying any attention to what i'm saying. What I am saying is sometimes its smart to get rid of old rides for new ones because of diminishing returns. This has nothing to do with risk of building new rides. I've been trying to politely explain this for like 3 pages now, which...

There's a difference between being able to afford something just because you have the money, and making a good investment.

That's actually not what I said at all.

Just got back home today from an Orlando trip (hence why I haven't posted in months but been posting a lot today) and have to say Pandora is absolutely brilliant. I clearly remember a moment standing outside the entrance of Animal Kingdom, off to the side near the restrooms, it was kinda dark...

You are completely ignoring what I just said, but ok.

Yea...I mean that's why WDW has way more than any other Disney property: 4 parks, 2 waterparks, by far the biggest [Downtown Disney type thing], ESPN, and by far the most hotels. Just because WDW has higher attendance because it is the flagship Disney vacation spot doesn't make the law of...

Basically what i'm trying to say is that yes, obviously they have enough space to build whatever anyone could possibly want. However a lot of times it makes sense to take things out to build things because when you add the additional operating cost on top of what was already there it's too much...

Also a lot of times rides aren't updated are because they are on the chopping block. I'm sure Backlot Tour, Universe of Energy, Imagination, etc have been on the chopping block for a long time. However with New Fantasyland, Avatar, Toy Story, and Star Wars, these projects are all purposely...

No they would still replace them because the cost to operate passes the point of diminishing returns.

The difference is you are talking about what you want the park to do, and I am talking about diminishing returns.

Replacing rides instead of adding more is because of diminishing returns, not space. Obviously they have enough space to build whatever anyone could possibly want. That's a pretty important thing to consider when you run a business that employs literally tens of thousands of people. Obviously...

/\ Considering people can book Fastpasses so far in advance that's not really an option anymore. Anyway if it does close it's long overdue. I like the building and queue but the ride is kind of a joke.

Sounds like something that would be a guaranteed hit with "merch fans"

Not gonna lie i'm pretty sure Michael Colglaizer & Co. are laughing at the fact that they had such an awesome new parade and decided to bring back a crappy, old, outdated parade, knowing that people would flock in just to see it for nostalgia purposes. Then after a while could bring back Paint...

Yea but in Disney's defense the company has more IP now than ever, is way more successful now than ever, and the strategy is clearly working. The point the guy was trying to make was that the branded products are what people want, you can't argue that they are raking in huge cash. You can't...

The lunar rover was on loan from the smithsonian when the ride was new, and the one currently in the queue is a replica. I've seen the real one in both Mission Space's line and at the smithsonian which was pretty neat.

Charging more for (at least what is perceived as) a benefit like preferred parking is basically free money. This could actually be a pretty funny study into the human condition. If you look at preferred parking everywhere it is offered: theme parks, sporting events, other random touristy...

Since the park hasn't ran out of parking or hit capacity yet, I think it's safe to say Star Wars will be a busier opening day (because lets be serious we all know that will happen at like 9am on SW opening day. That being said Avatar is clearly a huge success and can stand on its own. 60+...

I'm going to take this opportunity to remind everyone how relentlessly chewed out I got by 90% or so of the people on this forum for suggesting (years ago) that this area might actually be successful. Looks like it's doing a pretty decent job drawing people to the park, and getting spectacular...

Hey what do you know, this area is going to be good! Nobody would have thought that reading these forums a few years ago (except for me and a few other people that got relentlessly picked on).
