    News TRON Lightcycle Run Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    It's still a LLSP. They'll dial it in over the next few months for the holiday rush.

    News TRON Lightcycle Run Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    I think the number one feature of the boarding group system is to avoid a really stinky pain point in operations: the ride shuts down for an indefinite delay when the guest is 2 hours into a 2.25 hour wait time. This happens a lot with new attractions. when new attractions achieve an acceptable...

    News TRON Lightcycle Run Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    This also has the potential to see significant number of guests to self select into biasing their days at MK later and change the makeup of park egress hour by hour, which will improve the park experience for just about everyone. I still think CR will stay VQ for the same reason Tron needed to...

    News New Villains Show Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025

    I think the third announcement that's not that big would be a new Disney Jr show, but can't remember if Wondrous China exists but is still not released. Feel like if the film is made, no better time to throw it in there than 2025.

    News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Not exactly on this topic, but there are 4 smaller pads that are more likely to get a new attraction before any actual expansion: Stitch pad, Speedway pad, Galaxy Palace Theater Pad, Adventureland pad. The next new attraction at MK after Villains will go in one of those places.

    News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Yeah, most charitably it would be a nontrivial engineering challenge to get a guest path behind IASW from Village Haus; the guest path would actually be more of a bridge over the utilidor entrance area until you get around the back and then get to the grade. Plus you would be adding a guest path...

    Market closing is incidental; Friday afternoons are just popular news dumps.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I think the biggest economic effect you could see for these capital projects would be the Fed’s rate cuts over the next year not going in Disney’s direction.

    News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    The cope in my head is that all of the money spent on terraforming the northwest corner of the park will demand a return on investment that they won’t be able to justify backing off of during mediocre at worst economic conditions. It would take a once-in-a-century-shock to the world to halt it...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    next Friday would be the real primo news dump; Friday rolling into a 3-day weekend and football season.

    News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    All projects announced at the event will either open by 2031 or end up canceled 2-3 years before that. They will open Tropical Americas, they will open the Avengers Campus and Coco rides, they will open Monstropolis on the DHS campus, and they will fill RoA and put Cars there. Roughly in that...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    If you ever went to a theme park owned and operated by the Busch Entertainment Corporation (the theme park subsidiary owned by Anheuser-Busch before the hostile takeover) you'll know what it's supposed to be like. Just needed to make more money than it lost and the family kept it humming pretty...

    Avengers Campus at Hollywood Studios... Food for Thought

    We'll see what happens in the next few years. I think it's no worse than 50/50 Sox Flags will maintain the DC and Looney Tunes licenses but they might cede national exclusivity and open the door for Universal to pick it up in Florida. I think what would make it joining in less attractive for...

    Avengers Campus at Hollywood Studios... Food for Thought

    This is really fascinating to me to speculate on. I'm not saying that you will see Marvel Super Hero Island become Gotham City Island but a lot can change in the various industries in 10 years. 10 years ago there were 6 Star Wars movies. 10 years ago, Diagon Alley just opened. 10 years ago there...

    News 2023 TEA/AECOM Global Attendance Report, EPCOT Sees Significant Growth

    Is there surveying of GSAT for someone's overall day at a park? It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if that is measured, EPCOT scores higher than Studios and DAK by a whole standard deviation.

    News 2023 TEA/AECOM Global Attendance Report, EPCOT Sees Significant Growth

    Fascinating to me that combined WDW attendance has still not recovered to 2013 levels. Wonder if you asked guests who have been there in the last two years and 10 years ago if they feel that way?

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I think it's a poor show quality attraction but as I have shouted a bunch of times into the void, it is a popular attraction at DHS in an outsized way. It's not even really astute business to unshelve the Door Coaster, it's basic supply and demand. Pretty fun imagining the what-ifs of DHS if...

    I think if they could go back in time they would have given it a closing date of on or around January 15, 2024

    News 2023 TEA/AECOM Global Attendance Report, EPCOT Sees Significant Growth

    DHS is just such an unpleasant place to be compared to EPCOT.
