My only theory is that because it’s not the longest in terms of duration, and Revenge of The Mummy is “longer”, this was the result of compromise during arbitration with Universal.

I find it very strange that they are not claiming the "longest indoor roller coaster on earth" award loudly and proudly. They obviously have it by a long-shot. If we believe that length, it is also the longest coaster in Florida.
They sell the experience, not the technology. Almost all of Disney's E-tickets are the first use of that technology.
Sure, but it is worth pointing out a record-breaking coaster. They used to market RnRC’s “0 to 60 in 2.8 flat” launch and that wasn’t even a record.
They did originally market this as the largest indoor coaster. They haven't in awhile, but they have done it.
Interesting, I hadn't seen that
This tweet was put out on a Disney media day for example:
Longest is an objective criteria and nobody would have standing to sue even if there was some question. This is definitely up there for nonsense concocted to reflexively defend Disney.
I wasn't trying to defend Disney here at all. There is no reason to. Nor did I really try. They pay a ton of marketers a hell of a lot of money to come up with a market/ad campaign, and considering the crowds and attendance that they get, i take their approach over the armchair internet warriors here. Neither Disney nor I consider the unsupportable ramblings of internet nerds to be "attacks" worth defending. Disney markets things how the data and marketing companies tell them to I will give them the benefit of the doubt on how they decide to do it.
The company has shown us how little they care about sightlines now. I wouldn’t expect much but perhaps they’ll plant some trees when they are done with the construction.
The landscaping should start soon
It is the longest indoor roller coaster in feet, inches, meters, finger-widths, lightyears, au, parsecs, cubits, or hands.
Which should certainly help a lot, but it's kind of difficult to mitigate the box that towers over Storybook Circus now, especially with what I assume is a necessary water retention pond making it difficult to add anything significant just beyond the railroad tracks.
It's easy, dynamite and a terrible fireworks accident......
Ponds can be moved, but the best time to do it would have been years ago. It’s also something we’d most likely know about beforehand since such work would require permission from the South Florida Water Management District.
