So you’re telling me Disney Parks is paying Disney Animation to use Tiana in an attraction? I guess anything is possible but that just sounds silly.
I think it’s probably likely they do, common practice in most businesses I see. Helps you analyze at a smaller level, not much more. It all gets eliminated in consolidation.
That accounting was de rigueur in the movie business and is a way to shift money between divisions
The track is fixed but they could alter speed. Within reason. Slower is always fine. The high speed loop was actually designed to tolerate speeds greater than 65 mph.
I’m not saying they will. Just that they could. We can see the cars testing are not going appreciably faster or slower than before.
It's also a way to value different parts of the company separately for the purposes of potential sales or spinoffs of parts. Not that I'm speculating either for Disney but all corporations want to be prepared just in case something comes up in the future.
It used to be more of a two-way street where the film divisions would pay for new entertainment in the parks the promote films (new parades, M&Gs, one-day events).
If You Had Wings!
That's another great way of looking at it! I get that we all want to see physical sets and AA's all around us in that building (and in every ride), but you're absolutely right.
Even Halloween starts in August at Disney.
Just because the screens look better doesn't mean they stopped applying them too much or using them as a crutch above all else. Battle at the Ministry is actually a great example of that, and I think we're in for a bad time at Test Track if it uses half the amount of screens that it does
GM is now lower case gm because reasons.
It's a 26 year old ride, I would really hope it's not VQ or ILL
