Possible and plausible are often very different things.
The current pace isn’t that fast. You’re falling into a common trap. There are phases of work where it is much easier to see changes but they are not indicative of an accelerated timeline.
no phase can be more quickly done than outright (indiscriminate) demo
”Intent to Visit” reasons will likely spread these out to maximize revenue.
Agreed. And this makes the early closure of MV3D even more frustrating. At worst, it could have had a Dino-to-Indy timeline. 3+ years to switch out a 3D show is asinine, especially in a park that desperately needs capacity.
DHS has a better capacity than AK. I agree they should have left Muppets up as long as possible... but it's not as critical to the park as Dinosaur is to AK.
Except once you compare reliability. DAK's attractions are rather reliable. DHS's headliners are constantly down.
It does make me question the timeline - it could open within the same year as Tropicals but do they want that?
I also agree. I'd have to give more credit to the audience that declared MV3D closed mostly to reduce operational expenses with such a large gap from closing to reopening.
Better capacity does not mean it's fine either. Both are terrible, one is just slightly more terrible.
I know that we are talking “on paper ride capacity” but that’s not how Disney parks exist in real life - DAK is a much better designed park and has much more realistic capacity than DHS.
DHS actually probably has decent A-B tier capacity between Villain's, BATB, Indy, Frozen, Mickey shorts, Disney Jr, and Mermaid. (this is where muppets fits)
The D/E tier attraction capacity needs some help. I'm really hoping Encanto will be on the scale of a D ticket.
“Suggested interior work” is a good development.
That’s why I mentioned Dino-to-Indy’s timeline. This is a much more extensive interior remodel than we’ve seen with Zootopia, so it certainly needs more than 6 months to bake. But not 3 years…they’ll convert Dino to Indy faster. I don’t know whether that makes me upset about this project or concerned about Indy.
I'm confused, didn't we know a theatre show was happening? In other words, we knew this new land would add a net new attraction (door coaster).
Does it count as a net add if the new show is the same quality as Zoogether? How about if it’s a glorified meet n greet?
Judging an attraction that hasn’t been constructed yet isn’t something I spend time on. Math is math. Whether they are quality is a whole other discussion for a later time.
