Wasn’t there a bunch of money added to the budget for extra attractions? Where’d that go?

Something had to line the pockets of Chinese government officials.Wasn’t there a bunch of money added to the budget for extra attractions? Where’d that go?

Didn't a lot of stuff have to be started all over because Disney caught onto the construction companies cutting costs and doing things in a sub-standard fashion?Wasn’t there a bunch of money added to the budget for extra attractions? Where’d that go?

I think the primary change was an outdoor stunt lagoon to the indoor theatre attraction. Something that was felt to be more amenable to the climate, it wasn't a 'cut', but a 'change'.
Also I don't know why this artwork is being passed off as a new find, we were analyzing it years ago here.

Netflix is very serious about becoming an equal to Disney in animation.

Strictly as a cover up for cost over-runs and a delayed opening. The same thing now going on in Beijing, unfortunately.

Also, if anyone is interested in the development of the E-ticket this presentation is great and very insightful!

Which is great from a product perspective, I think they've found so much success with DreamworksTV that they see some real profit opportunities.
Netflix won't be able to keep spending at this rate so at some point there will be this weird wild Netflix Recession and that point gets closer every day.

The outdoor show was cut quite early in the development.

Yeah, I know. Just felt like snarkily bringing it back up

I wouldn't use the word "cut" per se (at least until someone corrects me
). Whenever Imagineering starts with an attraction/land, they dream as big as possible without any regard to a budget. The first piece of artwork was likely drawn up before any budget was in place.

Disney’s currently pushing the following films for consideration this awards season:
Black Panther
Avengers: Infinity War
Incredibles 2
Wreck-It Ralph
Mary Poppins Returns
Every film but Avengers is being put up for Best Picture; I think Disney wants to keep that Marvel honor for Black Panther- which holy flip has a ton of actors that Disney wants considered for Best Supporting Actor.
Were you a male actor in Black Panther? There’s a chance that you are being considered for Best Supporting Actor... but will lose the nomination to Michael B. Jordan.

Infinity War deserves the consideration for Best Picture just as much if not more than Black Panther. Mary Poppins will likely be the one with an actual nomination though.

Stan Lee died today.

Over time, I hope that Disney finds ways to celebrate folks like Stan Lee and George Lucas in the same ways they celebrate Walt and Roy.
But today is a very sad day.

Very sad. Hopefully he was surrounded by people that actually cared for him and not the monstrous leeches I’ve been reading and hearing about.
Sad day for all Marvel fans. He will be missed.

Jack Kirby died in 1994, that was the real talent lost. Stan? Not so much.

She did some great work (Cars Land, Splash Mountain) and some not so great work (The Seas with Nemo & Friends.) It does make one wonder who will get the DHS portfolio now, Trowbridge?
