I unfortunately agree. USF, like Epcot, can thrive off of special events like HHN, Mardi Gras and the holidays. Epic Universe needing a capacity boost is unfortunately a pressing priority.

At the moment, WDW is receiving major expansions 2 full new large lands (at MK) and two half new/half repurposed lands at DAK and DHS. I think UOR is more than capable of doing that at their parks as well. USF - Prioritize a new E-ticket attraction at the scale of Monsters/Ministry to give the...

I got heat for saying this years ago, but I honestly would have preferred IOA and USF to be built out. USF would be a killer park with Ministry, SNW and Monsters. IOA could have gotten HTTYD. My hope is that UOR sees the value in improving its existing parks and we see improvements sooner...

I wish, but the park is struglging with operating rides efficiently. The math doesn't make sense for Stardust to be a 120 min wait with a capacity of ~2,300 guests an hour, while Monsters Unchained with a capacity of ~2,100 guests is a 45 min wait.

Today is looking like the "busiest" day wait-time wise. Unsure if attendance has increased or if their just having issues. Stardust being a 120 wait, is suggesting operational difficulties since it has 2.4K in capacity. This park was severely underbuilt when it comes to capacity, and the...

Last week when all passholders were unblocked.

Ate at Tiffins last week to take advantage of AP promos... and surprisingly it was empty? I know Tiffins struggles at Dinner time, but I would have assumed the 40% discount would do a good job at getting APs inside the door.

They're being very lenient on comp tickets. Not sure how long it'll last. Talking about Express... I think they should have never offered until later this year. The park already struggles enough, and once rides go back in operation, it creates a horrendous express to standby ratio. There's a...

I've been reading through the Epic Universe reviews, and I doubt any podcaster doing such a thing will impact the overall review significantly. The general consensus of Epic Universe is that it's a creative success. People are applauding the rides, shows and creative design of each land. The...

The only way I see CoP getting a proper refurbishment is if they can find a way to increase ridership. The only concept I can think of that isn't just a simple refresh or IP-focused show, is a show hosted by Walt Disney utilizing the new animatronic in different forms. I think this is a good...

While I'm a fan of the current CoP, it certainly needs refurb desperately. Do I see Disney investing the amount of cash required to do a proper enhancement? No. So putting a Walt animatronic and marketing the show as The Carousel of Progress with Walt Disney, might get approved.

HHN prices over the years in the chart below. HHN is why I'm such a devoted theme park fan, but prices are starting to become absurd. Their multi-night tickets were undervalued for quite some time, but they've become costly. Meanwhile, the event itself has had a rough patch lately with less...

I'll get heat over this, but I wouldn't mind if they brought Walt's Animatronic (pending how well they do that) as a host for a new version of the Carousel of Progress. With a City of Tomorrow/Progress City/Epcot finale.

I was excited to see that outside the issues with capacity and weather issues I was expecting, the park is a success in every other way. I'm really hoping they can alleviate this sooner than later. Creative success, operations are rough.

Take Cosmic Rewind as an example, there's far more people experiencing it in a day than Energy adventure did. An in-demand attraction will always improve capacity at the park. Assume that the Cars Road Rally (excluding the 2nd attraction for now) has an hourly capacity of 1,440 guests an hour...
