Seems to me that there has been a lot of "upside" (for lack of a better word) in the top-end spending guests that they are only now squeezing out with things like the Lightning Lane Premier Pass. We went from FastPass being free to a full on premium product at an extremely high price point that...
Have to say streaming is pretty safe. Their subscriber losses were overseas on lower priced plans. They can't go too crazy with price hikes, but they have found a nice level where streaming is safely profitable.
Don't know if I see the growth to make up the erosion of cable for the bottom...
This is... a very good idea actually. It would be a net benefit to both parks.
I am assuming there will be a path to Villains from Fantasyland (there is no way such a popular future land will be a dead end, and making another entrance by big thunder isn't really efficient when one will be right...
Hadn't thought of it before, but a Villains stop makes a lot of sense. Biggest thing is the cost of adding a new station, which obviously could hold it back, and honestly the direction of the RR. Would actually make more sense to have one if the RR ran counterclockwise, as the walk from...
Think that there will likely be something there, as the rest of the area is simply too small for a land with 2 major attractions, though most likely a show building(s) that can still operate when the fireworks show is going.
I feel like Star Tours is very safe, despite my memory being that the initial speculation it would go away in both parks with Galaxy's Edge. It has not only endured, but thrived with nearly yearly additions to the ride. The technology isn't as thrilling when it first debuted, but it is a...
I really like Dinosaur, but the Indy and overall retheme makes a lot of sense. Dinoland doesn't really fit in with the rest of the park (which is my favorite designed of all WDW parks).
I would love in the future to have a big budget dinosaur land back in AK, but that likely requires a...
Hopefully they do build the playground no matter where it is, but unsure where that would go. MV is a pretty big building (over 20k sq ft) so if they do tear it down, there would have a lot of space so it could be there. The two pieces of concept art definitely conflict with each other and don't...
I would think putting it in Muppets Courtyard would allow them to keep the MV building (it would cost a lot to tear down and rebuild something there, it also doesn't make sense to rebuild a coaster show building since it would likely tower over the lower GE rockwork in that corner) I don't think...
I do think there will be a pretty significant attempt to create a new berm for this with trees and a trench. It certainly hurts the sightlines the most from LS since it is attempting to tie-in more with Big Thunder's aesthetic.
I would bet it operates a decent amount but not particularly close to max capacity. I would agree that Monster's is likely gonna draw in more than any gain in actual capacity. Which is why AC is the best place for it, you will certainly gain real capacity.
I really think this is the wrong way...
Yeah, definitely possible to start construction on the attraction first . Though that would be close to the exit of MV (assuming the studio store is being used for a portion of the queue).
What do we think re: capacity? Vekoma's Family Suspended model has 650 per hour capacity (assuming 2 train ops at 20 seats per train). This looks like it will have 2 dual loading stations (only one track through the attraction though). That being said with enough block breaks you probably could...
