It's not actually a requirement for someone to die in order for it to be a criminal act you know. ;) In this case I think it's simply that the prosecution is via the Health & Safety Executive (it would after all be a workplace safety violation so not a police matter) and they are proceeding at...

If that was an isolated case maybe but the trend for Muppets was down. The two weeks prior to that it was 1.21 and 1.19. And in those four weeks, only once were they head to head against a Christmas special (Rudolph). The trend is bad and there was no real sign that the bleeding had stopped...

Successful but not really a hit. It's heavily supported by being part of the Avengers franchise but it's not the tentpole of that franchise. It does better than Castle or Nashville so it keeps getting renewed, but it pales compared to a real hit like Scandal. However, again those averages are...

Those ratings are a bit misleading because they're an average. Muppets started out incredibly strong but dropped like a stone and it's not clear if the show has found its level yet. Currently it's doing considerably less than that average suggests. They're not horrible ratings, but I suspect the...

Generally speaking it's the other way round. Parents are usually happy to pay for someone, anyone to take their kids away!

For me it's not the shaking and more about the being tipped sideways/upside down. That's the problem with defining things like "intensity" when it comes to rides.

Well again personal tastes. At 40" you're excluding probably the 5 and unders? My 9 year olds were both happy doing Transformers as was I. And again, I don't do "intense". No coasters, no big drops, I didn't even do Forbidden Journey.

I was going to dispute this but then I realized that you're basically listing Islands of Adventure rides so it may be pretty accurate for that park. In Studios though I think Minions, Simpsons and Transformers are all pretty family friendly. And that's from someone who doesn't do coasters at all.

In fact when in any of the original movies was there the slightest sign she cared about her appearance? I guess the one scene when she's in her "Princess" role at the end of the original Star Wars? People keep referencing the bikini scene, but up... she was a prisoner and slave at the time, it...

Apparently Disney negotiated a better split for The Force Awakens. It's also hard to look at the movies in isolation any more because some of those marketing costs also boost the toy sales, book sales, comic sales etc.

There's not really Iger's strategy so much as the current Hollywood strategy.

Well you can charge a lot more if you allow kids to be dropped off. Even without it I think people would go for it. I mean I take my kids to the local Pump It Up which is the same basic concept on a smaller scale and without any characters. If people will pay for generic inflatable slides and...

It's the internet. People whine and cry over just about anything...

Sure, people pay for that all over the country already. Amp up the scale, add the Disney IPs and let parents drop their kids off for an hour or so. It would be hugely popular.

And what he did was sell them. His choice.
