Probably a ship of theseus thing but the skeleton of that ride is one of the few things in the park largely undisturbed over the last 50 years. The ride might be on its 5th/6th version but it’s still the same bones. It persists because it punches above its weight for guest satisfaction vs...

I can’t speak authoritatively on the clearance and safety standards, but unlike BTM it’s not a track built onto a structure but a structure built over a track. It’s not an engineering challenge to replace the track and the general public I think are more attached to the idea of riding a roller...

Have they pulled the food discount lever? I remember when things were super soft in 2017 they were handing out 20% dining discounts like relative candy instead of the borderline insulting 10%

“Best” meaning what management was wiling to stomach financially. There is a world where you get the expansions announced while not losing RoA but there would be 1) significant capital costs added to the projects to adjust existing park infrastructure to accommodate future public access where...

I think maintaining the Liberty Belle and TSI as-is indefinitely is not a really great stroke of park management. I do not think there are any unique parts of either of these experiences that earn the nigh-encasing in amber you have on the CoP and IASW. I do think the company sees some...

fewer more obvious cases for addition by subtraction than just straight up removing that pedestal sign from 1994. i believe those signs are the last obvious 94 theming at the ground level.

Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management Again

Something i definitely wouldn’t expect them to do would be to figure out how to make its presence on Disney+ would be to make it feel like you are sitting in the theater and not just run the film. You need the AAs, actors, and 3D effects to get it to work.

Reasonably intense but unambiguously accessible is the approach to expect. Expedition Everest and Guardians are the model high end roller coasters for the company. I am pretty confident that whatever will be built will be in the vein of EE/MB.

I think it would reach into overselling if they started running billboard ads and tv commercials for new light up targets. Making some social media posts explaining why this is atypical refurb is fine. The language is a little goofy but whatever. I’m ambivalent on the ride as a whole; I have...

They have those still. Skyride as well but i think they took a long time to spin that back up post-covid. The three water rides are pretty mid level thrills imo, flying machine, scrambler, battering ram, teacups, are also pretty mid level thrills, and they have shows. I think the park really...

Slinky Dog Dash is pretty much why this is being built. It’s the most overtaxed ride in the park for capacity vs demand. You can get a lot more happy park guests if they can ride 1 of 2 popular family coasters in the park instead of 0 of 1.

Yeah, your mid-high season pre Star Wars had that reliably over 90 minutes all day.

you could in theory write up a great pre-show but that’s just it, a pre show.
