I've been there when that capacity was well above some 10,000 cap that you mentioned -- and it's been well above that since after its opening week, so I don't know where you're getting that from -- and thoroughly enjoyed it, though my days did not have as many ride breakdowns as others have...

Have you actually been to Epic?

Two things can be true here: That needing concrete replacements this soon after opening is embarrassing AND this isn't some calamitous issue that will sink Epic Universe or Universal parks as a whole.

There are lots of good reasons to do an Imagination re-do, merchandising included. But "getting in with the legacy Epcot crowd" isn't one of them. I would look at it a different way. So clearly the expectation is that brand-new Disney park rides need to be based around some kind of established...

Large crowds in tight spaces means infectious disease spread will occur. Pretty simple. Someone made a reference to "con crud" and Disney World can have the same thing. I think it may seem more pronounced now because COVID has had summer peaks unlike flu and common cold viruses. Those summer...

What is "high enough capacity" in your view? And can you be specific about the "positive guest experience that Universal still refuses to adapt" part of your argument? That's really vague. I read several myself -- and this is assuming all of the reviews are real, which there's no way of...

They absolutely come off as attacks, just like most posts and Disney fan sites do when they use similar language. Unless your goal would be just to the guy off by ranting at him, your questions wouldn't accomplish anything. Disney "magic" is a marketing term, not something real. If you...

You're talking about a Tom Corless video and he's anything but honest. Positivity shouldn't be seen as an automatic plus necessarily, but Tom knows raging negativity gets more clicks when it comes to YouTube content. Google and TripAdvisor reviews are really the worst way to judge a theme...

Let this be a lesson that gossip attributed to unnamed frontline CMs should be disregarded.

It's really hard to believe a Disney World executive would give an exclusive interview to some with as low of a following as @AParkMind. To be blunt: These are bad questions. They're opinionated to the point of almost attacking the interviewee, which will likely result in defensive responses...

But unlike (almost?) all of the other attractions mentioned, Carousel of Progress is tied to the real world, rather than simply fantasy or a fantasized past, so not having a significant update in 30+ years is noticeable in a way where it wouldn't be on those other rides.

Can we just not? People are allowed to disagree with you or your level of hyperbole without being deemed a "corporate shill." It's obvious that to get major Imagineering projects approved these days, Disney expects them to be tied to some movie or TV IP. If people are discussing possibilities...

Discoveryland is not the same as Tomorrowland even with a similar ride lineup. My point is the concept evolved from the earlier castle parks instead of doing a similar Tomorrowland -- why shouldn't any other parks evolve to be able include single-IP lands? I'm perfectly fine with discussing...

No, I don't consider any criticism of changes to be baseless. But I expect an argument beyond emotional/nostalgia-driven appeals or platitudes about what Walt would've done. As another poster said, you seem to be setting up a straw man here by saying that anyone who doesn't agree with you is...

Frontline CMs are not reliable sources on whether a ride is going to permanently close and certainly not secondhand info attributed to some random CM either. Doesn't matter what they claim the issue is.
