That wouldn't preclude asbestos -- asbestos only becomes dangerous during demolition (or manufacturing). I think it's very unlikely there is any asbestos remaining there though.

I don't understand how anyone drinks/eats these things. I love a good milkshake, but the surge of places topping them with like three cookies, candy, etc. is crazy. I don't want 2500 calories and 250 grams of sugar in one go.

I don't think they bought Marvel for theme parks. The total Marvel box office take is over $30 billion dollars, plus they've used it for a bunch of Disney+ content.

The biggest problem with Berk as a comparison IMO is that Berk has several rides but none are highly themed or very good. It's not where you're looking for quality themed rides.

I don't have any special love for it either -- I just meant in the context of this conversation it seemed like it was more about "this is something Universal might replace" rather than "Universal needs to replace this". I have a similar opinion of USF. Mummy, ET, and Diagon Alley are great...

The Olaf AA will be neat, but overall this sounds like a downgrade from the experience at Animal Kingdom for me personally, both due to the lack of a live CM and a less interesting character lineup/less variety (which is partially caused by the lack of a live CM). I'll do it once to see the...

Are there people actually advocating to replace it, though? Or is it just (like I mentioned) people assuming it's something Universal likely will replace?

Probably because people assume the IP is no longer relevant and it seems like that's a driving factor for decisions. The last movie was a flop, although they're supposedly working on another one. With little space to expand at USF and a desire to promote new content, it makes sense that it...

I think they've said it would not be a touching experience like the goats/donkeys; more of a standard zoo where you can just see them.

I will definitely miss the goats and donkeys, although having Australian animals will be nice. I'm sad the animal focused animation experience is leaving too; I'm much more interested in that than Bluey (although I'm sure Bluey will be a bigger draw). I know there will be a new animation...

Park probably wasn't the right description actually. They just look like temporary tables you pull out of storage for an event rather than permanent fixtures.

It looks good overall, except that I think the tables look bad. They remind me of something you'd see sitting outside at a park.

Even his second half wasn't that bad at WDW (not that it was good). It got us Animal Kingdom -- yes, very underbuilt but so well themed for the most part -- and Animal Kingdom Lodge. They haven't built any hotels even half as good as Animal Kingdom Lodge in the last 20 years, and what they have...

That's why I said mostly. He certainly wasn't perfect even at WDW, but at least for me his overall tenure was better than Iger's from both a parks and resorts standpoint (again, solely talking about WDW here).

Animal Kingdom only exists because of Eisner. Iger would have never even allowed it to be built. Post-Wells Eisner was far from perfect, but overall (solely when talking about WDW; not elsewhere), Eisner did far more good than Iger (I'm not suggesting that Iger didn't do anything good, though)...
