Revenge of the Mummy is definitely a better themed coaster than Cosmic Rewind. Note that I'm not saying it's a better coaster, which is a separate discussion -- but in terms of theming it's definitely better. CR is very disappointing from that standpoint; there's not much to it and it wastes...

World of Motion was easily the best attraction if we're counting everything in that space (there's no comparison between it any of the 3 Test Tracks), but that's a separate discussion. Of the three TT iterations, 1.0 probably fit EPCOT the worst as a general concept. On the other hand, it had...

Disney's Hollywood Magic Animal Kingdom Community of Tomorrow

The potential customer base is also growing year by year, though (well, at least nominally -- maybe not if prices are so high that people simply can't afford it).

It'll be interesting to see if Xiaomi is allowed to enter the US market. They're apparently light years beyond any electric cars currently available in the US in overall quality, including anything Tesla has put out. They're supposedly in talks with Ford right now about a joint venture to start...

Tesla is an interesting mention because they're moving away from building cars now. Not that they're stopping entirely, but they're cutting back and focusing on other things.

I doubt they'd ever consider any Disney show for an actual ride -- they just don't have the overall reach/popularity of their major films.

I know it's just your thoughts for something you'd enjoy, but there's basically a 0% chance they'd ever build a ride based on Gravity Falls (and Pocahontas is wildly unlikely too).

I don't think they're going to eliminate the Jungle Cruise, but... from a utilization standpoint, they could do far better with that plot. Not that Jungle Cruise is unpopular or underutilized, but it takes up an absolutely massive amount of space. If they demolished it, they could probably...

From a mathematics standpoint you really can't call Dinosaur underperforming because it was a fully utilized attraction; they weren't sending out empty vehicles (which does happen on other Disney attractions, like Little Mermaid). That has nothing to do with the ride quality -- I think Indiana...

Is that the huge empty building between MiB and Diagon Alley? When I was looking at a park map I had no idea what that was.

I'd personally stay at Riverside over either (I think it's the best value among all Disney resorts at the moment), but I'd take POFQ over Coronado.

Yeah, putting Disney aside for the moment, I feel like all three parks at Universal need major work. USF needs a significant overhaul. Diagon Alley is great, but it really needs a second attraction (or third if you count Hogwarts Express), although I'm not sure where they'd build one nor do I...

The new FEA is better than the original, but it's still a mediocre ride at best. Doing a plussed clone of a shoehorned, compromised attraction was such a bad idea

That would be pretty dumb for both companies unless they both plan on building a tremendous amount of unannounced projects over the next decade across all of their existing parks (well, except Magic Kingdom). Doesn't mean they won't do it, though.
