Still don’t know what “we’re still on this” means… ‘but’ Keep in mind too, you’re responding to a post from Last Nov…

And again, what is wrong with what I suggested? All I said was I’d like to see merch for this show. Who else wouldn’t want a John & Rover t-shirt with 🎶There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, Just a Dream Away🎶 on it?

CBJ thread
Well that’s interesting, the post you’re responding to here is, again, ‘from November of Last Year’, and you’re referencing a post that clearly isn’t in the same context nor the same time frame, yet you’ve weirdly assumed it was… my question is, why?? I certainly hope that wasn’t intentional on your part and it was a simple mistake. But if not, why would you try to frame my response as being related to that when there very clearly is a time difference and difference in context & the content of the post comparatively? Honest question. Read my posts again, who & what they’re responding to, within the frame of context discussed already here, and look at the time it was posted. It very clearly isn’t the same context, the meaning & timing of the post isn’t the same as the one I had in the CBJ thread, and it didn’t spring up the same way either. Notice I mentioned nothing about corporate sabotaging non-film IP based projects like I did there. So why exactly are you taking this post that way here? My guess is it was a genuine mistake or misreading, but please, for next time, could you try to pay closer attention to the time posts are posted and their context. Not trying to be mean, but please, take that into more consideration next time so more issues don’t spring up. :
Honestly, if it does Infact get to that point.. why not just simply cut the Walt AA if they can’t get it right and simply introduce some upgrades to the show. But if they know they can’t get it right atm, maybe they should just refurbish it (maybe upgrade the AAs similar to how Country Bears did it but just make sure the high pressure parts are replaced with the servo controls, and the lesser, you can keep hydraulic) maybe enhance some of the spfx here & there but keep the show the same. And with that, why not up the amount of merch. Sell plush toys (Rover anyone?) & figures (maybe even adult collector figure dioramas, ornaments maybe??) of the characters, come out with a Little Golden Book (or just a regular full sized storybook would do), get some themed t-shirts/sweaters (how about that progress city university sweater Patricia is wearing? The “My Food Rocks” apron John’s wearing at the end, Sarsaparilla/Root Beer mug anyone? ) out that rep and feature memorable scenes & lines from the show, and commemorative merchandise out to celebrate it, promote it properly on social media & other appropriate channels. The point is to get more people to see the show & help disperse capacity in the park better, correct? Then just do that. No more chopping block/closing worry.

This is who I was responding to, my response was clearly stated as a solution to a hypothetical scenario. See? If you don’t believe me, please read the thread from this post-going forward. That’s exactly what was intended, promise:
This worries me. Lets say there really is problems with the Walt animatronic at DLR. Lets say they give up on Walt in CoP because of problems with the Walt animatronic, THEN the finance folks can make a case for cost savings by scrapping the the Walt animatronic in CoP and then CoP is BACK on the chopping block.

I hope this is just my irrational thoughts ;)

It’s weird because some of the theaters are still the old fabric

Yes, there was a previous thread about that when they were first spotted. Have they finished all 6 theaters?
Nope! Which is why I thought it was an ongoing and new project!

My guess is they simply replaced the fabric in theaters that needed it, and didn’t replace it the others to save on unnecessary (in their minds atleast) for the time being, maintenance costs.
Or, they’re waiting for when they can get a higher budget approved to then go ahead and upgrade the rest of the theatre.

I get the logic there.
