I think you're missing the point. It's not shock at the prices (although they are ridiculous, and ridiculous in Indiana too); it's that they aren't going to work well in this location. It's something special/different in Indiana (or at least supposed to be); it isn't at Disney. Even beyond...

Vivoli il Gelato at Disney Springs is a lot better than Ample Hills was anyways.

The location alone isn't the dealbreaker -- it's the combo of the location and the price. The lunch prices are crazy, and there's a better restaurant with similar pricing almost next door at the Boardwalk for dinner.

I think the location also hurt Ample Hills -- there was better ice cream/gelato available at Disney Springs, so there wasn't really any reason to go to Boardwalk just to get ice cream from there. Not that it mattered I guess, since it closed because the whole company went under, not because the...

Yeah, the one in Hong Kong is just a slightly plussed version of the one from EPCOT, which I think is a bad ride. The one in Tokyo is a completely different attraction. It's still a boat ride and about Frozen, but it's very little like the EPCOT ride otherwise, except that they kept the getting...

I don't think that would have been a good use of space. Body Wars wasn't a high capacity attraction. But I guess it would have been better than just shuttering it for decades

I don't think it even has the relevance now to do that -- especially since it would be hard to not feel like a copy of something Universal already did -- but yeah, I don't see how it would make any sense to open a Simpsons land in the 2030s unless the show is rebooted and the reboot is a massive...

Frozen Journey is the E ticket they built in Tokyo; not the bad EPCOT ride.

Yeah, I think the lunch service is doomed too. There aren't many people just hanging out at the Boardwalk at lunch time, and for the few who are... do they really want $30 sandwiches?

It's almost impossible to believe that Disney would do something new with Captain EO

Forgot about the Halloween parties. That makes sense -- figured it had something to do with fewer groups available.

Interesting that the afternoon groups go faster than the morning groups on some days. I wonder why that is. Is it mainly on days that are having operational problems so they give out fewer groups in the afternoon?

Jungle Cruise if they ever close it. As far as stuff that's actually closed... I can't think of anything off the top of my head. The stuff that's closed and people seem to love here were among my favorite attractions Disney has ever built -- I'd rather ride them than almost anything that's been...

I just really dislike Frozen Ever After. I think it's a bad ride, even if you ignore it being in the wrong place. It would probably be a bottom 3 ride no matter which of the four parks it was in (at least if you throw out spinners etc.). They could build something much better there; it's just...

I hadn't either -- I'm saying if someone Googles them, the very first result is their website and if you try to look at menus there you have to pick a location. It's not like you get routed to Disney.

If only a new Frozen project meant they would dump Frozen Ever After... but I know we'll never get that lucky.

This one seems like it would be a little more obvious considering they have other locations. You're likely going to end up at their website rather than Disney's if you Google it.

This is one of those things people say as though it's a self-evident fact, but I'm not sure the data backs it up. It was the only park they've ever built that was competitive with the Magic Kingdom, and it was at its most popular with that original omnimover heavy attraction lineup.

I think it's a bit different, in that Grand Floridian probably needed that extra dining because there aren't many other options (essentially no one is going to the Magic Kingdom to eat). The Boardwalk is a very different location than the Grand Floridian. Obviously we'll see, but if I was...

That was kind of my point, though -- Flying Fish is probably the best restaurant at Disney World not named Victoria & Albert's, so why go to Cake Bake Shop when it's right there? The Boardwalk doesn't need another Signature type restaurant (especially not for breakfast and lunch); feels like...
