A lot of people also don't have any clue to why things are the way they are, or why they feel a certain way. The general population are not theme park designers, so handing the control stick over to them would be disaster. A likewise, if you simply built what they thought they wanted, you'd...

in case people didn't know... 'the volume' is not some singular thing anymore. You can find all kinds of videos of people building these out and using them. I wish I had the link I had in my mind handy, but I can't find it right now

I think it's a tradeoff from the 'upsizing' of TV shows to basically film quality productions. TV used to be significantly cheaper to produce... so they could afford to commit to longer seasons up front... and less drama to pick up a new season. Now you have shows with 100million dollar...

Except... Disney+ and ads is not really a big deal yet. Where as most of your comparison was against decisions in an ad mature market.

simple.. ad sales potential

Sorry, that video has been discussed at length. You'll see it in the next few pages of posts as you read. And check back with me when you see Kong or F&F moving at any decent rate of speed that anyone would want to experience a thrilling outdoor car chase at :) or even running a vehicle...

You've oversold yourself... to yourself. You have no idea of what you speak.

You missed the fan creedo... If you can type it, you can do it!

Well... the parks as Malls goes back to long before consumer products was brought into the same org. Really goes back to Pressler/Harris when they started really focusing metrics that way. And I don't really subscribe to the evil behind such ratios. 1) They are needed 2) They need more...

Who knows...

More like I don't bother with debates over things that are made up... We can be critical all we want when there is something actually there to judge with. This kind of critique based on what you think it will be... well.. pointless.

Well - judging before you even know what it will be... is on brand.

Note I said "DL has been fighting this 'problem' with TSI for much longer than MK " TSI - where DL tried the pirates conversion after removing the problematic fort. And it's been what over 15yrs since that change and that's been flat too after the new-ness wore off. Disneylands ROA has...

Agree - and this was what I was referring to as Disney removed more and more scenes from the ROA and activities from TSI. It became less and less interesting to drive people to invest their own time. Over the last 10+ years Disney has proven it has no good answers to the ROA+TSI 'problem' to...

What? That disney has codified everyone into park commandos vs the strolling type? Or ROA and TSI are nerfed to the point of not attracting much attention anymore? Because pretty sure when you close everything or remove it... that's not a sign of banger action. You're making a great case for...

For sure - but can that kinetic energy and setting be replaced by something else? I hear what you are saying about the ROA and its why it's been such an anchor of the Castle park design for decades... but it's also a huge chunk of space. DL has been fighting this 'problem' with TSI for much...

If TSI actually was busy... or if the riverboat actually passed scenes of substance... maybe Disney would treasure them more. Disney has plenty of land around... but land WITHIN your existing theme park that is under utilized is far more interesting than land somewhere else on property.

Yeah but in the concept here of what is acceptable risk and the complexity of the failure modes goes up considerably when dealing with independent systems vs a single point of control. I’m not googling- I’m just familiar with the application and the design concepts. Part of being a geek and...

At what.., walk/crawl speeds right? I mean the kinds of applications you are talking about are well understood and deployed in all kinds of manufacturing, mining, and distribution applications and have been in various forms for decades. From earlier guide wire systems to more modern free range...

Correct- autonomous vehicles are even MORE advanced. The point was just because this has been ‘seen’ in a real demo doesn’t make it viable for the situation at hand…. Just like autonomous and ‘self driving’ vehicles are a thing - that doesn’t make them Disney theme park attraction ready. How...
