The industry goes through trends every 15-20 years and currently we’re in an IP trend. There will come a time though when all the big franchises have their attractions, or when a new CEO arrives with different ideas about business management, etc. The only constant is change and assuming Disney...

Yes.

How long has Diamond Horeshoe been table service? Am I that out of the loop these days?

Lord of the Rings is probably the most obvious untapped IP for world building that has the same following as potter or Star Wars. Perhaps Looney Tunes too. As far as what Id actually like to see: Indiana Jones is the most appealing IP I can think of for an entire land.

1. People at a show aren’t spending money in the parks or Disney springs 2. Concern about being able to fill multiple theatres (I think one theatre could work) 3. Concern about getting on the bad side of local government. Orlando spent a lot of money on its new performing arts center and would...

They're also planning on using projection surfaces that can change shape to aid in the transformation scenes.

I did the math on this once and it’s just obscene. For instance a one day ticket to a park costs like $100. Now granted muktidays discount this but for arguments sake let’s say what people pay for snacks and drinks makes up for that. Each park easily pulls in 50k people a day on average...

I definitely think there should be something like this - whether disney exclusive or not, there needs to be a place that archives together the rich history of the past 100 years or so of themes entertainment.

This is fantastic news! My boss introduced me to salt and straw and now is like one of my favorite places to get treats! Their flavors are always outlandish yet always surprisingly delicious.

Not sure if it's been posted, but on Apple Maps there's now updated 3D imagery of Disneyland that includes star wars land construction. Granted it's about a year old from when the photos were taken, but really cool to get some more idea of how everything relates.

If you focused on the earth environment from the movie you could definitely make it work - from an intrinsic value of nature and conservation perspectives you could really drive home the punch that the park is trying to make. That being said, I’m not sure people have all that much desire to...

The idea that people would want a 24/7 immersive themed experience is fairly new. Disney World started off as a vacation resort. Ie a place for escape and relaxation. Even the idea that people would want to spend multiple days at the park was a bit unthought of in the beginning - hence the...

I went to Epcot as a kid often when all the great original attractions were nearing the end of their primes. While as an adult I appreciate World of Motion when I rewatch videos, I have to say it’s the attraction that made the least impact on me. I still remember Horizons vividly as well as...

It seems unlikely, given that most guests come as groups and like to experience attractions together. Also being forced to experience an attraction alone is impractical and potentially traumatic for children and preteens. Rocket rods came the closest to doing this with several rows of seats all...

Seriously?!?! This is just stupid levels of amazing. What the hell is your day job and can I learn all your skills?

Aladdin the musical was saved for a couple years when it was originally announced to be replaced with Toy Story due to fan backlash. Granted that’s DL where fans get a tad slightly more input.

I mean it’s not exactly a secret they’re working on it. It’s just the what and when that are unknown and I doubt anything is firm yet.

This would be the first time I've ever heard Universal referred to as charming.

If you don’t think there’s a ton of people in Imagineering who view theme parks as art you really haven’t looked hard. Joe Rohde being the most vocal example. And he’s the one directly behind Pandora - which you seem to despise. It seems to me that you don’t really have a firm grasp on what it...
