Yeah I think a lot are sort of hitting on my point. The rides can get someone there once. Maybe back every once in a while. But we are talking some big time prices. Something like cedar point or Carowinds can have people come back for just a big e ticket ride cause it costs $100 for the...

But that gets to the bigger question. Is there ANY ride that can generate repeat customers at these price points? Or, is the most important part having the theming/feel throughout the park?

Jrb said you would be surprised how many travel for that coaster. I mentioned I know a few who actually did travel for that. Did I ever come close to saying that everyone travels for that? Did I say it was last year they did that travel? Did I say they went back? Did I say they TRAVELED...

Yeah, I actually know multiple families up North who went to Universal with the reason being Velocicaoster.

The show part is VERY rumor right now though. All we know for sure is a coaster. I question if there is enough room in that area for a show unless it's significantly smaller (or there is a ton of reworking of the behind the scenes things). Also, just going to throw it out there, I'm not sure...

Not gonna lie, my expectations were total removal. I actually think this looks, really good? Like, maybe even an improvement over the original? I don't know, I know it's a small thing, but I'll give credit on this, I think they did a great job with it.

Agree, if it was a replacement like everywhere else that was announced, I'd see the concern. But this is just straight add on, which means they aren't losing a thing. I think I'd be a bit surprised if it was that high (tallest at Disney currently is 48 inches, correct?), but I don't think they...

It probably is, but as has been pointed out, those plans often change. Phase 2's get pushed off for long periods of time (heck this is what, like a decade for the door coaster?). Very realistically you could be looking at a minimum of 10 years before a Zootopia land opens. To me the bigger...

Which doesn't change they admitted lower attendance from Q3 2023-Q1 2024.

That area is significantly larger. My guess is this cost a lot less, and with the larger lands in MK coming already, they didn't want to budget THAT much at once.

Flat this past quarter, which was down last year, and q1 they said disney world had an attendance decrease. I don't think they mentioned disney world attendance specifically in in q2.

But you can't do that. Didn't they say you would need at least a 3 day ticket to get one day at Epic?

Slinky benefits from the same thing Cosmic Rewind does. At the end of the day, it's a fun roller coaster, no matter how much or how little theming there is. Could the theming make it even better? Sure, but it's still a fun ride.

I mean, I'd agree in my eyes (and most everyone), but fact is he was given that title by Disney.

I'll still say I think there is a very real chance it hurts MK as well at least next year. And maybe USF less than you expect because of the ticket requirements.

So Q1 and Q2 were much bigger gains than Q3 and Q4 were losses.

Where would the coaster go? You are talking about an entire land with at least a coaster, a couple restaurants, and a shop in an area under 2 acres.

So, caveat being I don't know what all the backstage stuff is, so some may not be doable. BUT, if you go Animation, back through Launch Bay and into the parking lot behind there, that would be pretty much the same area as Muppets. That leaves another almost 14 acres behind RnRC/west of the...

I've got 0 inside knowledge, but everything about this feels to me like this was supposed to be phase 2 or even phase 3 of the upgrades to the park, but because they spent budget elsewhere, this became phase 1 as it was the cheapest thing to change in DHS. As you said, it's weird they just...

Again, I think it's going to be at a minimum good, most likely much better than good. Point is that adding this with nothing being lost (and giving people something else to go see) is going to be a good thing no matter what.
