Rat could be open today if they wanted it to be.

Oh sweet. Snagged one first try. Didn’t even use the time.gov. Must have had quick trigger fingers. Thanks for all the tips everyone. Hoping I score one when we get there.

Genie: I noticed you purchased [item1]. Guest: Why is my phone going off? Genie: If you enjoyed that [item1] well then you’re in luck. I’m granting you one extra Wish to buy one, get one free [item2 similar item1]. Guest: *puts phone in pocket* Fin

Nothing would surprise me at this point. “Due to unprecedented guest demand, the Genie will now be granting Wishes to walk amongst the silver backs on the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail” Edit cuz I didn’t know the correct name

So if I got to the screen that gave me the error that no guests had a park reservation does that mean I would have scored a BG?

AK would be a nightmare. If it ends up like this it will actually become a high priced zoo with some rides.

I don’t think they even have to go that far. They can just say… “Due to unprecedented guest feedback, Disney Imagineers have bequeathed the Genie with a new lamp to grant even more Wishes. Just ask the Genie and your Wish is granted. Whether a romantic dinner for two, a timeless boat ride...

Especially one with a total estimated hourly ride capacity of less than 40,000.

So they couldn’t do soft openings cuz they needed to make an extra $75 from a few hundred (thousand?) die hards. Sounds about right.

I don’t really care if I ride it as I’ve ridden it in Paris but for the love of Walt, if the ride is functional just open the thing up. Alleviate the wait times at other attractions. The Grand Opening could still have been 10/1. Previews should have been happening weeks ago.

I think that would be most like a M/M/1/k model in which k is the cap on the number of guests in the queue, right? So the standby return would be a virtual queue for the standby queue when the cap k is met? Oi, if they’d just have built enough over the years to have never had to deal with...

Can someone with more than my admittedly rudimentary knowledge of queue theory confirm that most Disney queues are of the M/M/1 variety as all guests are funneled into a single queue prior to boarding the RV all as one group? And if so, if a typical M/M/1 queue is determined by a Poisson...

Current management seems to misunderstand the effect of brand equity on the return of capital to shareholders and disregard the long term value built by superior brand equity. Simultaneously, they seem to be underestimating the power of word of mouth advertising in eroding that superiority...

What push has Chapek implemented that increased revenue that DIS then walked back due to customer backlash? I honestly don’t know, maybe there is an instance. But I can’t think of any off hand.

When DIS used to replace burnt out light bulbs during the night shift the same day they burnt out, was that balancing guest experience with fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders?

It is still a really fun ride and awesome themed area, just not sure I’d personally spend the extra dough.

Because they are supposed to be in a class unto themselves and the premier hospitality company in the world. Not a Cedar Fair gouge fest.
