Is it the end already? I doubt they built a park in Shanghai just for the results up through 2020 with no thought to 2021 and beyond. Let's see how the international parks are doing after a few decades to see their true worth. (Even Paris, by this measurement, has been a net positive for the...

Disney will need new attractions to help bring the crowds back. Spider-Man, MMRR and Avengers will survive to open for that reason alone. Anything else beyond that (revamped Tomorrowland, revamped Fantasy Land, revamped Hollywood backlot, 3rd ride in SWGE) will be what is significantly pushed...

Oh, I'm not worried. Just wondering where, analytically, that crossover point is. If cases remain minimal over the next few weeks I can see some businesses start to ramp back up out of necessity, though Disney wouldn't likely be one of those companies to step out in front in that way because...

How long will Disney compensate those employees, though? If this stretches into at least June I doubt they would. Not to mention all the vendors they get supplies from they aren't compensating, and so on. From an analytical point of view there simply has to be a point where the problems caused...

That's my concern. I mean, if unemployment hits 45-55% how does this shutdown really save lives?

No, it doesnt have to be the entrance. Why would the remove a popular meet and greet that should only increase in popularity when the ride open when they can remove the facade of City Hall that has no real attraction value? There's no reason to change those plans.

All levels of economy are inevitably gonna be destroyed anyway at this point. This will be the worst recession since 2008. At least in this case it's not driven by bad banking practices. Possible exceptions: video games and home video/streaming. Those may see an uptick in sales over the next...

One would hope construction/refurb projects that bring together smaller groups of people can continue during this time. It actually would be a great time to do a full sweep of minor repairs and across the parks cleansing. Maybe get that performance rate of Rise of the Resistance worked out even...

I'll be surprised now if Anaheim doesn't shut the park down by the weekend.

The difference is it's new. Those Meningitis outbreaks are the average and therefore normalized culturally. As the Joker would say, nobody panics because it's part of the socially agreed upon plan.

Italy will at least do some national financial subsidizing for their citizens. My fear is that on top of the virus itself the US will also leave people in such financial distress (through lost work, companies downzising/going bankrupt, parents having to miss work to watch kids when their schools...

Won't happen for a long while in Galaxy's Edge, IMO. Not with the worst financial crisis for the company since 9/11 currently occurring. They cut that element during peak revenue times around 2018. Now the parks and movie side of the company are gonna be in tight-belt mode for a couple years due...

By that logic, if they do pull it off this time will you always believe they will?

A specialty designed one-off should usually be superior to a mass produced product.

That's what I'm expecting, only in the case of Spider-Man they will have the spider-bots scurrying all over the landscape as targets, ideally with a variation of patterns so you don't aim at the exact same spots every ride through.

My family has our big Disneyland trip planned for the first week of May, which we only do every 3-5 years (last big family trip to DL was in 2016). Would really suck if it was closed, but there's also the possibility that it will be less crowded than anticipated if open and some vacationers stay...

Expect a fair amount of current Fall 2020 releases to get pushed into 2021. Raya and the Last Dragon may be one of them, as well as WB's Godzilla vs. Kong.

Onward (and Mulan) have already postponed a lot of their international release dates due to the Asian box office being mostly shuttered for the next couple months. That could be seriously bad for both films as piracy could kill their eventual releases in Asia. Mulan especially was counting on a...

Some projection mapping tweaks to RRCTS would be sweet. A sequence like the fall down the building could go from great to outstanding.

Nothing major is gonna happen with HPBL until they can extend the berm out into the bus depot area with a revised Eastern Gateway project. Any changes before then will be minimal.
