    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    *UPDATE* Over the last week or so I have been compiling information from a group of sources I trust, some of which that I have directly communicated with. By combining all these peoples information in the most rational way possible, this is the best outline I can provide as to what is happening...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    2,500-3,000/hr should be the goal, then. And I thought the PeopleMover at MK had something ridiculous like 4,800/hr :D hence, why the wait is always 3-5 minutes. Western River Expedition would be a great 2,500-3,000/hr E-ticket. Fire Mountain could be designed to possibly have two tracks with...

    Universal vs. Disney

    Go ask the insiders over at OU. I'm not making it up. Look under the thread 'TEA 2015 Numbers'. DHS can't feasibly fit 9-10 million/yr with just TSMM, RnRC, Star Tours, GMR, Frozen, and ToT. I wanna know what you're drinking if you buy the 10.3 million/yr # for a park with little capacity at...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    The only way I would support an E coming to MK is if it were an absolute people-eater (4,000-5,000/hr). The last thing MK needs is another 1,400-1,800/hr D/E lol. Even 2,500-3,000/hr would be good. Fixing Tomorrowland up is a better bet for $350 million, though. Space Mt, CoP and Stitch need...

    Universal vs. Disney

    In attendance, sure. In quality? They've been number one since 2010 ;) I'd much rather have less attendance, but higher quality, than high attendance but low quality. 25-30m/yr is still great if you know how to budget properly and maximize food/bev/merch. That's what Universal should be...

    Universal vs. Disney

    Do you mean more attractions?... because USF/IOA already surpass DHS/Epcot/AK in that regard :D More hotels? Because Steve Burke is shooting for 10,000-12,000 rooms by the early 2020s. More parks? Because Volcano Bay and the 3rd gate make it 4. And those 4 will have more attractions than all...

    Universal vs. Disney

    Universal doesn't need the most market share... it just needs a good portion. Universal Orlando's parks will always be below MK. DHS will likely be untouchable with Star Wars/Pixar (13.5-14.5 million by 2025 IMO). But in 15-20 years, they could leapfrog Epcot/AK if Pandora and a possible...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    Um... the fact that everything I said is literally already constructed. All they have to do is fix some of the show scenes for Energy and Imagination. They're building nothing. Mermaid cost $125 million and that had rockwork. Considering there's no real construction involved with an overhaul...

    High ranking Imagineers Joe Rohde and Bob Weis expand their roles with Walt Disney Imagineering

    With Incredibles 2 coming up, I'd rather see an Incredibles E, a relocated Finding Nemo - The Musical in Premier Theater, and a clone of Ride and Go Seek than RSR-lite and TSPL. They could even do cross-development and use the Incredibles ride as the Marvel E for DCA. All of the bases covered...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    Must fight the tears! Pretty much any story involving Make-a-Wish/sick kids gets me. Especially when it's something small like that (a Stormtrooper holding her hand as she walks down to her operation)... something they didn't wish for, but it happens anyways.

    Estimated Time to Complete Animal Kingdom

    It's really: MK - 2 days (2 10-12 hr days. You could do it in 1.5 days if you utilize extra FP+ and stay open to close one of the days) Epcot - 1.5 days (if you want to see everything) AK - 1 day (if you want to see everything) DHS - 0.75 days until more shows close... then 0.5 days

    Universal vs. Disney

    Only Universal Orlando had 16.4 million last year, not 10 people ;) Look at UO's lineup until 2019: 2015 - NBC Media Lab, Hello Kitty store, CityWalk 3.0, NBC Sports Grill 2016 - Kong, Hulk revamp, Sapphire Falls, Fallon, NBA City replacement 2017 - F&F, Volcano Bay, 2018 - Nintendo 2019 -...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    EPCOT has a lot more going for it than DHS right now Frozen Ever After + Anna/Elsa M&G=1 to 2 million/yr increase over 3 yrs. Food and Wine Flower and Garden Its capacity is enormous (100,000-120,000 at any given moment) World Showcase is a cash-cow Epcot actually has enough for 1.5 to 2...

    Estimated Time to Complete Animal Kingdom

    Get there at rope drop FP+ for Kilimanjaro, Kali and Everest Do FP+ for Safari (9:00-10:00) Do Pangani Exploration Trail Do Festival of the Lion King (10:00am) Do FP+ for Kali (10:30-11:30) Majahrah Jungle Trek Flights of Wonder (11:45) Lunch Do FP+ for Everest (1:30-2:30) Finding Nemo -...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    If they're smart, they'll spread Epcot and MK's budgets out. Don't spend it all on one 'big' E-ticket and one refurb, when you can fix up crucial areas of the park in time for WDW's 50th. Epcot should get an Imagination overhaul ($80-100 million), SSE updates ($20-40 million), and a Energy...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    Considering Universal Orlando is about to bulldoze Doom/Carnage warehouse to make room for an Avengers E-ticket, I'd think TDO would rather stick to GotG at both resorts. To avoid any claims of 'knock-offs'. That moment when $700 million is a small percentage of any budget.... :cool: I'd guess...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    James Gunn seems too nerdy to mix something up like that. I doubt he'd say WDW instead of Disneyland, and vice versa. It could be coming to both resorts (RnRC rethemed, DL gets the custom version) I could buy Michael Bay or Tyler Perry or a non-fanboy type director mixing the two resorts up...

    Rumor: Details on Disney's Hollywood Adventure

    Surprised they wouldn't just lay out DHS like this: Echo Lake/expansion pad behind Star Tours - Star Wars/Indiana Jones Muppets/Mama Melrose/Pizza Planet/Christmas Shop/Premier Theater - Muppets LMA/Backlot Tour - Marvel/Incredibles rest of SoA/Animation Courtyard/pad between RnRC & Animation -...

    Rumor: Details on Disney's Hollywood Adventure

    Cat and E.T. are the only current attractions with height requirements where this kind of thing would ever happen. Universal is known for having an extra kick. But those KUKA arms and over-the-head restraints pretty much require FJ to have a 48" requirement. It's pretty much a foregone...

    Rumor: Details on Disney's Hollywood Adventure

    JttCotE at DisneySea uses the same ride system as Test Track, but you'd never Think 'That's just like Test Track!' from riding it. I'd be over the moon if it came into the Adventureland expansion pad at some poin5t in the future. However, I do think RSR is a horrid use of space. For the sake of...
