I think you hit the nail on the head: “theming” IP is not the issue… in my opinion of course…

It’s interesting, to me, at least, to see what rave reviews Indy gets- and then how flat Dino falls…

I don’t think the current version of WDI is “Your fathers Imagineering”… Much of the heavy lifting is now being farmed out to private firms and such

I like the thoughts- but from my understanding, when a fifth gate is pitched- the cost of infrastructure, the ability to staff it, combined with the fact that a fifth gate will steal “guests” from the other four gates, it becomes a non starter. My thoughts would be to create a third domestic...

So, possibly now that Disney has found out a new revenue stream in selling the fast passes, that may lead to the fleshing out the parks with more rides worthy of purchasing LL or Genie + for… I think this is our best bet for parks that get finished. Peeps are figuring out that MK and HS are...

Fast pass begin in 1999, I believe? Fast pass then moved away from paper distribution to the “make a reservation” and use the app plus your band to tap in. The band helped to keep tabs on what guests where spending. The reservation was a way to move people from crowded rides (SM?) to rides...

I think a decision was made at some point to move away from expanding the parks in meaningful ways (to save money) and using the fast pass / magic band as a way to manipulate crowds in a manner that park expansion would not be necessary - as a side effect, it eliminating the creative piece of...

Question for all: Seems as if there was a titanic shift in Disney ideology around 2003 or so - that coincided with 1. lack of creativity and 2. development of magic band technology… anyone else feeling that vibe around that time, or is it just me? Wonder who initiated this “shift” inside the...

That is where I recognize your post style from!! 🤣

I had the opportunity to run the 10 miler a few weekends back- every speed bump, hard turn, and wet surface had a “caution Athletes speed bump ahead” (or other obstacle) on repeat and blast… the voice was super Similar to the “vehicle is turning backwards” spiel on our beloved SE… my question to...

And this whole time I have been blaming long waits on the Lightning Lane… :)

that be one way to “stick it to” the governor

Since I posted this I’ve been dreaming big! How about a new gondola line entrance!!!

I’m not convinced that WDW is going to spend extra money to re-theme an existing area for our benefit…. How will it make the money back? If the answer is it won’t, then they won’t do it. Imo of course… rumor busted

Sure do appreciate you swinging back in to the board since it would seem Disney ”has some esplanin’ to do” on this ride! Good to see you!

Point taken- I often am Mistaken for a boomer as people drive past shaking their fist…. To be fair to their accusations, I did play pong way before I ever drove any of Mario’s carts… :)

Saw it last evening- it was fun enough. Made for the kiddos, but nostalgic enough for the boomers. The fun thing for me was - this was the first time I’d seen people not just in the movie, but in the lobby, at the counters getting stuff - the whole enchilada of movie going so to speak- in a...

Been a long time since I’ve been in this thread, so maybe I’m not remembering correctly- but wasn’t there mention of new float body frames that had been bought or where under consideration to be bought??? This may have even been before “The Great Shutdown”

I’ve got an idea- let’s open up a “general store” where we provide all the streaming services for one subscription price! Then, when people log in, they could choose from- say ESPN, or a Disney channel, while also having access to all the Peacock and Universal products as well… we could call it...

Please understand, I enjoy hearing his take, (as well as the dissenting views). I have come to realize, he’s got a bit of an insiders view. He “knows where the bodies are buried”, so to speak- And that’s exactly why I frequent these boards.
