I'm very curious to know what Disney's thought process is on running their water parks these days.It'll be interesting to see what THEA attendance reports say for this past year as VB was very busy and Disney's water parks are in this eternal open/close situation.
Definitely agree, and the idea that they want to get moving on DAK and taking Dinoland offline as the next year or two are potentially going to be rough attendance-wise for the park either way makes sense.I agree that there is a lot of exaggeration when it comes to Epic's impact on WDW... but there is definitely concern over Universal taking a day from a lesser desired park like DAK. 3 Universal dry parks is more than enough to convince a family to outright skip WDW if they prefer.
MK will still be "king" in Orlando... but all the other Orlando parks will be fighting against each other. The one thing I'm interested in knowing is how Epic impacts Universal Studios' impact itself as it will then become the least desirable park of the 3. Will people "add" a day for Epic or just replace USF?
In general, I am also very curious to see just how Epic Universe changes attendance patterns across both resorts. There are a lot of different ways this could go, ranging from WDW feeling a noticeable hit to the market growing and attendance across the Universal parks changing more notably than attendance across the two resorts. I also wonder a little whether Universal has been finding its own audience rather than necessarily fighting over the same audience as Disney. Obviously there's significant overlap, but it wouldn't surprise me if over the past decade or so both resorts have increasingly carved out their own niche of consumers who prefer what each resort does best as the Orlando theme park market has continued to grow.
I see he's at it again over (unfinished) work that apparently doesn't reach the heights of WDSP Toy Story Land.Maybe. What I do know is those triangles could blow away if not properly adhered to the structure.
