The truth is Disney doesn't care what Universal does. The imagineers "bring it on" comment at D23 when questioned about Potter is all you need. NFL was a project to help capacity at MK which ended up not helping that much. It's still a madhouse. The knee jerk reaction to get the rights to Avatar is probably the closest thing to an "answer" we have, no matter how delayed it is from what it was supposed to "answer" to.
I'm not saying it because of the attendance
but for the rides that can come after the frozen one.
you know, it makes me wonder.. a lot of these attractions have sponsor.TDO really should come up with a way to get the Frozen revamp to 1,500/hr minimum. 1,800-2,000 is better.
EPCOT really needs its own $1.5 billion revamp
$800 million for Future World
$700 million for World Showcase
Use Future World's to:
Radically enhance Imagination! ($100 million)
Radically enhance Energy ($100 million)
Radically enhance Innoventions ($50 million)
Spruce up the plaza ($25 million)
Revamp Spaceship Earth's AAs and the finale ($50 million)
WoL replacement of some kind ($350 million) - includes an E-ticket family coaster, Omnimover and a show
Mission Space revamp ($50 million)
Enhancements for Living With the Land's AAs/sets ($25 million)
Use World Showcase's to:
Update all existing CircleVision films ($100 million)
Japan E-ticket ($150 million)
Germany D-ticket ($125 million)
UK C-ticket ($100 million)
Canada E-ticket ($175 million)
Italy B/C-ticket ($50 million)
Epcot would be ready for the Frozen flurries of fans if they had all of that in their arsenal
Ask Wonders of Life.
no, Quadritch by Stephen Lang.
I wonder if they have these posts queued and "programmed" to be posted at specified dates (for efficiency purposes)
A C-ticket ride that has 900/hr and excessive demand (meaning most who want to ride it won't be able to) versus an E-ticket ride that likely has 2,500-3,000/hr based on the giant RVs that won't cause people to stampede.
EPCOT has 11.9m from 2013. IOA had 8.1m from 2013. One has numerous areas that could use some love, the other is relatively top notch aside from small spurts. One has no momentum, and the other does. I wonder which has the best chance of getting a large increase in attendance for 2016.
Kong is going to give IOA a bigger bump simply because it's high capacity, an E-ticket and IOA has more momentum/room to grow than Epcot right now.
Epcot needed to expand their attraction lineup in order to handle the crowds for this Frozen addition.
Epcot should get 5% while IOA could get 8-15%.
Haha Epcot's saving grace is the high capacity people-eaters in Future World... if they get people to visit any of them besides SSE.
More than 20 years after it opened, Tower of Terror (TOT) continues to be one of my favorite attractions. Imagineering seemed to get so many things right with TOT. It appears that like you, The Twilight Zone tie-in never meant much to me, even though I regularly watched The Twilight Zone in my youth. The tie-in is almost a distraction from the attraction.
Why does anything have to be an answer to anything else? I get the idea Disney doesn't feel they need to answer anything UNI does. To keep bringing it up is a bit redundant. Disney is doing their thing at their pace. Seems to be working out for them profits wise. Sure, it may not be what we want or expect and it may well come back to bite them later, but right now, my expectations for Disney to "Answer" UNI is non existent.
I agree. Especially with the latest announcement of Volcano Bay, you would think Disney would look to their own water parks and think "what can we do to improve them?" They've gone just as long or even longer without new additions as the theme parks.
I thought Lang was General Pickett?
General Jackson....
