I dont think what he said was specifically just for the nintendo thing.
You have been kinda acting hardhead and kinda angry for the past 5 days since the conversation about Universals $$$ were released.

You’re actually trying to tell me that no one complains about wait times? So Disney decided to add capacity to TSMM and Soarin because people never complained about wait times at those attractions. Yes people complain about Mine Train wait times and a lack of FP + availability for that attraction.
I’m sure the Frozen fans love your characterization of how they should be treated in the theme parks and I disagree that this will have any impact whatsoever on wait times at MK. Those who want to see Frozenstrom will go to Epcot instead of DHS or AK, not MK

Apples and oranges.
I'm sure that is how the guests who are lured into the Frozen trap will feel.
Around 11,000 guests per day will get on the Frozen ride, many after waiting 2-3 hours in a stand-by queue that isn't big enough.
Guest Relations is going to be swamped by guests who were unable to get on the ride ("It's the only reason we came to this park!) or were forced to wait forever or ride at closing time. Guest satisfaction is going to suffer. Little princesses gonna be unhappy.
At MK, I don't think much will change outside of a possible slightly reduced demand for Fairytale Hall. It's MK...it's gonna be busy regardless.

This is one of the most boneheaded statements I have ever read on this site.
I kinda see Nintendo as the "Oswald the Rabbit" of video gaming. Theyre still relevant, but have been passed and then lapped a few times by Xbox and Playstation. There is plenty of nostalgia to build upon, but I also agree and dont think Disney views this as one that "got away".
If we were talking Grand Theft Auto Land, it might be a different story. Or I guess you can just hit the OBT for that kind of action.

huu nintendo is hardly "latest ip".
Avatar are the alien pocahontas, it felt shoehorned in a park dedicated to animals.
It might fit, we already discussed it thousand times.
Frozen? lol nope. I do not see it as a real cultural phenomenon with impact to the respective country.
Nintendo to Japan? Yes, it had a huge impact (like Sony ) to the country itself.
As for rushing.... I think its the opposite when mentioning Star Wars.
They are doing so little on the parks based on Star Wars.

Thats a good point. Many people have already stated that this attraction will be a draw for the families who find Epcot 'boring'. Not much else in the park is changing so the families who do get sucked in will have few options to turn to.
The upside could be that families who never gave Epcot or WS a chance may discover some of its charms.

I find your comment regarding "evergreen" interetsing.
because ALL console manufactures.. rely on the closed ecosystem as well.
Only Sony seems to have opened themselves a bit more by "merging" games, accounts..etc.. with their mobile and PS3/PS4 consoles.
The more I read RealDizFan, the more I think the guy is a paid PR goon.
I wonder if he's a lifestyler or branded blogger a la ricky.

Doesn't Disney also owns the permissions of all Miyasakis's films as well, right?

When Maelstrom manages approx 60 second intervals and Frozen is shooting for 35 seconds, yeah the capacity will be different. Seriously, do some people really not have the mental capacity to infer anything? Nearly every ride's capacity is dependent on the ride vehicle's capacity x dispatch interval. It has nothing to do with the ride system. When Test Track opened, intervals were nearly twice as long, thus it had horrid capacity until they got intervals cut down significantly. If you double an interval length, capacity is halved. If you cut the interval in half instead, capacity doubles. It's why Thunder Mtn with 3 trains isn't going to have the same capacity as Thunder with 5 on line. Frozen will be no different. It's just more boats on line, an upgrade load/unload procedure and modifying the timing on the lift and switch track. It's not complicated at all. I thought everyone understood such a simple concept without needing to have it explained to them.

Only distribution rights and they did some co-funding on some of the post-Spirited Away stuff. And even with that, GKIDS has mostly taken that over with them distributing the new stuff that's not related to MIyazaki.

I think this kind of land could be dangerous.
I imagine the guys in costumes, punching you and then stealing your car.

...trying way too hard to fix his silly claims from past posts...

Right, so then:
Maelstrom and Frozen will not have the same capacity, the ride system hardware is barely being touched. All facts. What's also a fact is that scenes are bring programmed for intervals almost twice as fast as Maelstrom (which is why some of the hardware is being modified, like adding a block before the switch track). Same amount of riders, but those riders being sent into the ride at a much higher rate. Not sure how to explain it more clearly than that.

Thanks Stephen Hawking, for explaining the complicated equation that 5 trains on BTMR will allow more riders than 3 trains. Did you have to consult with the physicists at CERN to solve that one?
Your still only suggesting that they will cut intervals by nearly 50%. Speeding up the lift or switching load/unload seem like fundamental basics of dispatch interval, but again, you only make claims with no evidence. And the smart azz patronizing attitude does little to improve your credibility. (not that you had much to begin with)

^^ Just trying to fit in I guess. But really, the only point I was attempting to make is that the two rides won't have the same capacity, unless the show scenes are planning on playing twice to each passing vehicle (hey, that's a possibility I guess after The Seas Nemo and Friends ).... But even that wouldn't jive with the fact that they're adjusting the things you've mentioned that are the true drivers for capacity.
