I love the title: "Disney Gambles On $100 Million Roller Coaster"
It will be worth it, though. I have been to WDW twice with my husband since AK was open and we never went to it. It will be the first park we visit when we go back next year, so personally it's a safe bet.
I love the term "gamble". A 199 foot tall mountain, the most impressively themed ride ever and one of the largest and most advanced anamatronics in Disney history. Yeah no one will go there for that.
