The T-Rex at the end of this ride looks hilarious. It's just floating in the air.

Lord, I feel sorry for anyone that waits more than 2 seconds for The Simpsons ride.
I'll never forget having to wait FOREVER because it kept breaking down and we were thrown in with a random other family and got stuck in the pre-show waiting room and and then we got stuck on the actual ride and were given jelly beans by the CMs. It was creepy.

That's no different. It always has been floating in the air. There was suppose to be fog that it would be standing on but it didn't always work.

Why are there a million different preshows for that ride? Something to do with attraction timing?

Incorrect. UHS is in the top 10 of US Theme Park Attendance. Double the number of guests at SeaWorld Orlando or Knotts.
UHS is closer in attendance with DCA than most think (UHS 9.1M vs DCA 9.8M in 2018). Considering DCA is literally right next door to one of the most popular amusements parks in the world indicates how impressive UHS numbers really are.

The DCA numbers have and will always be incorrect.
Why? Everything I have been told and seen has the estimate right on the money. Once again, industry standards, that Disney helped to make. Each guest only counts once per day (this is important, as that guest is then placed into a housing standard, did they stay in a Hotel, a day trip, staying with relatives, a Local, etc.). The first park that person enters is the one that counts. Of course, internal numbers track park-hoppers in a separate accounting.

But on the original, the T-Rex floated in air with waterfall style. Now it floats awkwardly in a silly "Roar, I am Reptar" manner.
"I'm just a dinosaur
I don't know what I'm for
I like to stomp and roar
Hey-I'm just a dinosaur!"

Even before Universal had any rides besides the tram tour, it was insanely crowded during weekends and peak months. It remains most tourists' only easy chance to get close to "real movie-making," and also appeals to people who have no interest at all in Disneyland or any "normal" theme parks.

Reptar could kick Barney's posterior. On ice!

It just isn’t accurate. And there have many posts / articles written by various fan sites about this. The first click method doesn’t accurately portray DCAs daily attendance.
And the entire point of my post was that high wait times for USH mean little when comparing park capacity.

i was trying to find an article that was i saw on apple news the other day but can't seem to remember where. It was an interesting article that talked about the lower crowd than expected seasons not only for Disney but for Sea World and Universal which is also affecting Orlando.
It talks about the opening of the new ride in Universal Florida which opened with high stisfactions but has lately been marred by guest dissatisfaction because of the rides constant down time. It also mentions that universal had begun offering promotional discounts to help elevate the crowds.
They question whether Disney and universal finally made the mistake of pricing out some guests and in Disneys decision to block out so many of their passholders in Anaheim.
Has anyone seen this and is there really already discounts and offers being released by Universal? Has the unblocking of castmembers in Anaheim been the only thing done to help stabalize crowds?

From Disneyland to Universal, theme parks are facing a challenging summer
Disney, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld are ramping up promotional activity during the typically potent summer travel season.

The difference between the two? Those are literally all of Universals rides while Disney has easily 8x that to spread out crowds
Capacity is also a big factor.

While DCA was thought of as a stand alone back when it opened in 2001 by those in charge. In reality, it is a secondary park that lives off of Disneyland.
A simple arguement. You place Knott's in DCA's location, and move DCA to Buena Park. You no longer offer any sort of parkhoppers. Just single day, multi-day tickets and Annual/Season Passes.
It is clear that Knott's attendance would go up due to the location.
And DCA's would go down. But what would be the DCA pricing. No way would it support a $149 ticket.
