So if Disney is not going to buy it, whom do we think will? Federal Realty Investment Trust? They own several shopping malls around CA including the 3rd St Promenade in Santa Monica.

Weird how some people seem to defend everything Disney does even when they're clearly detrimental to the quality of the park and justify these changes by saying they're financially beneficially as if they have a personal cut of the profits
Buy stock in the company.

I’m actually more interested in what the final price will turn out to be!
Objectively, if MB was a mistake or irrelevant, RSR wait times should still be at 120 minutes. It hasn’t been 120 minutes wait time since MB opened.

Well to be honest I’ve been on it and his assessment is pretty close to mine. Again, it’s not that MB is bad or not fun, it’s just not as good as TOT IMO.
Also, I don’t think you need to ride an attraction to have an opinion. I think you can get about 80% of an attraction by watching a ride through. Must of us have tons of theme park experience and can try to fill the other 20% using that. You don’t need to ride MB to see that they took beautiful 3D environments in the show scenes and made them 2D. What’s left? The thrill component, which is give or take the same as TOT?

I’ve checked the app plenty of times and it was at 120.
By my own logic, Disney did the right thing. TOT isn’t nearly as popular as MB. So what’s the logic of having TOT along side MB using the same ride system?
MB already demonstrated it can compete with the big guys. TZ was no match.
Not on a regular basis. RSR was 120 at peak periods when MB was also close to 120. You’re lucky if TZ ever exceeded 60 minutes wait times.

FYI Disney didn't auction any of that stuff off. Those were all private parties.

For what it's worth, MB is 35 minutes right now, and RSR is 75.
Now I'm going to make blanket statements and say things like RSR is NEVER below 75 minutes since MB opened!

Maybe not. I don’t check often enough but definitely been at 120 on more than one occasion. Remember, MB is only 6 months old. Let’s see how long the waits are after 13 years.
I checked right this minute. RSR is 40 minutes. MB is 55 minutes. My point is still you have a chance to go on RSR.
Getting back to GardenWalk, and others folks have hinted, I will be more blunt, PLEASE start a new thread for the current Off Topic discussion.
I was just reading the LoopNet listing for AGW, and it mentions that AMC Theaters is coming this year. Makes sense, relocating the DtD location. Plenty of room where Toby Keith's was going upstairs.

Interesting news. The previous theater closed at GW. It’s a big risk to assume business will be better. Nonetheless, there is more life after the House of Blues opened.

And you really think Disney isn't getting a cut out of those auctions? C'mon...

And no, your logic was that by opening a quality attraction (MB), it frees up the glut of people wanting to ride RSR, thus reducing its wait time. And if that's indeed true, then it should have been in Disney's best interests to build a brand new GOTG attraction to present another option of thrill ride for guests to go on, thus reducing wait times for the other attractions at the same time.
Look at it this way, with CS down for a while, DCA has maybe 4 big-ticket attractions (MB, RSR, TSMM, and Soarin'). They could have had 5, had they given GOTG a new build. You seem to be intent on proving that doing that would have somehow made the park...worse???
Wrong. That’s your rebuttal following your logic. What’s missing is TZ will never be as popular to reduce wait times for RSR or a potential new Guardians. Thus, Disney has to still seek a replacement for TZ. As for CS, it is no better than TZ in reducing wait times for any attraction especially for TSM. The makeover for CS long overdue and may help once it becomes the Incredicoaster.

Disney never had to seek a replacement for TZ. What are you smoking?
Also, keep on claiming TZ isn't popular. I know you believe it so hard...
While you're at it, just forget about the fact that it has been around since 1959, was just greenlit for a new series reboot, and has influenced countless forms of media in the years between. You only need to mention the words "Twilight Zone" and everyone already knows what you're talking about. So yeah...people must clearly hate it!
