It’s the best attraction that has been in that building.

I think the original sin of hurriedly throwing up clones of that out of desperation was the problem
Especially that one

While we all seem to agree this is a positive move…unfortunately the timing of it is obvious.
In a months time this may result in zero positive net change - unfortunately

You should watch the featurette about the “research” for Everest
It was a cortège of about 50 people slogging through the Khartoum airport
Things didn’t go the way you’re making them out to have gone. Projects became jobs programs instead of capital construction…which isn’t “the way”
Bruce , Colglazier, Catherine Powell, Rohde all seem to hook up post Disney careers. Bruce and Rohde both " retired " from Disney , Powell was fired from Disney went to Airbnb and Bruce reported to her , Colglazier went to be CEO of Virgin Galactic with Rodhe as an exec for Virgin .With Iger back, Bruce returns to co manage WDI with Barbara , now Barbara a Chapek hire " leaves" Disney. Now Bruce runs WDI. As the world turns... Some say talking about WDI execs having control but in the end its Iger who looks for who he can control.
Lay low, keep quiet and keep your exit package. Chapek left with $23M.

Not sure what other divisions at WDW will enable her to “create an even bigger impact for world” given her experience and core competencies.

They always kinda write it that way
Bob has gotten a lot of play out of axing “Chapek’s people” though

Since when do “core competencies” play a part? Chapek didn’t seem to have any.

Not enough heat has been thrown Bob’s way for chapekSince when do “core competencies” play a part? Chapek didn’t seem to have any.
If the board was anywhere close to competent…they would have made major management structure/policy changes immediately upon his ouster
I have stories for you

Rohde is not an “exec” at Virgin Galactic. He merely serves as a consultant with the flowery title of “experience architect. You could even say it doesn’t mean much to him as it’s not even listed on his LinkedIn.
Virgin Galactic has brought in Joe Rohde as a strategic advisor to help design and guide the overall experience journey for future astronauts, friends and family, and inspired fans alike.
Virgin Galactic
Virgin Galactic is launching a new space age, where all are invited along for the ride.

So where does WDI go from here? In their present form they aren’t capable of fulfilling Bob’s recent comments or any of the blue sky stuff, or $60B (lol) in future capital spending.
Are they hiring? Attracting the best talent? You’d figure that for anything of significance to be done this decade that this would be occurring already?
It’s also a lazy to blame Chapek for this. The institutional rot was well metastasizing before he was “in charge”.

It’s a really odd thing going on. She was president over a division that will create themed attractions that tens of millions will experience each year - but that doesn’t have the reach she was hoping for?
If most of the creative work is outsourced, does it?

I don’t think so. I think there’s more to what makes Cosmic Rewind special than just Vekoma’s contribution.
Put another way, I don’t view Irrational Games as making a less significant contribution to the gaming world because Bioshock used the Unreal engine.
