As someone who has spent time in Europe for the past seven summers...may I strongly encourage you to go out and explore things. The world is really a remarkable place away from the computer desk

31. No kids, no marriage!
Oh believe me, I count myself as a rare-case. All of my closest friends are working on their third child right now.
Well thankfully, in Black Panther, the King of Wakanda goes to a housing project in California where he plans to build a center to educate the community and share Wakanda's technology for the betterment of humanity. They could easily build such a location in DCA, with or without the entrance being a housing project courtyard with a ship parked out front in a basketball court. A star tours-like journey to Wakanda is the bare minimum zero effort outcome of a Black Panther ride and it would still be cool.
see above.
Screenz. I'm bored already.
Not the case at all. 2.5 billion being spent in california through 2025 in exchange for a zero gate tax extension on tickets through 2040. The same amount of money as Paris, except that kind of investment doesn't make the news here in the same way. Also, the announcements are phased; star wars, new parking, new hotel, marvel, mission breakout, eventually fantasyland and tomorrowland before the 70th/75th. The plans are actually very similar to what is happening in paris. Paris is just lucky that their park s***ed more than DCA and requires an epcotification of its layout with IP. We already had 1.2 billion dumped in DCA after its original 600 million plus 70 for TOT plus monsters etc. Marvel and Pixar on the way. Disneyland resort is bursting at the seems, insanely successful now, and can't expand fast enough, so even if california was harder to do business in than Paris (ha!!, no way) it has a market that supports that investment at any cost. Meanwhile, paris is getting this aggressive expansion with confidence that it'll work, following the success of dca's reinvestment, but really, with more risk, because it is bringing a huge new park basically to a park that only gets 4 million visitors a year.
Would look better than the backlot area in front of Monster's Inc!
Just about anything will look better than that!
Agreed. I consider it a failure because I don't like it, but that doesn't make it a failure. Our pushback in the states to this project is only stronger in Europe, where audiences I think are far less gullible to hollywood synergy and view the whole operation through a lens of cultural imperialism. Hollywood Tower Hotel is exotic to them and true quality, and given that it is one of the only successful attractions in WDSP, and basically the wienie for the whole park, highly visible at its entrance, it would have been a really bad move to overlay it. Not only because of its location etc once it is open, but because the park is practically on life support. Closing tot for any amount of time would be a risk they aren't willing to take.
What a nightmare. That is more than TOT cost to begin with. They could have just built a separate guardians ride.
