DHS Makeover - What we know so far.....

[Donaldfan1934]

But not east of the Mississippi or it'd violate the Marvel contract with Uni.

The Guardians weren't a part of that contract back in the day.

No. Not half. The freaking Brooklyn Bridge cost about $400M in today's dollars, and Disney ain't building the Brooklyn Bridge.

What did they spend on the DTD garages?

Yeah exactly. I was talking more of a new ride.

Again.... put a pin in this until the next GotG film comes out....

I don't doubt the 3.5 billion number at all. But there is NO WAY 2.8 billion is being spent on 1 park.
DLR is getting 1.5 billion and that includes huge infrastructure, a large Marvel land in DCA and what looks to be a massive Star Wars land. Double that for 1 park? Not realistic!!

Have you seen DHS lately? It needs $2+ billion worth of work.

Well, it's happening so...

A week? Thats being generous. Joined Sunday.

 

[CapitanEo]

Remember, this is a company that spent over 1 billion on an app and some RFID chips

Maybe he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

It is understandable given the current track record at WDW. If our insiders hadn't proven themselves in the past it would make it impossible to believe. 3 bil to rebuild a park, how often does that get approved around here?

What did they spend on the DTD garages?

The permit documents filed for the garages actually listed the cost, it was about $50 million each.

 

[ChrisM]

A $1.5 billion parking garage would be federal-government-levels of project mismanagement. You could build a parking garage that flies for that kind of money.

Don't forget that $500mm of that is earmarked for power converters from Toshi Station.

Wipe your feet before putting them on the table please.

And a completely updated wireless infrastructure and all new POS devices, etc, etc.

(Which would have been a lot cheaper if the POS terminals weren't needed. Or worked as planned.)

But we digress.

Yes we do digress but now that we have......The only problem I have had with the POS systems are the tiny buttons. I have small hands and I still think the buttons are too small for PIN entry.

And a lot of teambuilding lunches! Lots of steak.

Ok, so the garage at DHS would have to be much bigger, so you're probably talking $200m.

 

[Bocabear]

Isn't that what they spent on the Tangled Toilets?
