If attendance truly is that great I doubt they will see a need. As long as the place is packed to the gills I don’t think they care at a high level.
Which is funny because traditionally, you'd assume the opposite, right?
If attendance is going up, they'd be wanting to expand and capitalize on that, giving room for it to keep expanding.
Instead it's been a corporate game of Tetris to figure out the most efficient way to pack more and more people into the same spaces to make more money without increasing costs and in some cases, probably reducing them.
Now, thanks to G+ and ILL, they now make
more money when capacity is
less so there is actual financial incentive to make the experience on the ground less enjoyable.
People have shown a complete willingness to buy into this.
A number of people on this very forum seem to actually be
delighted by it.
Unless it gets bad enough that people stop going and it hurts them financially, I don't see any reason they'd change and I'm not sure even then, the correct message will make its way through to decision makers.
My hopes and dreams are all pinned to Epic Universe at this point because it feels like the only thing that really could work is embarrassing them and with management that seems to have little pride or shame in their operations anymore, that's going to take a lot. If Disney keeps trying to bill themselves as
THE premium destination experience and someone just down the road has something large and noticeably better
and keeps it better maintained, that might force their hand to improve in the next 10-15 years.
But for that, I think Universal would need build the entire park at Wizarding World standards and that feels like a tall order.
