Then if Disney runs on pure greed (as is so often posted on here) why did they not build "Frozen Land" ? Why did their greed not drive them to spend more if they could make more? Call them many things, but they know how to squeeze a dollar out of folks
Simple... it takes more risk to spend money to make money then it does to just keep squeezing the existing stuff you have. Their greed is not offset by their risk aversion.

I was thinking Bill & Ted era
Honestly I saw him in those B&T movies first and I could never accept him as a action star in Speed or Matrix etc.....

But it's popular and it fits well with this thread and the mass audience loves it. So if people like it, why can't they use it in every response they post here?

Lots of people enjoyed it that way certainly. They probably still would. However, I feel like Disney created this issue slowly over time.
Characters have been in Epcot going all the way back to Wonders of Life with the Goofy fitness area. Then in 1995 with The Lion King going into The Land. The Epcot Character Spot came in in the late 90's as well I believe. The old character bus in WS.
So while those may have been small integrations, it made guest want MORE. So looking at that slow timeline of additions, can you really say you're surprised they eventually built character driven attractions?

I wonder how many people who use it have actually seen the film.

People always tend to say that they want more of what they already know. That's why creatives are hired to create.

I myself have seen the film, yet I still utilized the GIF earlier in this thread for the reverse purpose. I guess a GIF of someone clapping is only used to be just that; virtual applause. :shrug: Though if we are going to begin using it in context...

You now what would be cool....a "ghost" Olaf in the boat during the ride, like the ghost in the carriages at HM.....and that linked to a Memory Maker / Photo Pass (or whatever the current name of it is) picture on the ride.
Oh and Olaf is wearing viking horns and carrying a little sword in his stick hand and sitting on the bow of the boat...
Cheesy? Oh you bet it is but that would make me smile.
Other than that rather nerdy wish I am really excited to see what they do with the queue and the crowd movement. It will be interesting to see what they come up with to handle the crowds. If they come up with nothing new that will be a let down. I am not waiting 2 hours even to see little viking Olaf...

All this crap about Epcot...science...multiculturalism...blah,blah,blah. Got it Tequila=Mexico, Beer, Pretzels=Germany, Pokemon=Japan. Pretty deep, huh?
Face it, EPCOT Center's mid-'70s hippie message of Multiculturalism and Responsible Environmental Management isn't "in" these days. Now it's all about Maximizing Profits, crass commercialism, and Me!

That's not really making good use of Olaf. After all, he can sing and dance:You now what would be cool....a "ghost" Olaf in the boat during the ride, like the ghost in the carriages at HM.....and that linked to a Memory Maker / Photo Pass (or whatever the current name of it is) picture on the ride.
