Huh. I queried a few AI programs how to make a great Princess and the Frog attraction and none of them suggested a log flume through a salt mine.
Only humans can make a mistake like what they are doing to Splash mountain.
I am giving a lot of trophies out today.

Who would have thought that soulless AI and machine learning was the key to building a family friendly wholesome entertainment and leisure travel provider?

This is the ultimate end result of around two decades of failed leadership, gross mismanagement, and flagrent incompetence at the executive and managerial level. At this point how much worse could it get? It is truly pathetic that not a single person "in charge" can figure out what is going wrong for them and figure out how to right the ship.

Any normal observer would think that this is total parody, but sadly it is real, and it reveals the true total rot within TWDC.

Executive: "Hey DisneyAI, should we raise prices on tickets, food and drinks?"
DisneyAI, who has only been fed data that says you should raise prices: "Yes!"
Executive: "Well, if the machine says so....."

You're already seeing questions about AI and performance degradation, so maybe don't get too excited, company executives!

Does Disney AI pay for ever increasing health insurance and if AI get hurts on the job, does the company pay for the extensive medical costs, care and therapy?😉

For fun, here's my prompt and response from ChatGPT -

Prompt: Please come up for a pitch for a ride based on Princess and the Frog. What ride system would you use? Where in Walt Disney World would you put it?

Response:

Pitch: "Bayou Adventures: A Magical Journey with Tiana"

Step into the enchanting world of New Orleans and experience the heartwarming tale of Tiana and her friends in a captivating ride called "Bayou Adventures." This immersive attraction combines cutting-edge ride technology with the beloved characters and music from Disney's "Princess and the Frog." Get ready to be transported to the vibrant and mystical bayou, where dreams come true and magic reigns supreme.

Ride System:
"Bayou Adventures" would utilize a combination of advanced dark ride technology, animatronics, 3D projection mapping, and immersive sets to create an unforgettable experience. The ride vehicles would resemble charming wooden boats, each accommodating a small group of visitors. These boats would navigate through various scenes, seamlessly transitioning between physical sets and projected environments.

Attraction Highlights:

Duke's Jazz Lounge: Begin your journey at Tiana's restaurant, where you'll be introduced to the lively atmosphere of New Orleans and the importance of dreams. Animatronic characters, including Tiana, Louis the trumpet-playing alligator, and Ray the firefly, set the stage for your adventure.

Bayou Enchantment: Cruise through the magical bayou, where stunning 3D projections transform the environment with fireflies, sparkling water, and mystical creatures. Encounter Mama Odie's cabin and witness her enchanting powers as she helps visitors discover the magic within themselves.

Mardi Gras Celebration: Join Tiana and her friends in a lively Mardi Gras parade, complete with vibrant floats, music, and dancing. 3D projection mapping and animatronics bring the festive atmosphere to life as you feel the energy of the celebration.

Shadow Man's Lair: Face off against the formidable Dr. Facilier in a thrilling encounter deep within the bayou. Witness his dark magic and immerse yourself in the intense atmosphere as you narrowly escape his sinister plans.

The Final Bayou Transformation: As you journey towards the finale, experience the heartwarming scene where Tiana's dreams come true. Through a combination of animatronics, projection mapping, and special effects, witness Tiana and Naveen's enchanting transformation into human form.

Location:
"Bayou Adventures" would find its home in the Magic Kingdom's New Orleans Square, an expansion of the park inspired by the rich culture and architecture of the city. Nestled between Liberty Square and Adventureland, this new area would transport guests to the charming streets of New Orleans, complete with cobblestone paths, gas lamps, and lively music. The ride's entrance would be designed to resemble Tiana's restaurant, providing a seamless transition from the park's existing themes.

"Bayou Adventures: A Magical Journey with Tiana" offers a unique blend of storytelling, technology, and beloved characters, making it a must-visit attraction for Disney fans of all ages. Get ready to experience the magic, music, and heartwarming moments of "Princess and the Frog" like never before!

Ride operations seems like one of the places where AI could be huge for Disney parks. For example, an AI could be trained monitor attractions and queues for rule violations. Suppose someone is taking pictures on attractions or using the dreaded flash photography. The AI could be trained to monitor for violations of the rules and then allow park security to apprehend rule breakers. Those who cut queue lines could also be identified and dealt with by security after repeated violations. The AI could also be trained to identify altercations in the parks and automatically dispatch security.

Another possibility, the ride dispatch process could be automated. The AI could monitor lap restraints, close doors, and dispatch rides. While human attendants would still be present, the size of the staff could be reduced.

This all sounds a bit creepy admittedly, but it's all very possible. We'll see.
