I remember someone mentioning that the DL boarding groups are smaller so they fit more in.I also question how DL manages 50 to 70 more boarding groups each day when the rides essentially clones.

I travel with someone confined to a wheelchair and have had the completely opposite experience. Uni staff and the parks in general were far more accommodating then WDW, where the crowds made navigation difficult, cast was harried, and procedures were often unclear. We stay at Uni now in large part because of how easily a person in a wheelchair can navigate it, thanks largely to the transportation system, compact but not stuffed layout, and great cast.Perhaps, but only for certain segments of the population.
I went to Universal Orlando once, for 3 days, and I have absolutely no desire to ever go back.
As a handicapped person, who can ride 99.5% of the attractions at WDW, I felt as if Universal was telling me at every turn that I shouldn't have set foot in their parks - and I know many others in my situation who feel the same way.
So if they would have spent 1/2 as much you would like the ride better?They’re good rides. I wouldn’t go so far as saying excellent. For the amount they spent on each they should have higher capacities and better set pieces.
Correct, but that has little to do with Genie+.Well, they are letting Europeans in now.
Edit to add: we were in a pandemic when they originally announced the openings. Pretty sure it is a sign that future bookings aren’t hitting their desired demand.
MMRR is absolutely excellent. It’s in the wrong place, but it’s wonderful. RotR is very good but feels underpopulated and is not worth anywhere near the trouble or time it takes to ride. It’s the third best ride in MGM.So I take it you don’t disagree with me that they are excellent rides.
They were announced. Then Delta hit. Then people started cancelling. Keep in mind that at the beginning of the summer everyone was optimistic that this was over.Well, they are letting Europeans in now.

Uni's also had its share of clunkers during that time period.I only said 2017 bc that’s when Disney opened Avatar. Since 2010, when Uni got in gear, they have opened at least 5.
You don’t see how Disney’s inefficiency negatively impacts the guest experience?So if they would have spent 1/2 as much you would like the ride better?
Either way it has almost nothing to do with the new GP$+ ll.
Granted. But they’re expanding very quickly and are building a huge park.Uni's also had its share of clunkers during that time period.
Yup. But those clunkers don’t feature 3 hour waits or force you to get up at 7 and aren’t the first new attraction in a park in a decade. And if one ride is a clunker, wait a year, Uni will build a better one. And won’t spend billions designing complex systems to force you to ride the clunker.Uni's also had its share of clunkers during that time period.
Financially, it will not fail. It's hard to fail when the old price was "included with your ticket."Genie will fail because there are simply too many variables that go into deciding what to ride for the average family. To put it into economic terms (because that is what this is, economics), there is too much consequential knowledge for any program to efficiently allocate scarce resources with alternative uses. Disney is run by a bunch of economically illiterate buffoons who think they can efficiently control everyone. They don’t realize that people don’t like being told what to do and that they don’t know what’s best for everyone else. Let guests make their own decisions.
Uh, Rise is a clunker now?Yup. But those clunkers don’t feature 3 hour waits or force you to get up at 7 and aren’t the first new attraction in a park in a decade.

Didn’t say that, did I? Was thinking in more general terms - or Rat, if you wanted specifics.Uh, Rise is a clunker now?
I mean, I assumed you were talking about the only virtual queue system we’ve ever experienced since you mentioned the ride being the impetus for developing said queuing system. As for Ratatouille, also not sure how that qualifies as a clunker, but whatever floats your boat (or sinks it, as it were), I suppose.Didn’t say that, did I?

Considering all the man hours and IT that goes into it, I am sure it could fail.Financially, it will not fail. It's hard to fail when the old price was "included with your ticket."
I would say it has more to do with genie$+ than it does with covid. The parks will be miserable unless you pay up for the extras.Correct, but that has little to do with Genie+.
