360* Point Of View

Timekeeper (me) offers guests a 360 degree point of view. Okay, so maybe my friend 9Eye has something to do with it, but it's the greatness of me that makes the show.
It seems to me that the popular guest understanding is:
Attraction Open -> ...just like it's supposed to be.
Attraction Closed -> ...I'm not getting my money's worth because ticket prices stayed the same (or increased.)
If a person goes to a theater to see a movie, and the film cuts off 5 minutes prior to the ending, the guest is usually given a refund or voucher to return at their convenience. 5 minutes out of a 2 hour film is a very small percentage. (1/24, actually.) Count the number of attractions at the MK, and the analogy sort of applies. I'm not saying that guests should be refunded if WDW closes a park attraction, but their distraught POV is a valid one.
Actually, if one pays admission to a park to visit a particular attraction, and it's closed, then they could argue "frustration of purpose," a concept belonging to contract law. (Those of you that read case law for fun will recognize the "coronation" as being a famous case establishing this concept.) Hey, a time traveler has a lot of "free time" so to speak.
Anyway, what guests *don't* think about are the two dedicated hosts that will be out of a job once TK does close (...again.) 9Eye told me that she's been offered a high-up position in security at the Venice Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. I will probably take a long awaited vacation. My friends Wilbur and Orville Wright are curious as to what a Stealth plane is. I thought I'd give them first class seats.
Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for take-off.
That's not what I meant, Wilbur, please, put that back on!
