Is it odd that they're using wheely hedges instead of actual construction walls? Did they lose them after Epcot?
I think it's just that they're focusing on removing theming right now, they started with almost entirely planters and now that's the only chunk. At this point it seems they're just replacing one section each night. Should be fully walls tomorrow, not unusual for a project this vast

many would feel the same way about Florida - the beaches, historic areas, Everglades, etc.

You either want to go to a Disney park or you don’t - personal decision.

Florida is different than Orlando.

Also, "beaches" aren't unique (I have a beach house I can go to whenever I want, e.g., but regardless people go to beaches up and down the entire east coast), and there's not too much of historical interest in Florida outside of a couple of places.

The Orlando area is not remotely comparable to Los Angeles, Paris, or Tokyo.

I would love to see DLP someday, but it just seems unlikely because there are more important things (for me) to see in/around Paris and I can't go there regularly. If I could drive there in a few hours, I'd almost certainly see it.

Regardless, you missed the point. Since the vast majority of Disney guests aren't going to visit multiple parks around the world for a variety of reasons (whether money, time, or something like what I mentioned), it's not really a big deal to have the same attraction at more than one park. It would be unfortunate if they were all clones of one another (and I don't think there's any danger of that happening), but having the same ride at 3 different parks around the world is fine.

Agreed. You only go to Orlando for the theme parks. The same can not be said of the other cities. Orlando is a theme park vacation. LA, Paris, and Tokyo, are broader vacations that might include theme parks.

This isn't the "Dinoland Funeral" thread?!
Ah, now eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs in JP4, right? - YouTube


"You do plan to have DINOSAURS, in your DINOSAUR park, right?

People's argument on here about AK being about animals "past, present, and imagined," and then removing Dinoland made me think of this haha.

Definitely, but the Harry Potter effect is very much a core appeal for Universal. That’s going to manifest at IoA more than any other park and it makes it tough to beat. Ministry of Magic/Wizarding Paris is a tougher sell.
I cannot imagine any Potterheads that don't want to visit the Ministry of Magic (especially after the pictures were released)

I’d actually love to see the data on this. I think there are more of us than most people think.

Ideally there are variations of favorite attractions - big thunder is the best example. Is WDW and Tokyo a 100% clone? All the others are quite different.

If you really want to argue that the Orlando area has as much to draw people as Tokyo, Paris, or Los Angeles if you remove the theme parks, then be my guest, but... you're going to sound silly and no one is going to take you seriously.
No one is really saying this. You live in Florida, visit WDW regularly and own a beach house… so that’s how you feel.

flying back from Paris I was sitting next to a man from France headed for a vacation in florida - I highly doubt he had any plans to visit theme parks.
