Oh, I get exactly what you are referring to. I care about the parks' integrity... but I just don't realistically see a modern Disney create attractions that tie back to the original intention of the park. I can only hope the attraction (with whatever IP is mandated) is decent at this point, unfortunately.That is one of the problems (Not aimed at you though)
Cost and return. There will be a spreadsheet somewhere showing how much it would cost, depreciation over x y and z amount of years, and expected return.
@lentesta may be able to speak to this a little better than myself, but on a recent show he indicated that the number of Lightning Lane's distributed per hour per attraction is "less than 300". Assuming that also applies to the Individual Lightning Lane attractions, the amount of ILL money is probably not as substantial as we once thought.
This. Even if you hate the rides, it still has a cohesive South American theme assuming they follow the plan. Much better than tossing a bunch of unrelated ride facades next to one another.
Should I prepare my bereavement suit for Dinosaur? Or is the dream still alive for me?
its where the moana thing should have gone to begin with...they don't get it.
Guardians pumped through ~400 per hour over a relatively small sample. Or $24.5 million annually, which was a lot lower than I originally suspected, and like you said, a lower impact. It’s the difference between paying for new attractions and simply helping justify them. The former would guarantee a constant stream of new attractions (since they could always be chasing that ILL), so it’s interesting.
At that same time, all this represents is a direct line of income attributable to the attraction. That being said, I'm sure Disney has some sort of internal formula to determine what percentage of the gate is attributable to each attraction, just like they probably have some sort of internal formula to determine what percentage of the Disney+ income is attributable to each title. In 2007 when DAK's attendance increased by 1 million guests I'm guessing they have a pretty strong idea what percentage of that increase was due to Finding Nemo the Musical and what percentage was due to Expedition Everest.
Always love when @marni1971 posts, but it many times (like this time) makes me nervous for the future.
What was the proposed Lion King land for Paris? I'd welcome a small flat ride or even a dark ride near the theater.
There is A LOT of DAS and then you add the “my ride was down” Lightning Lanes.
If it’s the ideas they presented in September I call that for better. A region based concept with quality theming is a good thing and a massive upgrade over what has existed there since day one.
I was of the impression that it was 30-60% of an attraction's capacity with the rest being made up by DAS, make goods and tours. But Per Len the distribution is much lower because the other items are so high.
