That is because the first half was Eisner's tired years which had a few big projects left. Mission Space, Everest, Toy Story Mania and then Iger which had nothing of note in E Tickets for a good while until Fantasyland expansion.
You keep bouncing from one altitude to another, so I guess I have no idea what you're even attempting to measure. At first, you were talking about WDI as a whole, but afterward, you kept re-framing everything from the perspective of a single park within a multi-park resort complex (which itself is one among multiple resorts). Do you actually want to talk about the lag between significant WDI projects, or do you want to talk about how things have felt like they're spread thin when viewed from the perspective of a single park within the larger portfolio?
You can take a microcosm on this one and get the same result.
Again, I think the first half of the 2010's was bad, and even with that the latter half was impressive and the "rate of E-tickets" in the last 10, even with Covid, is at least comparable to the "rate" of the "Disney Decade" (and some of the attractions you listed I do not see as E-Tickets).
Covid was a speed bump.
This is my family's feeling as well. The parks themselves are better, but there is frustration with cost, LL, and planning aspects.
As they should. 2014 was when stagnation hit critical mass.
You’re showing your bias by choosing the two weakest projects on the list to ask this question.
Dude, you made a statement ...
... that was clearly untrue, which I responded to. That you keep bouncing around to talk about different things now is whatever. I'm just saying that it's factually untrue that there are decade-long gaps between significant WDI projects. It's not a matter of opinion. It's just wrong. If you actually meant something else with that statement about the state of each individual park or whatever, then great, but that's not how it reads, and I've little interest in discussing whatever tangents you want to tack on now since they have nothing to do with my initial post and even less to do with this topic in particular.
You listed them as significant WDI.
The problem is that none of the new attractions are clear “home runs” - they all have significant downsides. I love MMRR, for instance… but it replaced another attraction I ALSO loved, so it’s a lateral move. The closest thing to a pure “win” is Avatar Land, but that land still feels underbuilt and the water ride is one third of an attraction.
Fair enough.
I listed them as major projects at WDW. Which they were. You singled them out and ignored the many other more significant and more successful projects.
I don’t think I can agree with that statement.
No goal post. I hear the terms signifigant to WDI and showstopper and hear legacy don't you? Literally entertainment and artistic terms.
In his defense, he said “great.”
I think this shows the "matter of taste" element though so many seem to disagree with. Cause I would say that RotR, FoP, and heck even Tron are at least in the conversation for many. You may not agree, but I believe they are the same "caliber" of attraction.
Well, you are also fine with Hatbox wdw placement and are bias to company.
