The practical reason for them to replace dinosaur is likely the AAs are at the end of their lifespan…

So you gut it…replace it with new stuff that they don’t have to develop (clone)…spend 3-5 years doing it…then slap a “new!!” And a fastpass charge on it for another 5

…it doesn’t get more “practical” than that for the house of “magic”

We just saw this in another park to the north/northeast

And how exactly do they this? Hmm?

Actually they are the best private information gathering operation out there

Though they used to be better at it

They often have the results predetermined and steer you to the only landing spot…while embedding the actual focus they’re trying to get with bits and pieces of other questions

Legitimately asking.

One way is to manipulate the wording used. For example:

"How you rate the value for the price you paid for Lightning Lane Premier Pass today?"

Excellent
Very good
Good
Just okay
Poor

(Disney does use that answer scale, I have screenshots)

Instantly, you have an 80% chance of what could be considered a "positive" answer. Then you get Josh on stage saying, "80% of guests have a positive opinion of Lightning Lane Premier Pass!", even though the aggregate number received was actually a 1.9 on a 5-point scale (totally making up numbers in that last sentence). With multi-choice answers, you can provide 90% positive responses and hide the negative 10% by mixing them in with the positive items to potentially manipulate what boxes get checked. If you want true opinions, you use unbiased language and provide a equal balance of answers, plus potentially a text box to provide additional feedback.

You can influence someone's mindset by using positive language early in a survey, then ask questions.

You can also manipulate who you survey. Do you want to survey the family that looks angry, stomping out of MK, or do you want to survey the family laughing with bags under their arms and smiling? They also send surveys that often close within 48 hours of a park visit, so they are trying to get people still on "the high" from a park visit, rather than 30-45 days later once the credit card bills hit, plus you've had time to reflect on things.

A misunderstanding has occurred. There was no promise that it’s exclusively expanded capacity. It’s capital investment of any sort, which obviously this is new capital investment. Even “new capital investment” is only 70%.

A further significant investment is not even really what you’d deem new at all, like the BTMM retrack. Thats still from another 30% sub-pot that’s more along the refurb pool.

“The Walt Disney Company is developing plans to accelerate and expand investment in its Parks, Experiences and Products segment to nearly double capital expenditures over the course of approximately 10 years to roughly $60 billion, including by investing in expanding and enhancing domestic and international parks and cruise line capacity.”

Oh I don’t think there’s any confusion there

“Investment”…and I’ll remind to trust ONLY the shovels…doesn’t mean “capacity” at all.

Unfortunately capacity is the only effective way to provide a solution for the “slide” we have seen in Orlando

But “investment” can be nothing but expensive maintenance…as splash and now CTX are getting.

Once camp cretaceous became popular(animated kids show set in movie universe), Disney waved the white flag. Universal has an all ages franchise with content for every relevant age group. Disney doesn't feel it's worth the effort to try and compete there.

Not saying it's right, but i sorta get it.

Yeah, we are definitely a Disney family but my kids like Camp Cretaceous. I had asked my younger (she's 10) which of the areas of the Universal Kids park they are building in TX she would be most interested and that is the one she gravitated to

Can see why Disney would see a ton of other IP is more attractive and more associated to their brand than anything dinosaur related

Wrong intrepretation, poor choice of words by me!

There are plenty of people here that think that Disney will get cold feet and not follow through and change Dinosaur to Indy. They keep double-downing and so now I'm keeping bookmarks.

I'm willing to bet those naysayers.

Dinosaur to Indy is happening!

Lol I got confused when Len took that bet after his last blog post. Thought I missed something!

Human biases are impossible to avoid in any form of surveying, however, what is suggested here is incredibly off from reality

Can someone explain how this is considered “an expansion” when there is no net-new attraction count? Are we bending the definition to suit the “$60 billion” statements?

The aim is to increase the park’s capacity. This is doing that. We lost two “attractions” but are gaining what they provided in capacity and then some in return.
