I've been thinking for a while about just what Disney might do with their waterparks over the coming years and decades especially after the opening of Volcano Bay.
With every announcement or special event like the 50th happening, it feels almost everyone seems to overlook the waterparks.
Rarely is something new ever added to either of the waterparks on property yet I feel so much could be added. Waterpark ride technology has advanced so much since both parks opened that they're falling behind innovation-wise. I would like to note that in no way am I saying either Waterpark isn't successful, TL is the 2nd most visited waterpark in the world and BB is 3rd, I'm talking purely offering-wise.
Below is a list of questions I've been thinking of and would love to hear everyone's thoughts on! (some are a little crazy but I'm thinking long term plans )
Does Disney see Volcano Bay as a threat to their waterpark attendance and do they feel the need to compete with them?
Does Disney not want to heavily invest in either park because they are already the most popular on earth?
Does Disney want to / should Disney add more newer higher thrill water attractions like toilet bowls, wall slides where you're vertical, more advanced water coasters, water play structures, etc?
Is it a bad idea to continue investing in waterparks if the public opinion on "excessive" water use changes in the coming decades?
Would Disney see more worth in shutting down one of the water parks entirely to make more space for a new park far in the future as it would almost assuredly bring in more revenue and guests?
*if there is a thread this would fit into better please direct me there *
