I think that's true. But keep in mind that WDW has spent the last 5-7 years focused on keeping guests on property for their entire trips-- that was the point of Magical Express and MyW tickets. Universal now has a "killer app" that is going to attract people off-property for the first time, and I think that should have Disney worried.

Exactly! For all my last Disney trips I've basically decided to stay away from universal because I had no interest and I wanted to spend more time at Disney. Now I have a real strong reason to leave Disney and go to Universal!

I really really dislike the use of the term fanboi, it's a completely dismissive phrase that doesn't allow for any rebuttal from the other person. It's similar to comparing something to Hitler/Nazis, it's lazy and poor for the health of a discussion. You are dismissing just as much as they are.

Hopefully it increases attendance and traffic flow to the Universal area in general. A lot of nearby businesses could use the increased business also. I hope Universal does really well with this one because that would encourage them with further improvements and expansion also.
Yep agreed, not a good term at all. Some people need to grow up and post like grown-ups

Insider informations seem to prove, that this "major" new ride is not even a true E-Ticket, look here:

Seems more like a D-ticket. Not exactly what most here expect I believe,

True, but it has already been confirmed that the budget for the ride has since been decreased significantly. Mermaid was touted at first to be a big "E-ticket" and now has been quietly downgraded. HP is going to bring in people from all over the world, TLM not so much...:shrug:

Its all 50/50 from this point on. MGM and AK will if any see the biggest drop in attendance. The other thing is this will attract more people to stay on and around Universal property, drawing a large number of tourists away from the WDW resorts. When this happens you will see Beastly Kingdom come back from the backburner.

This ride looks cool but you have look at it money wise,all the fees that they pay out for the ideas will catch up soon.This park was in money troubles before HP.They just keep bleeding money.

In my opinion MAF, you're putting the cart in front of the horse here. We cannot compare the FLE to WWoHP until both are open, check back in in 2013 when FLE is done.:wave:

And with Florida's beaches being "slicked" I think the attendence will increase as well this summer.
Who is the "Insider?" WDI? And what age group is it a D-ticket for? It's in FANTASYLAND. It will be an E-ticket for kids. That's all that matters really.

But let's remember that length does NOT equal entertainment value. How many scenes does Spider-Man have, exactly? Probably 4 or 5 big ones, with a lot of transition space.

Little Mermaid ought to have 1 big and 5 little scenes. Says Marni
