This thread’s title sounds like those clickbait pop up ad scams that show up on the sides of web pages.

Actually, that would read, "Ten Things That Joe Rohde Would Really Hate (and number 7 will blow your mind!)"

I think I get your point.

Every area of DAK has some level of 'Chester&Hester Syndrome', to varying degrees. Just because what you see is intentional and quite intricate design does not mean the final result is pleasing. DAK often loses itself in its own cleverness. Deliberate ugliness, intentional cheap looks, decay, or backstories driven too far or being too specific.

To put it differently, if you spend $150 million to make something look like $2.00 garbage, then it looks like $2 garbage. Just with a great coffee table book devoted to it.

Sounds like you’d prefer the Asia and Africa that never was and always will be.

Which at one point was what EPCOT Center was going to get:

And in some way is what Animal Kingdom Lodge is.

My point is what every one is missing is the amount of detail is that’s in the ride is so impressive and when you see something like that it’s not

It’s part of the themed purpose; everything exists a certain way for a reason, it’s essential to design

Expedition Everest didn’t cost $300 million. Disney’s Animal Kingdom had cuts. It was the first post-Euro Disney park and was slashed at just like Disney’s California Adventure and Walt Disney Studios Park. That the park doesn’t get lumped in with those second gates as cheap disasters should be a testament to something.

Everest cost ALOT

and dak went WAAAAYYYYY...over budget.

But this is the real corporate stuff...nothing really follow disclosed even in the public filings type stuff. Groupings are legally effective to diffuse costs.
