Do you know if the location/implementation of MMRR at DLP is as awkward as it looks in the DLP rumour mill?

It should be fine. That area was always designed for a large attraction. It’ll just be a bit different for those used to the bypass corridor.

What’s the budget?

Perhaps YOU shouldn’t go there again.
Would this be cheaper to clone? Only if they already have a warehouse to put it in with an adequate facade and preexisting queue. The situation in DHS is somewhat unique. Still, for Disney, it’s a cheap E-ticket, easy to place in a box, and should prove popular due to its quality and the fact that it’s a Mickey Mouse ride. Kind of a slam dunk.
I’ve been asked to not release absolute numbers here (for those who believe me), but more than Everest, less than Rat. Not that this should be a huge surprise.

If you say budget three times, tigerlight appears...

I’ve been meaning to ask this for about a week now — A) do we know whether the contractor for MMRR and/or Rat is the same as the one for ROTR? And B) Is MMRR experiencing any of the same bugs that ROTR is trying to solve on both coasts?
Depending on your settings, of course!

This is actually a very good question I have been meaning to ask some of the insiders. Trackless technology is something Disney has been heavily featuring in some of their most recent attractions and I am wondering if each of these ride systems is similar, in that they are using similar technology that belongs to WDI, or if each contractor is bringing their own form of trackless tech.

Legit question, forgive me if it comes across wrong. How do you have absolute numbers on costs? Are you or a family member a Disney employee?

Im going to take a wild guess here and he will not tell you. Or maybe had has a good friend that works for Disney. It not uncommon to have people tell friends things from work they aren't suppose too.

I don't mean to speak for the insiders, but its never really described how they have numbers. It is assumed they have connections somehow or another to either Disney employees, WDI, contractors, etc. You don't have to believe anything the insiders say; they are just usually correct in what they post here in accordance with what is announced officially by the company. A caveat of them providing info is they are usually very vague and cryptic (I'm looking at @marni1971) in the information they provide to protect their sources and not reveal too much. Tigerlight is known for not believing a good amount of what the insiders say (particularly about price), but most everyone else believes the insiders so they kind-of bash on the naysayers.

It’s more than one friend and sometimes info conflicts for whatever reason. Sometimes they are very clear that “this is for your ears only.” Budgets are often tightly held. But between Everest and Rat, I think, is a good enough ballpark for our discussions.

I figured. I get the for your ears only sometimes as well. I believe you for sure.
Is a MMRR having issues? (Genuine question)
Three figures. Quite a bit more than Everest. Quite a bit less than Tron.

YepProbably more than what it would have cost to upgrade/change GMR.

Does it crack $200 mil?
I mean realistically let's say it would have cost $75 mil more for this to have been a Voyage of the Little Mermaid replacement with an additional $75 mil going into a major update to GMR. Considering how poorly and inefficiently they spend money I'd think this would have been a much better operational benefit at the cost of an additional $150 mil.

An extra $100m could have completely redid GMR and built MMRR elsewhere. Pennies compared to what they’ll spend to add yet another E-ticket when they inevitably determine the park needs more.
