The vast majority of what’s in DHS was acquired or is/was licensed.
A lot of the new GP only care about flashy and thrills. Could care less about the theme of the park. Instead of being transported to a Western themed land they want to hear "Kachow Kachow"
In the words of Mike Wazowski, is that a joke? Tell me you're joking.
Paw Patrol is owned by Nickelodeon, right? The only way I could see Disney gaining ownership of Paw Patrol is if they buy Nickelodeon... which I believe is owned by Paramount. And I can't see Paramount selling Nickelodeon, to Disney would have to buy Paramount as a whole. I'm having difficulty picturing that.
Surely better to have flexibility if it turns out fan reaction isn't quite as expected? Slightly more chaotic but not stuck with construction teams on site and no way to back out imo
If that was remotely true people would go to six flags and save the $300 a night at Disney. Or at least be at universal rather than Disney which we've seen from stats isn't happening.
THat's because all of those are built into the other parks. Magic Kindgom for example has the Utilidoors and the offices over Main Street USA. Epcot has their own tunnel but also has lots of spaces dispersed throughout the park. Most of the country pavilions have second floor offices and warehouse space behind the pavilions for example and the building wings on either side of the park entry gates are also office space. Unfortunately with Animal Kingdom I've never been back stage so I can't speak to that. Ok so with regards to Hollywood Studios, That park is unique in that it was originally built as a Working sound stage with the theme park being secondary. As part of this it was built quite fast and thus most of the office space is back stage and built with adaptability in mind. The downside to this is Hollywood Studios today is being forced to redevelop a lot of backstage offices and other necessary structures to allow for the park expansion.
Paramount just got sold didn’t they? Not sure if that makes anything more or less likely.
This says it all....

I was promoted to oversee efforts on a mission-critical EPCOT transformation initiative, managing 25+ separate project elements and aligning teams on a holistic, concept-to-delivery creative vision (500+ team members and 1,000 combined partners, collaborators, and stakeholders). In this capacity, I serve as the single accountable WDI leader for the EPCOT project, including master planning, story and concept, detailed design, and delivery/construction elements.
Oversaw the largest redevelopment of a Disney theme park in its 65-year history (multi-year transformation of EPCOT), from nascent vision to reality, with the early results well-received by the public.
Note that this includes the "mistake on the lake"
And that's how you succeed in a corporate environment these days kids........
Let’s hope people are right about it going in AC. the evacuation of the offices has to account for something.
That can’t be as big of a deal as some are implying - otherwise Moana wouldn’t have gotten built and we wouldn’t have seen an update to Country Bears.
It means guests are willing to wait 10 minutes to experience the attraction, currently. And willing to wait 9 times as much (90 minutes) for the Tower of Terror attraction. Tower of Terror is a shorter experience but with higher capacity per hour, so makes the 90 minute vs. 10 minute difference even more significant (people willing to wait longer on a ride that moved through people quicker and is ultimately a shorter-lived experience)
Just to be clear, Roger rabbit is one of my favorite movies of all time and I would kill for a new installment. But there’s no denying it’s a dead franchise
Hopefully we find out soon so we can finally put this to bed. @marni1971 even alluded to an announcement tomorrow.
