Why are we counting attractions or net gains like that is a bar of success? A spinner being replaced with massive attractions are not the same thing. I think doing a little critical thinking here would go along way with this topic. Capacity, scope, and quality of ride should be what we are really talking about, not ride count.

It’s like opening up gifts on Christmas morning. Do you want 15 pairs of socks, or a PlayStation?

Agreed. But where has something like that happened?

Fast and fallon are bombs, but are either being fixed and replaced WHILE expansion is happening and has been happening for fifteen years.
Quality will always be a bit subjective even though there are definite attractions that do not please enough.
I dislike Rockit from a theme perspective, but for most people, it is not "socks." It has been a thrill ride that served many a major thrill ride's life expectancy even with its outrageous cost of issues and legal problems.
If you want to do that Christmas Day analogy:
We got socks in the stockings, but we are also getting a Next GEN PlayStation bundle (EPIC)

Same family member is getting our cousins in Texas are also getting a PlayStation, even if not a bundle (kid focused smaller park)

Even if we don't love all the socks (Fallon and Fast)


Universal has been more successful at this in the last fifteen years.

Even with the meh ride replacements.

There were additions that were dirt or nothing before.
There are not many examples of that other than Tron and Rat after stagnation with WDW's 22 square miles and far more resources including budget.


If you are truly fine and genuine with throwing out that barometer completely (there is a balance in all things though) where ride or attraction count does is no matter and quality, and scope is most important...

then EPIC will be certainly superior to any of WDW's parks right now WHILE being an entire addition.

You also admit that is a focus if Universal is planning to replace Fast and Rockit in the near future. They could just leave the ride count.

Would you say EPCOT's overhaul or lack there were worth the drought and quality and scope? How about Tron where nothing happened for over a decade in that land minus shuttering an attraction? Critical thinking going a long way here indeed.

I take this as a good sign. It says to me there are still folks on the inside fighting to keep the muppets.

It’s too bad TWDC doesn’t have a leader that would simply say, “stay away from the Muppets. If we are not going to literally expand the park and we must destroy and replace, find a space that is under used like the launch bay, to put a new attraction.”

Alas, there is no leadership at TWDC.

While I’m happy this at least gives Muppets a fighting chance, this scares me that if they don’t have a site decided on then how are they gonna decide what’s in the land? How it’s configured? Wouldn’t you make those decisions in planning?

Really hope it’s not a “flex” land that you could just drop anywhere. This project has so much possibility I don’t want them to mess this up.

You are clearly the Universal version of a pixie duster. Your arguments are biased, lack critical thinking and quite frankly tell the story you want to tell. You seem too willing to give Universal a pass on almost anything and anything they do well, you inflate. Just saying a little open mindedness may make for a better conversation on your part.

Mostly nonsense and dribble. I couldn’t even begin to get through this.

So much so you read it, responded and then quoted again in a post of yours with this insult? I called two of Universal's attractions bombs in the post you quoted twice and a third attraction that had major issues and I don't like, but somehow you could could not read once. A piece of advice, don't quote someone twice for emphasis and insult them with claims if you did not even read what was said either time. It is a hard life, but you will make it.

Unpopular opinion? IOA losing The Amazing Adventurs of Spiderman so Disney can have Marvel would be a bigger loss than Disney losing RoA and Muppet Vision combined... If Disney ever gets the rights to Marvel in Orlando (with the assumption that IOA would lose it and they wouldn't somehow coexist), the best thing WDW could do with the new IP (IMHO) would be to offer to also take/move Spiderman (I'd accept if they wanted to somehow include minor upgrades to make it Tom Hollands Spiderman).

I read both of your posts not sure I comprehended all of it. My initial response is just as valid if not more so.

Be well.

It was the same post, you just quoted it twice. So which is it, you read that I critiqued Universal in that post, or am I a pixie duster for Uni?

Back up such claims please or cease. Just because you don't understand something does not mean you insult the person stating it.

I don't even mind an insult or a jab, but thanks for the be well, because another unfounded claim-based insult and it becomes the kind of thing that needs to be reported.
