I love Disney because it's very Disney-ish, I love Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure because it's very UniversalStudios/Islands of Adventure-ish! Uuhhh....you know what I mean!
I spend a week at both when I visit Florida and have a great time at both, yes Disney is my favourite just for the pure magic feeling, but I also think IOA is lots of fun and WWOHP is brillant in detail. It is possible to love and respect both, both have positives and negetives.

You hit the nail on the head. Gotta give Disney credit for Mission: Space though.

Except that was one of Disney's worst failures yet. That attraction is simply awful and a complete waste of millions of dollars. They should have stuck with Horizons.

Hmm where did I declare that my opinions are truth and everyone else is wrong? :shrug:

Everest or Mission Space. You have to give Everest credit. The switchtrackes on Everest are very impressive. The whole ride is really incredible. Mission:space, as much of a flop this is, you have to give it credit for reaching into new HORIZONS and creating a centrifuge. These are both 100 million dollar rides greenlit by Eisner and I respect Eisner for taking a chance on Mission:Space. All and all These two rides are incredibly engineered feats of technology.

Respectfully, I don't think this is a solid argument. They wouldn't still be releasing material if the franchise weren't still popular with audiences.
As a counter-example, James Bond has been releasing films for half a century, with the most recent coming out in 2008 and another scheduled for next year. I doubt many people would say that character has yet to prove his staying power because new material is still being released featuring him, instead of acknowledging the stream of new material over time as evidence of the franchise's lasting popularity.
And I know I'm a bit late on this, but as much as I love Tolkien, it's not like he invented all his concepts from whole cloth. Just to use one example, Gandalf is clearly an example of the senex archetype described by Carl Jung, a Tolkien contemporary who was lecturing and writing decades before Lord of the Rings was written.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I'm not sure what can be compred to Potter from WDW... wait I got it!! Somethinng that looks 100 years old right? Something with so much detail that MAKES it look that old right?
My guess is either the inside of the Haunted Mansion....or River Country...:lookaroun :lol:

On what basis can you objectively state with such certainty that Mission: Space is a failure? It seems popular every time I go to WDW.

This is very well stated.....I want to say more but I think it is unnecessary....
Maybe not a failure, but not the clonable smash hit Eisner wished for.
You're correct about this. If you've got your Disney timing down, it can be a walk on even on a crowded day, whereas TT, and Soarin' always have massive waits.
Personally, it's gone up in my opinion since they've added the pick your own intensity option. That's a nice touch.
That in itself is a sign the attraction isn`t as popular as planned. Limiting the original version to half the bays surely shows the demand isn`t there, otherwise the Orange line would be all the way to the parking lot. A mis judgement? Certainly an expensive mistake, with 2 centrifuges not doing what they were paid to do.

It could be the growing amount of wimps that Disney attracts.
Ahem, excuse me, but I wish to disagree with the above statements. Mission:Space is one of the most realistic feeling rides in any of the parks. The ride is a complete rush, if you can handle it. Bringing a little 3D tech into this ride would make it unbelievable. And finally,
Horizons was a nice ride, but in fact was very, very similar to Spaceship Earth and didn't come close to the thrills you can get from Mission:Space.
Ane there in lies the problem. Todays guests can expect too many thrills. If it ain`t a rush it can be deemed no good.
Horizons was `very similar to SSE` purely since it was an Omimover. To use that anaology must mean so was The Haunted Mansion.
Honestly it was much more similar than that. One is the history of communication the other the history of transportation. Beginning from cavemen and early writing/wheels up through present day. They were definitely not similar purely due to the Omnimover.
