MuppetVision closed until August 2nd for unexpected Maintenance

All this talk of elemental compounds makes me want a glass of H2O.

Wocka. Wocka.

Ok bring on the NO2 and end my misery.

I'd laugh if you said N2O.

You guys, I just had the most AMAZING day with someone at the parks.

Can anyone say budget cuts...

Sure, I can say it... it doesn't mean anymore then you saying it though. I can also say supercalifragilisticexpealidocious that doesn't mean anything either.

They go by first gate click. Those who visit DHS first, and then another park, are counted as DHS guests for the day.

That's incorrect. First click attendance is how Disney measures it internally, but TEA doesn't have access to that information.

I can probably shed some light on this. I was there when the incident happened. Right at the end of the movie all hell broke loose and the fireworks were exploding and there were these penguins who shot a cannon and destroyed the whole theater!!! Good luck getting this reopened by August 2nd with the amount of destruction I saw in that theater!!

This has to be one of the most liked posts I have ever seen. Well done.

In this day in age, "First Click" is as out of date as "Audio Animatronic". Ever since they networked the admission media (biometric scan), "First Click" went out the window. They know what park you entered and when. And now with Magic Bands, they know when you buy merch or food, ride a ride, and leave the park. The metrics they are looking at these days go WAY beyond "First Click".

And no one has built an "Audio Animatronic" since the early '80s. Modern animatronics are obviously computer controlled, not cued by blips on a magnetic tape.

Absolutely. But they still have to report total attendance (internally). First click is the only way to do it without double counting people.

And I'm not sure they DO know when you leave the park. The tech exists in the system but I'm not sure it's turned on.

That's why it's in bold type! I could have said it this way, suoicodilaepxecitsiligarfilacrepus but that's going to far, don't you think?

Internally, they do double count people. They want to know who enters each park and that person counts for each park they enter. "First Click", back in the day, was so that they had an approximate on the number of people at the resort as a whole. Not attendance for each park. Both numbers are important to know.

They still do it. Remember, Disney DOES report attendance information in their quarterly reports. They don't report actual attendance numbers but they say things like "attendance at our Domestic Parks was up 2% versus Q3 of the prior year." Those calculations are built on the "first click" data. It's how they measure total unique visitors or unique individual visitors or whatever term they're using these days.

Glad your #3 isn't working - NO2 would wipe out the audience.

What you meant to say was LN2 (liquid nitrogen).

Yeah, been a while since my theater days, used to work with those machines all the time.

Penguins shot first but the Swedish Chef finished the job.

If they only looked at "First Clicks" Epcot would be in the mid single digits of millions, like around 6 million since almost half of it's visitors show up later in the day for dinner and RoE after visiting one of the "half day" parks (DAK/DHS).

The first and last time after Muppetvision 3D refurbishment...August 2nd 2017 - August 2nd 2017

Perhaps it's been taken offline to be De-Whitmired.

Ahh yes, the super-deadly dihydrogen monoxide...

Show me where I said that they "only" look at first clicks. Oh wait, I didn't.
