Possible Frontierland expansion

[Daveeeeed]

Pandora will help a lot. I think they will find they are happy they built two new billion dollar-ish lands.

The lands should happen no matter what, but the biggest problem is Ak & DHS were so undeveloped originally playing catch up will never bring it up to par with where it should be. MK they decide to just replace, and rarely update attractions. And in Epcot, they pretty much decided to abandon the park. At least they are doing something now, but there should've been and should be far more added. Let's face it, WDW gets far fewer updates than Disneyland Resort, has fewer rides IN ALL 4 WDW PARKS, have to use dated transportation and has FASTPASS+ inflating rides to unimaginable numbers as well as due to fewer rides and more people it gets higher waits. Yet somehow I still love WDW.

They're not happy at all that the lands are costing that much.

Who is "they"? And will "they" change their mind when profits far far exceed expectations? Because they will.

Who you'd think? You're not that silly despite what people think.

They could've built individual attractions rather than "lands"

Marni do you think the huge cost for these immersive lands will get them to finally build some just immersive rides ala Kong?

I personally feel it is a must to have a combination of both to turn around and keep the park relevant.

I am betting you drive a Dodge.

Why do you always try to change the topic when you're out of your depth?

Kong is already occasionally a walk on. The Dwarf coaster still has pretty consistent wait times. Immersion works. Placesetting works. Walt was right.

After ignoring my first-ever user here, it's actually a new level of comedy to see the responses sent his way. Can only imagine what nonsense it is now.

Every village needs one. I've considered ignore but to be honest it's far more amusing reading the ramblings.

I guess we're extra lucky with two

You've visited both parks recently?

JT do not even try to make that point as wait times are a measure of success. Kong is in a park that normally has low wait times and gets about half the number of visitors in a year. So not same

Kong que is extremely well done and as good as dwarf. Would you not take 3-4 new rides like that in Hollywood studios or even one at MK.

Then you are just plain crazy.

 

[nor'easter]

Isn't that a bit harsh? He's just someone who sits in his trailer in the desert channeling Bob Iger, putting together in his mind a grand plan for WDW, which he hasn't visited in years, but somehow his vision is being manifested right before our eyes, just as he knew it would all along. ...
Hmmmm....on second thought, he's plain crazy.

 

[rioriz]

Then There will be a call for a SW expansion because of the success of the new land hitch it should be bigger with at least three to fours rides to start with.

it won't take long for the expansion plot to be used...

What will go in there? More SW or TS?

Hopefully something New never before seen..

I wasn't being critical of Kong. Just making the point that the dwarf coaster was built into an immersive environment inside an immersive environment inside an immersive environment. That makes all the difference. BTW, this is how Uni has built Potter thanks to Hogwarts Express. And success followed.

They're well known. Avland in particular will not have the capacity to do that.

Plus you'll of course be aware of the concerns (still) about SWL capacity, in particular the Falcon ride.

What else?

Sorry to circle back to this but do we have capacity estimates for the new attractions at DHS and AK? You flag the Falcon ride as a potential issue, so I'm wondering if you have ball park numbers.
