Questions about facts of the park

[jeffk410]

I can not find this out anywhere on the web or in books so im hoping someone here knows. What is the most expensive ride in Disney to keep running. I thought of this when waiting for th tomorrowland indy speedway because of the rise in gas price. Im sure it is not the speedway but im curious to what is the most expensive to keep running. I also am wondering what were the first 10 rides in WDW. Well MK. Hopefully someone knows

Do you mean from an upkeep perspective or a day to day operations perspective?

 

[jeffk410]

hmm

upkeep and day to day both haha

You can guess all you like on that, but Disney does not release those numbers. Even guessing you don't have the full picture, think of how many CM's it takes to run the attraction, how much it might cost for "fuel" for some, how much back of house time it takes to get the ride going and how many people do they have just to service the attraction each day/night. It is all guessing at that point.

Price is all relative - you could say Big Thundermountain. Greeter, FP dis, FP merge, duel load with dispatchers (what... 3 per side?) and tower. You could say ToT - greeter, FP dis, FP merge, librarys, 4 loads, unload, photo op, merch, tower, power supply....

You could also say Splash just to keep the water clean and the AAs working *cough*

 

[jeffk410]

hmm

no wonder i could not find out haha. I wonder why disney doesnt realease this numbers.

It's called proprietary information. It's released on a need to know basis.
