At best you just don’t understand how the process works. Once again, having to hire Walt Disney Imagineering does not mean having to accept whatever they do without any input. The Oriental Land Company decides when to build a new attraction, where to build new attractions and approves all concepts developed by Walt Disney Imagineering. If the Oriental Land Company does not like Walt Disney Imagineering’s ideas they do not have to buy it.They don't own any of the Disney products and are only licensing to use them in their parks so like I said they barely have a say. OLC is not in the business of designing theme parks but people seem to believe Disney let's them do what they want as far as adding new attractions when in reality they have to consult with Imagineering to create them.
Where do you think the concept for Tokyo DisneySea came from because it wasn't from thin air but from California and you guys got DCA instead.
@Mr. Johnson citing the second gate is a great example. Michael Eisner adamantly wanted a Disney-MGM Studios park to be the second gate at what would become the Tokyo Disney Resort. The Oriental Land Company flatly said “No, we want something unique” and that was it. Walt Disney Imagineering designed Tokyo DisneySEA because it is what the Oriental Land Company wanted. Before that, in the late-1970s the opposite happened. Disney wanted to create all new attractions and designs for an all new Disneyland but the Oriental Land Company primarily wanted copies from Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom.
