So, just over a year away for this to open. While I would have preferred some other countries to get rides (ex. Italy or Germany boat rides), I am still happy that this is coming. The ride looks like a lot of fun. I just hope that they continue adding more but I doubt it.
Especially when it will cost $700 Bijillion dollars.

That was nothing more than the nonsense he descended into of insinuating wild stories without ever saying anything. The $800 million, which was not all Disney money, was to get the project back on its already delayed timeline. Like so many things, it was spun as “adding” to the opening day roster. It wasn’t some huge corruption scandal personally involving Bob Iger as insinuated.

Please post an occurrence of an inflated number being mentioned and being picked up by something that wasn't a Disney focused site. And not some rando Twitter pleb.
I'll wait.

Turning Innoventions into the Stark Expo would be what I would envision. I'm sure that was blue sky somewhere.

It was 150 million Euro...or $204 million. But I know reading is hard.Not easy to do because the actual cost is rarely ever revealed...

On the subject of spiraling costs, I'm sure the actual costs are going up for the reasons listed here in the thread previously, but I also wanted to suggest the possibility that in many cases, we may be talking about different definitions of cost. For example, for GotG, the all-in project cost may be a total cost of ownership figure, rather than simply construction cost. And it may be the case that previously, Disney didn't count the internal cost of salaried imagineers as part of the project cost, since it wouldn't result in "additional" expense - they'd still be paid, they'd just be working on other projects.
Then there's the question of how to account for cast training, new costuming, ride maintenance, etc. Since GotG is an Intamin coaster, they might have purchased a long-term maintenance contract and be including that (think of it like buying Apple Care for your coaster).
I remember there was a project at the company I worked at that started having enormous budget overruns when accounting told the project managers to include the cost of executives attending steering committee meetings. It immediately caused 100% budget overruns because the execs attending one meeting a month cost more than the rest of the project combined! Lol

Then why are you still participating here? If you don’t believe the info here, don’t read it. This is why I don’t read the National Enquirer.

What law would that be, Sherlock? It might be an internal breach, and therefore a reason to lose one's job, but unless you are manipulating the public market releasing accurate info is not a crime.

People who doubt or don't want to follow Martin can do just that, but there's no reason to keep going on and on and on about a tired narrative that has been endlessly proven.
Something similar was planned.
Especially the robots.
This was back when Guardians was to have had two attractions in the same footprint.
I bet that went knowhere.

Wikipedia is not a source.
And how do you know that 150 is inflated?

Hahahaha... that Wikipedia article on Rat cites the well-known, ultra-reliable news provider “wdsfans” as its source. The site doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Seems like some folks in this thread need to brush up on their research skills.
Well, we saw how effective that was...
Well, this isn't the SEC, so "corrupt" doesn't necessarily imply illegal.
