Have you been following along with the Shanghai park much? If not I suggest reading up on it, it's quite the interesting project with a lot of backstory. The Chinese government is also not an easy group to work with. This is basically for bragging rights when it comes down to it.
Shanghai Disney Resort paid for most of the production costs. Disney has a nasty habit of abusing their international partners (mainly the Oriental Land Company) when it comes to such matters.
Bragging doesn't have to enter into it and the costs and the decisions still go through the partnership. It's no different than Hong Kong Disneyland wanting exclusivity for Mystic Manor and Grizzly Gulch because they paid for its development.
Ok so if it's not for bragging rights or whatever than why the one day exclusive opening. What does that one day matter to them?
I really haven't, obviously. I focus on the parks in the U.S. Don't mind learning about the others, just finding time is hard. Life, lol.
There are several threads regarding the project on this vary board. You should care what's happening with those other parks as they are really affecting what is happening in the US Parks.
Had the park opened on time the exclusivity would have been longer. But sticking to agreements is important and making sure it is known that Disney will not get to play games like they have in Japan and Hong Kong.
It's digital it's very easy to switch shows. They have been doing it at DCA. They test the new film at night and run the California version during the day.
Nor do digital control systems apparently.DCA doesn't exist in his world.
Yes, I understand that now.
It was supposed to be much longer but the park got delayed.
You don't know a lot that is common knowledge.
DCA has a digital version of Soarin' Over California.
