I don't see that.

Here's the super wide queues for Stand-by and LL.

However, they do narrow. The question is can they narrow down into four lines?

Here is the one side, which pinches people down from a very wide queue to just side-by-side. It has railing that comes out of nowhere to do the pinching. It and that trashcan can move. This would create two LL lanes: one for show A and one for show B.

And this side has no pinching at all, it stays very wide. Easy to create a line for show A and one for show B.

In theory, I agree.

In practice? They’re broke.

No no, they have billions in cash on hand, Hulu revenue coming, and Disney+ will be mining gold for the company starting in July. And $60 billion in DPEP investments coming (starting in 5 years). Everything is fine. Why, I'm sure right now they have a long list of projects they are going to unveil soon. Remember - Bob said "capacity expansion", so it must mean the parks are getting huge dollars thrown at them soon. (he wouldn't just be talking about DVC and cruise ships, would he?)

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a new Soarin’ film once a decade. Same goes for Canada, China, the Land, and Mission Space.

The China film was supposed to happen, along with upgrading the theater to be a "seamless" 360 experience...but that was announced in like 2018 or something, before COVID, before the major issues in Hong Kong, etc....basically I don't think we're going to see it happen for a long time.

This was WONDERFUL to experience again.

I don't mean this in a negative way, but it is wild to see how the OG show has started to show its age. Just in forms of film quality. It still is a gorgeous experience, though.

Yeah… but with a company like Disney they should have the resources to figure it out. If filming is an issue, replace it with a bigger and better attraction.

It's amazing how much you could update a movie by inserting a few contemporary scenes. You can keep your Rocky Mountain flyover shot for thirty years. And then send a crew with nine iPhones on a drum to shoot ten seconds of purple-haired Montréal youth to update the film.
