Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

So the "wait and see camp"

Yup...that was just my explanation why!

 

[luv]

I see that as more of a "create demand" move then anything else. Just because they have a FP line doesn't mean that it will be overrun or that it will, in rides like Pirates, create a much longer wait. Especially if they use both sides of the loading area.

This is not a "will" thing or a future thing. They're already doing it. It is already making the lines longer than they should be. It has already happened.

 

[TalkingHead]

Eighty percent positive on social media?
That's...wow...entirely false and disingenuous.

What's even funnier is saying that only 2% of the comments are negative!

What a magical crock of !@#$

If you have actually seen this, for yourself, then I stand corrected. I know that many variables can factor into whether or not lines are held up unreasonable amounts of time, and unless I am there myself to experience and see with my own eyes, I am usually skeptical.

I also am aware that there is nothing that has been put in so far that absolutely has to stay that way. I think, if nothing else, it has been proven by this little fiasco we call NGE, that they did not think of everything or even have a clue about how it will really affect things. It is still in test mode for the most part. FPP is still in test mode as well and any number of things can still change. That's all I'm saying.

I've been a regular at Gold's Gym for the past few months. It turns out that my friend intends to wear their MagicBand on their ankle.

Is that a quote from Duncan?

I'm finally stumped...don't know how to give a sarcastic reply to that...

Will they have to walk into the parks on their hands and use toe scans?

I have already seen it. It's here. They've done it.

Next time you come, you'll see it, too. I don't blame you for not believing what people on the Internet say, without having seen it for yourself! I don't believe everything i read, either!! By the same token, since you haven't seen it, you could possibly refrain from stating that we have no beef, KWIM?

That's neat! I actually really love the Avatar film score. It is good "theme park music", if that makes sense!

Loved the score from Avatar! One of my all time favorites and would make Avatar Land feel so epic!

Garcia and Celebration Place owe me a keyboard for that 80% statement.

80% could be a correct statement when you look at who your testers have been.

When your initial rounds of test audiences have largely been cast members who already know how everything works, of course they're going to say its amazing.

When you're dealing with first time guests who know nothing about disney, thats more the audience's opinion that you need.

Or Cast Members who are pressured into saying how awesome this crap is because if hey don't, then they will hear those two magical words... No, not SUCK IT... But, YOU'RE FIRED...

 

[lazyboy97o]

I don't even know how someone from Disney could have told Garcia the 80% comment without laughing.

That will go down in history with the "lights of winter are obsolete tech" comment.

Or George Kalogridis saying people will have to settle for Disneyland because the then-new Disney's California Adventure would be full?

Now that I know that you have seen it, I will refrain for stating that. Until you directly told me that you witnessed it I was figuring you just surmised that it was like that. A thousand pardons.

We also heard some reports of people getting "compensated" by Disney when problems came up. If someone has a bad experience but management makes them whole by giving them gift cards, free stuff and/or additional fast passes they probably are going to report a positive experience. 80% still seems pretty high, even for cast members and some DVC resorts.

Just questioning the methodology.

If we're going to talk Steaks, Shula's would be the best Ive had on property of any theme park in the area.

I have heard that. With Jeff Ruby's joints, there are lots of quality steak houses here in Cincinnati. Best I have ever had though was the Metropolitan Club in Seattle. Nom nom.

Bern's in Tampa FTW.

There's a lot of good steakhouses here as well, but Ruth's Chris, Morton, Seasons 51, Shula's, etc.

Yachtsman is good but not amazingly good. I like citricos at times as well.
