Yep. They’re still playing at it.

Yeah, I guess I'm only comparing to the previous stagnation, that anything happening feels like progress, but yes, lots of things still need updated.

i don't blame you, chris, because i think that's part of disney's PR strategy. "look how much we're investing! we're building X, Y, and Z!"
but WDW (despite its booming business) was getting by on a very stale set of offerings. it's like a person that needs to get healthy: it's great that he/she is eating salads instead of chicken fingers now, but it's going to take a while before the scale catches up and their cholesterol levels out.

It’s not a strategy, it’s a reaction

This would seem true, especially when you see the permit application that was filed for that other place just down the road. That place definitely is setting up their newly acquired property for a 3rd gate and some more hotels...

Not disagreeing with you at all, but what things do you consider to still be stagnant? Any indication that they may change?
Again, not disagreeing at all, just wondering what your perspective is.

it's kinda funny that Wreck it Ralph is going into The Void at Disney Springs, the Imagination Pavilion at Epcot, and the meet and greet in Innoventions, while Stitch sits empty.
Out of curiosity, why did you rank DAK below DHS? Next year, DHS will have twice the rides than it did last year (and Martin has hinted that more is in store soon), while there doesn't seem to be a clear plan for DAK beyond what has already opened (unless there's something we don't know about?). Now, that's not really a ringing endorsement of the state of DHS, but it's definitely improvement. Honestly, it feels like every park except MK needs to double the amount of rides it has. MK has close to 30, while DHS will have 8 next year, DAK has 9, and EPCOT has 10. There's definitely a big imbalance there, but I guess that's why MK gets ~ twice the annual visitors, compared to the other parks.
Known issues / deferred issues / opportunities:
BTM finale
Diamond Horseshoe
Pan
Philhar
Speedway
Space
WEDway
SGE
CoP finale
Night parade
Imag complex
Land comples
Seas complex
Innoventions
Superstar Theatre
Monster Theatre
Indy
Animation complex
ToT
Kali
Everest
And then we move into the undeveloped / capacity issues of each park.

You'd think there would have been an approved plan before sending SGE into mothballs. Silly of me, I know...

And you would think, with all these recent up charges, that they would use the extra funds to fix all of what needs to be fix.
As if we needed more reason to decry the lack of full track replacement it should have received in 2008...

Agreed, I seriously hope they completely replace the track once TRON opens

Martin's mentioned that several, several times. It's such a reassuring feeling knowing the condition of SM. It's heavily trimmed as well because of its condition.

I haven't ridden WDW's version in a few years, partly because of the scariness of the track condition.

It's about as rough as the Matterhorn...

DL's Space Mountain is a terrific experience. WDW is as rough as the Matterhorn @Cmdr_Crimson? I like Matterhorn but I've definitely learned to take on the lighter side over the rougher one.
Ralph's going to Innoventions as a M&G as a temporary placeholder until the themed M&G in ImageWorks is done. Then he'll move there for the M&G.

Matterhorn is brutal, I was in actual pain after I rode it last year.
