The Cambia on Katella next to the I-5 is going vertical quickly, looks like pre-made walls are being used.

Hey Bob.

That sounds like what Universal Studios has been doing for Decades.....

I hate everything about this response. I really do.

Does this moron seriously think I have more of an interest in visiting the planet from Avatar than I do learning about real world cultures and myths?

This quote makes me wonder what Bob Iger thinks of a certain non descript coaster that actually is [themed like] a Swiss mountain.

Yes, he does actually.

I don’t care about going to Radiator Springs, any of the planets from Star Wars, Pandora, or Arendelle either (especially Arendelle). Scary to think if Disneyland were built today, we wouldn’t have the original concept of the park and the classic original attractions we have now.

Kick rocks, Bobby. I’m sick of you.

EXACTLY.

Matterhorn popped into my mind immediately. That’s one of my favorite rides, a classic and historical attraction, and he shat on it. No respect whatsoever.

It'd be a lot more reminiscent of Universal Studios. Both in quality, depth, and substance. Scary to think that's the direction we're headed towards now...

People in Hollywood are so full of themselves and their products. It's sickening.

Yep. And even Universal has taken a stark shift of direction from what they used to be.

Scary and sad.

Yeah. Give me the old Universal. With the pre Fast n Furious, AA Kong and Avalanche Tunnel Tram Tour, E.T., Back 2 the Future and Conan the Barbarian. The mid 90s was USHs Peak. Probably somewhere around 96. All of the above were still there (except maybe Conan) plus Jurassic Park.

At least he didn't say Marvel. Then that whole response would have been even more terrible.

For the vast majority of Americans, he's not wrong.

If you really want to learn about the world, though, may I introduce you to Adventures By Disney?

Iger has a reason for saying the things that he says. As the head of the company it is his responsibility to follow the money and the money is in the IP's. I would bet all the money in the world that a Frozen themed boat ride brings in more revenue than a Scandinavian themed boat ride.

The IP push is not for us.

That's the problem. I don't care what's best for shareholders and the CEO, I care about art.

Just imagine what the next Disney Park is going to look like...

My wild goofball prediction: Disney will never build another park in the U.S. Financial, cultural, legal and technological changes will make further from-scratch expansions unworkable. What they WILL do is buy Six Flags or Cedar Fair and Disney-fy those parks... in the cheapest ways possible.

Oh heck no.

Oh heck no.

Mainly saying it so I can be glad when I’m wrong.
