The Neighbor Lady and TP2000 Walk Into a Bar...

[GiveMeTheMusic]

The only people who said stuff like that were ones who were convinced via fanboi rumor that Disney dumped TOT in DCA because of a licensing issue.

This is obviously false, as TOT is still running with Twilight Zone license intact at DHS and WDS. Chapek wanted a quick Marvel E ticket, and TOT was the easiest victim. There's no grand licensing conspiracy.

The elements of this thread have revealed to me what the real missed opportunity was here.


@TP2000
+ Neighbor Lady
+ Bar
+ Tower of Terror discussion

There should have been a bar inside Tower of Terror for TP2000 and Neighbor Lady to dish out the hot trash in, and that bar should have been called...wait for it...

...Tip Top Tapas & Tipples.

We have reached peak Tapas & Tipples here, people.

Now I hate GOTGM:B even more.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Speaking of Chapek and his knee jerk additions to the parks isn’t it funny how GOTG 3 is now on hold while this was just released today

With all the troubles CBS has been going through, Disney should buy it.

 

[TwilightZone]

Twilight Zone will be around in some form for many decades to come. The young people who "don't know what TZ is" have been watching the original series on Netflix, Hulu and Youtube. Select episodes have become common viewing in english and writing classes. The only ones unfamiliar with TZ are the current suits at Disney.

Or had a parent or grandparent who is into it like mine were/are. My username is TwilightZone for a reason!

However, that talking point got a good bit of traction on MAGIC and social media.

Something about lies going halfway around the world before the truth ties its shoes.

How many people insisted the Hat had to block the Chinese Theater due to licensing issues?

Ha. Next they’ll be saying Disney needs to tear down Carthay Theater in DCA due to “licensing” on a building that’s been gone for years. People don’t understand how licensing works.

Funny thing about that venue...

That explains the Fox acquisition then!!

Thank goodness there were still people who stood up to that piece of work $hapek. I read (I think it was from @marni1971 awhile back? Maybe?) that Bobby wanted all the towers to be changed. RIP DCA TOT.

Spirit mentioned George Kalogridis fought to keep ToT open because that park would have lost too much capacity as TSL and GE were under construction.

Thanks! Which user is Spirit? Is that the only reason why George fought for it to stay open?? Or is that the argument he used to convince the higher ups?

In relevance to budget cuts, live performers have been cut from Animal Kingdom's Rivers of Light show in order to save money.

Gotta pay for that highly questionable, overpriced collection of legacy media assets.

 

[GiveMeTheMusic]

Disney is really saving their bottom line by cutting 4 performers a night. Look at those savings pile up

 

[Model3 McQueen]

I like how Disney is more focused on cost cutting, instead of investing in animatronics and practical effects like in their, oh, you know, most legendary attractions.

awesome post. Sad that WDI is so out of touch. I can't believe puny DLR makes more total profit than WDW. Maybe the margins are better and that's what she means but there is no way it makes more total profit.
