psst...span of time came after that.

Yes, I suppose if Tiana opened early 2024 it may have fallen within your five years instead of your intiail four years, that is not either the definition of a "span of time" between two dates.

Now that we have made it confusing to show you are right, let's move out of semantics.

As clearly, they are all memorable attractions that are helping Disney's bottom line.

Well, even if we give them to the end of 2024 the only ride that falls off would be Smugglers Run

I would say Rise if the Resistance and at least Guardians were designed to help the bottom line.

I think the much bigger issue is that they just didn't have much past Tron and nothing announced for after TBA. So issue to me isn't 2019-2024 as much as 2023-2026, that time would appears pretty weak

Rise of the Resistance does not deserve to be counted as a theme park ride.

Actual piece of garbage that is less of a "ride" and more of a a LARP.

You can totally not like it, but it's beyond ridiculous to single it out as less a ride than some of the other things in the list you quoted. Even if you discount the pre-show, the sequence aboard the transport vessel, and the holding cell, you still have a trackless ride of a length roughly equivalent to Ratatouille with far more physical setpieces and animatronics. If Rise gets your hackles up, why not Ratatouille?

If you ignore COVID impact in construction and time tables and basically rip out '20 and '21, WDW got a pretty decent slate of things. @TheMaxRebo and I did a thing a few months ago. This isn't complete, but it's a good frame of reference of things big and small added (some now taken away lol) to WDW.

The $ number is millions of dollars invested in the parks that year (very rough).

A lot of this weren’t even real big investments in the parks, or not in the parks at all (resorts/DVC). Regardless of quantity, I would argue 1. The quality matters more and 2. Actual attraction and capacity investments in the parks themselves (aka not another DVC villa) have still not kept up.

I'm only pointing out that things that came to the property. A good question is how many rides and attractions is a good amount per year? Pre covid we were seeing new lands (tsl, pandora, swge) at a pretty good clip and new rides (tron remy gotg, mmrr) being added to thr parks.

Is that the rate we need or do the parks need more than that? Obviously there is some backlog of required capacity, but assuming decent capacity at each park, how fast does wdw need to expand to keep people coming and keep people happy?

Clearly more than they do now and its caught up to them.

Quality also counts. Stiche's Great Escape and Tron did not exactly move the needle for example of attractions a decade apart both not doing much.

Pandora helped Animal Kingdom for awhile.

It is particularly agregious is because Iger had said when he became CEO nearly two decades ago when asked about more theme parks in the states, that the focus would be expanding attractions within the parks they had. Like a flat out no. And really, the rate of new attractions and upkeep of old ones(sometimes shuttering with zero replacement) has actually become worse.


Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios have both had large attendance gains since 2009. While their new attractions, particularly recently have not all moved the needle, they have continued a good pace of new attractions large and small. They are clearly doing enough for their two park resort, but they were the last to build a new major theme park in the United States, and they will be the most recent to build new theme parks in the United States.

No major theme park should go a full calendar year without a major attraction, smaller attraction, night time show, day parade or unique attraction that will draw people in. WDW has four theme parks and has commonly failed that. Even parks with stints that did well with that more recently(Hollywood Studios) they have shuttered many things that hurt what was already there.

Most of the new rides Disney has added to the resort since 2018 are lousy. For every Rise of the Resistance there's a Remy's Ratatouille Adventure.
