we are not allowed to say
Is it that deep or bad of a thing that it has to be secret?
I don’t think anyone predicted so many technical issues so early on. It’s fair to point out that many expected or feared that the ride wouldn’t turn out well, but what we’re seeing now is by any measure surprising (and very disappointingly so).
Well I’m lumping technical issues in with the ride not performing well. Even if the ride is at 100% it is still lackluster. When even Drew is down on the ride you know it is an unmitigated disaster.

I suppose what I'm getting at is that some of the "told you so" posts here are retconning things to make it seem as if everything that's gone wrong with the ride was utterly predictable, and I just don't think that's particularly accurate or helpful.
Fair enough. I guess some were predicting such failures this early on. I still find it surprising that so much of the ride is so consistently down so early in its life. I don't think we've seen anything quite this bad before, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
It was predictable though, as evidenced by the many who predicted it.
I would shut the ride down and do whatever needs to be done to fix the technical issues before reopening it, even if that takes months. Running it the way they are seems untenable to me.
I don't agree with this. Disney shouldn't be hobbled by fear that their future projects aren't going to work properly, and nor should we want them to be. The problem is with their implementation of the project, but with the project per se.
I think it’s more that some are using this as an excuse or some form of justification to say that they always knew it would end up like this because they didn’t like the idea of the retheme to begin with. I like the ride and hope they deal with and fix the problems, but using this as an “I told you so” does not feel genuine.
Now I have to think of a prize for him. Great lol.
Too much of what I was told about this attraction's development was incorrect for me to run a victory lap and claim to have been right about much. Sadly these sorts of failures were entirely expected. Though I'm somewhat surprised it was THIS quick. While I did make that comment and did expect the normal "giving up" to occur not long after the ride opened, even I thought that short timeline was a bit too pessimistic. In truth, I had believed that they might at least take better care of the ride for the first year or two while it was under the public's scrutiny. But it goes to show how beyond the pale the TWDC and Orlando management really is.
The ride is still a massive disappointment even when everything is functioning correctly. A large number of people here were tearing it apart when it first opened and was 100% fresh. Sorry...
Joking aside, it's worth noting (because some posters continue to imply otherwise) that there is no requirement in this forum to like the new attraction, much less praise it.
As always @LittleBuford , thanks for the constant and continuing corrections.
