Galaxy’s Edge increasing? I had thought about $700 million but I guess more. 2-ride lands now cost more than it cost to build the park they’re in!

SWL was always a lot more than that.

WDI’s spending problems are at a breaking point. There needs to be an intervention and GotGMB and PP aren’t it.

Didn't Iger say that the land will cost about $1 billion at an investor meeting or earnings call?

Did he? I don’t honestly recall. Surprised he’d be proud of that.

I don’t remember what it was but I remember him saying that.

Any news on admission hikes or special scheduling for when SW:GE opens? I'm not convinced they can relieve the upcoming capacity problem with rapid construction alone, especially since multiple high profile attractions/lands/IPs are opening up in the same park within a relatively short timeframe of each other.

Special event nights. Lots of them.

Looks like it was an earnings call

I don't think that anyone thinks of it as a "reasonable substitute for Cars Land", but, it is what we have. It was designed in the fashion that even Walt would have agreed with. It was a place for kids that allowed parents to be part of. I fail to see what is wrong with that or it's existence. The rest of you will get your fantasy fix with SWL, now how about letting the startup Disney lovers have something that they will remember fondly, not just those of us with stunted development who need our allegedly adult playground and don't like to share.

Kathy Mangum said they were going for Cars Land level detail and immersion with Toy Story Land at the official announcement.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Yes. And an Indiana Jones land. Instead we will get about $1 billion invested in the two lands we get. I don’t have a final number on Mickey but I’d hazard $300,000,000. It had its budget increased. So ballpark $1.3 bn.

LIES. Jim Hill made up Monstropolis.

Just heard the hourly capacity for Slink Dog. Yikes. No wonder they’re open 15.5 hrs daily this summer. And still only about 40% of guests will get on.

I think they need another kid friendly attraction or two in this park. I went to book fastpasses today for my wife and 4 year old son and there are no actual rides they can do. They can watch muppets which is the closest thing to an attraction but everything else would have to be a show which I think is insane. basically my sons options are Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen musical, Disney jr and Indiana Jones. Other than Disney jr and Indy which is probably too long to keep his attention, they are girl-centric shows. Toy Story Mania has no fastpass and to ask a 4 year old to patiently wait in line for 40-50 minutes ain’t happening.

This park needs a LOT of work! It will be slightly better once toy story mania, alien, slinky and Mickey are available but that’s still not a lot of options for children. Hopefully whatever is announced next for this park is also a family friendly ride for all ages.

OK, but, that isn't saying that it's Cars Land. I'm not sure what the aim was originally, but, what I do know is we are getting what we are getting and we can whine about what might have been forever because that is an infinite level topic. However, as far as it ever materializing, it didn't, it isn't going to and all the talk in the world will not change that. So why waste the time concerning ourselves over the might have been, and try to find the good in what is. We were owed absolutely nothing.

ive always thought people took that quote from her way to literal, but she probably shouldn't have said it

Me too. But I got slammed at one point for trying to say she meant it another way. Oh well. But yeah it shouldn't have been phrased that way but I think I know what she was trying to get at.

 

[Kman101]

EXACTLY! LOL. I don't know why people took her to mean that. She should have probably said it differently but people jumped all over that. I took it for what she was really talking about.
