This excuse just doesn’t hold up. It completely ignores the context of Toy Story Land, a wide open site on the back of the park. There is no need to accommodate operations in the area.
It is slow. A roller coaster can go from initial idea to opening day in the time spent building this land. They waited to start construction because Disney approves and often announces projects early in the design process. New attractions are announced well before anyone has even started on the construction documents.
It’s certainly slow by outside standards, but not by Disney’s. It’s coming in around (a little over) two years, which is downright fast for them. Which is why they should have started building in 2015; the park needed the land last year far more than it does at this moment.
The big problem is Disney's protracted time frames and exorbitant costs for what they are getting.
All of those activities were done before the land itself got underway. They weren't trying to build the coaster around ongoing demolition and facility relocations, they happened sequentially.
The point is that it took Disney a long time to assemble the coaster. This land is one coaster and one flat ride, it easily could have been built in a year. It is the sort of thing others can design and build in less time than it took of this to be built.
And honestly Disney does more detail work than most other parks.
In what world did the coaster only take a month? And again, the land is in a closed part of the park. This is a dedicated construction site of over ten acres. Lots of room and nobody else to work around.
The ornament is large props.
This site may as well be in a closed park. The location doesn’t mean the time taken has any merit.
Exactly. Slow construction down in a park that needs all the capacity it can get so marketing have something to talk about.
its the reality we live in
