This will also hopefully show the imagineers (but mostly Iger) that in order for a land to be popular for a long time like Pandora and presumably GE, it has to be top quality and the absolute best job the imagineers can do. I know that some people on here were scared that Disney could build literally anything and guests would still line up for hours to ride it, but luckily it seems that they are smart enough to know a great land when they see one.
250M is not filler to me, personally. Should've just spent 400M it done it right. Still the land looks a lot better than Paris, HK, or Shanghai so at least there's that.
$250 million is nearing Hogsmeade territory. The budget was plenty large enough for this to be “done right” and “top quality.”
I understand that, which is why I'm personally glad that the wait times are shorter than Disney most likely expected for a land that's been open less than a week. Maybe this will give the company a lesson to do things better in the future, whether it's a "filler" land or not.
TBH ive never really viewed cost of lands or other things posted on here as fact no offense to those that claim they know the cost
The parks rarely discuss costs.
Except that it does affect you. The cost directly contributes to what is built.
yeah i agree to a certain point
Things like shade are part of the experience and the out of control spending is what makes them subject to being cut. Better control of costs would also mean more quality experiences.
be careful @andysol you re becoming one of my fav posters on this site and others
I love his posts for a while now.
Totally agreed. At the minimum we should have recieved the initial plans, but even then. To be fair Hogsmeade really isn't that big, but it's quality over quantity. What can you do now though, what's done is done. My guess is a third land will definitely have to happen with Star Wars' crowds.
