Crush is a fun coaster, but as with everything at the park, it is just plopped in there and has no sense of place. The ride is low capacity with a terrible queue. Now if it were part of a larger Nemo land, then great. But as a standalone, it isn't enough.
Bingo.
It was and it was. Now it’s going down the road of lipstick on a pig.
It’s currently being tarmacced like a BOH area
That's the part that particularly surprises and worries me. Looking at all that construction going on, it is not like money can be the root cause or excuse any longer. They are literally turning every stone and wall in that park without actually achieving much.
This is where it comes across as not having actually sat down and diagnosed the problem then come up with concrete solutions. I just can't believe whoever is in charge of approving these budgets didn't also look at what they came up with for this park and told them to try again. Perhaps its another sign of management that doesn't really have a feel for the parks so they don't really know what they're looking at.
I don't remember where, but I read that the space is needed to fit a crane in case an evacuation of the parachute ride is needed. I guess from the inside of the land it wouldn't be possible to enter a crane because of the lights crossing the area. Not sure if this is true though.
A big part of the problem is that they did diagnose the problem, here and elsewhere. The major problem they identified is a lack of “Disney” followed by a lack of ornament. So what we get is a bunch of stuff, but not really true details that support the story, all there because it is “Disney”.
I was still hoping for them to catch up and have an opening by the end of 2025.
Maybe they still will be able to do previews like they did for ToT before Christmas 2025.
Let the speculation begin again!
