It's a clone...techinically it is already designed except for modifications for site... And again, they built the entire EPCOT theme park in three years... the whole park....

if Disney was smart... which most of the time they are not... they would expedite expansion and offerings (not just replacements of existing attractions) with the crowds increasing

Technically, you are just flat out wrong. A clone only gets the early work done, the general information of concept design and schematic design. It tells you nothing about how it is actually built, all of which must be redone for the new location. How long does it take you to just read one thousand page?
And translate 10 thousand measurements from metric to imperial... and change everything to meet Florida hurricane code standards.... and redesign a different fitting queue... and add a new tiny-mini land courtyard wrapping around a pavilion.... and argue incessantly about whether and how to upgrade the projection system...

How are electrical systems designed for attractions since there are potentially incompatible power systems in every park? Do they design them to run everything off of DC and then have a big central AC/DC adapter somewhere? Or do they just make sure that everything has multi-voltage/multi-frequency power supplies, or do they respecify to appropriate AC motors where necessary?

It sounds like that is becoming less of a compliment than it used to be.

Why would you build and open everything at the same time? If you can open something new every year and advertise it...wouldn't that be better to keep people coming back instead? Some people would run Disney like playing Rollercoaster Tycoon in sandbox mode with unlimited cash and dropping all the rides in there at once...

You could shave off 1 year of construction out of every project and still open them within the same relative time of each other.

I'll probably regret saying this again, but . . . none of this justifies it taking three years.
This ride is taking an enormous amount of time to build for what it is.

Which parks are you differentiating between, individually or domestic/international? Imagineering hires third party architects and engineers for projects who are licensed in the respective jurisdiction of the project. Local equipment is used while Disney maintains their own standards (of nearly everything) to create some uniformity within a Resort.
Disney is desperate to add capacity because their multi billion dollar crowd management system cannot do what was promised. You don’t fill thousands of timeshare units with infrequent visitors.
Again, a year of that includes design.

Indeed - I suppose I should have said "This ride is taking an enormous amount of time to Create for what it is".
You win.

Why would you let your flagship theme park languish for decades with only minor upgrades until you HAVE to build something to meet guest demand and capacity crowds? They need the expansions built because they put it off for so long....
And another thread gets eaten by the FP debate.

I'm sure someone around here knows so I will throw out the question of how much has park capacity increased since that time as well? Enough to absorb an extra 3 million guests per year? Not asking for snark, legitimately would like to know if across the 4 parks, has attraction capacity increased to keep up with the demand? Something tells me I already know the answer by intuition but I like cold hard data.
