Which is exactly why more are needed. Heavily themed story-based rides are Disney's market. It doesn't make sense for them to chase another segment that they absolutely cannot win.


They're never going to compete with other parks in roller coasters. Building a coaster may attract some new coaster enthusiasts once or twice, but they're going to gravitate back to Cedar Fair and other places that are full of coasters. Most regional Six Flags dwarf WDW in terms of roller coasters.


That's not to say they shouldn't ever build any coasters; it's fine to have a few. But trying to attract coaster fans is a losing battle for them. It just doesn't make much business sense to build huge ones (and certainly doesn't make sense for them to put in something like a space shot) because it won't be much of a draw.


Disney is different than most other parks around the world. Whether that's good or bad is personal preference (you clearly would prefer it be more like most other parks), but it's nice to have a place like Disney that focuses on different experiences from your standard park.
