And your competitors decisions to panic and not invest during pandemic and starting to pay off with *checks notes* holding back rides that began construction nearly 5 years ago.

Disney's history of "not investing." These are the capital expenditures on domestic parks 'and experiences' in billions of dollars in fiscal years ending...

2018: 3.2
2019: 3.3
2020: 2.1
2021: 2.3
2022: 2.2 so far for 3 quarters, estimated 2.8 for the year.

You can spend billion on bad buys in the stock market too….

It’s not that they don’t spend money it’s that they spend it poorly.

It was originally moved to USF as an expansion to Diagon Alley before being ultimately scrapped because Universal creative didn't think the final version would've been a strong attraction.


For Epic Universe it was reportedly replaced by the extreme spinning coaster that will be located in the Classic Monsters land. In my book, this is an upgrade to the opening day attractions line-up!

I thought the spinning coaster replaced the theater show for Monsters Land?

It did! I should've made it clear that the Broomstick VR experience was "replaced" in the sense that another attraction was added (in another land) after it was scrapped.

That's not a replacement though. The new Monsters attraction is replacing a previously proposed Monsters attraction (a show.) The VR attraction will be replaced when its own plot isn't sitting empty.
