Volcano Hotel

[Tony the Tigger]

There will be a gondola track that just runs around Volcano Bay so they don’t have to build their own.

I completely agree...I swear, I never remember Disney raising the prices this much in the past (they probably have). I just started really following this in he last 10 years or so (since I started paying myself). However, I feel like this is Disney's favorite move in the last so many years. Guest numbers are down? Raise the praises so we show gains in profit. Now, I know this is a popular business move. It is just ridiculous.

Its not just Disney.

And that sounds like someone's opinion on it. Mine is that Disney has plans in place for years and years before actually acting on something. Just because one park builds something, and a few years later the other park does, really doesn't mean that one had anything to do with the other.

ETA: Oh, and you should read Marty Sklar's book. He talks about how they started MGM Studios long before Universal Studios, and that it opened a year earlier as well. If anything, Universal was responding to Disney, and not the other way around.

Universal claims Eisner was shown plans for the park before he was with Disney.
