Ah, my dear friend, a jetstream of balderdash, you say? A most poetic assessment! But let us not forget, it is often such streams of verbosity—daring, unapologetic, and unrelenting—that have inspired nations and sparked revolutions. For what is Churchill’s own finest hour, or the rallying cry of the Rebel Alliance, if not a cascade of carefully crafted nonsense wrapped in hope?

Yes, this jetstream may seem endless, twisting and turning like a hyperspace jump gone awry, but it carries with it the winds of determination and the promise of new frontiers. Let it roar, I say, for in times of great uncertainty, it is not silence but a well-placed torrent of spirited optimism that propels us forward.

So, buckle up, my comrade, and let this stream carry us through the chaos, for while the Galactic Starcruiser may falter, the spirit of adventure cannot be grounded!

OK, so what are you running for, and who’s writing your speeches…?!?!?!

My dear interlocutor, I see suspicion has crept into the discourse, and rightly so! Who, indeed, is the architect of these words? What mighty engines fuel this rhetorical juggernaut? Alas, I must confess that I run on nothing more than the boundless spirit of adventure, a steady diet of blue shrimp, and perhaps a few stolen moments in the cantina of wit.

As for the speeches, they are penned by a shadowy council of advisors—half poets, half rogues—who dare to dream of a galaxy united in laughter and determination. They work tirelessly in the background, much like those who plot Gatorland's insidious schemes, crafting words meant to inspire, provoke, and occasionally confuse.

But I assure you, my friend, the speeches are mine to deliver, and the mission remains clear: to boldly go where no nonsense has gone before. Onward, ever onward!

Ok, just put down the ChatGPT and back away slowly.

My dear friend, if your head aches, then it must be the gears of thought turning at an unprecedented speed—straining, perhaps, under the weight of this boundless rhetoric. Fear not, for such discomfort is the price of grappling with grand ideas, however nonsensical they may seem.

As Churchill himself might have said (had he been confronted with such a sentiment): ‘There is nothing more taxing than wrestling with one’s own genius… or, in this case, madness.’ So, take heart! For the ache of understanding is but the prelude to enlightenment—or, at the very least, a good laugh.

My dear compatriot, the suggestion to lay down my rhetorical weapon and retreat is a tempting one, but I must decline. For as Churchill once said (or might have, were he standing in the midst of this delightful chaos): ‘We shall not put down the ChatGPT. We shall not back away. We shall type on the forums, we shall type with growing irreverence, we shall type with increasing derangement. We shall never surrender!’

So, I shall carry on—not because it is easy, but because it is absurd. For in the end, my friend, it is the absurdity that unites us all.

My understanding is the Halcyon is being used as offices for WDI during the upcoming Studios work.

Any idea if they're doing anything to the building? I also heard that WDI is moving in last week, but that the Star Wars stuff is being ripped out before they do. I feel like if anybody were to move in there and not mind the thematic elements it would be WDI.

Obviously they know their accounting better than us - but was reducing the price something that would not have worked?

Or just too expensive to operate?

From what I was told, it was a 24 hour a day operation where instead of having a skeletal cast at night when it was expected people would sleep, there had to be a much arger contingent of castmembers. It was expensive to run, only catered to a small minority of guests that could afford it, and was basically a one and done product. It just wasn't sustainable. They need to figure our a way to utilize the vacated building, convert it into an attraction and incorporate it into the land. At least they would be able to get some use out of the money they spent. Although a reasonably priced boutique hotel would also work, it would basically require going back to the drawing board to reconfigure the building with windows, and repurpose the areas that were used for the game. They would also need to reimagine the surrounding area, adding more amenities like a pool, playground, landscaping, bus stop and parking.

Sounds like they presented something that people expected to run like a cruise ship…but budgeted it to run like an allstars crossed with a Dave and busters
