E-ticket, A ticket, that's not the point. I'm sure the Head will let us know if he feels differently, but its not the "ticket level" of the attraction that is in question. I know I'm not calling for E-ticket only additions.I agree wholeheartedly that Disney should be adding more E-ticket rides.
(That's not to say that whether there should be more e-tickets is not a valid question, only that its not the point in this discussion)
The point is that Aladdin is an example of a half-way decent result coming from a severly flawed process.
It doesn't. Its probably on the high-end.I don't think that rides like Aladdin should represent the majority of WDW ride installations.
I have high hopes for M:S, but just being an E-ticket doesn't make it good.But look at what we have coming up - M:S and a Spain pavillion in Epcot,
Remember, adding new attractions is only part of what we expect from Disney. We also expect certain things from those attractions, like quality, story-telling, SHOW, and an overall fit with the parks philosophy of family entertainment.
Making a judgement about M:S in any direction woudl be premature. My only real criticism at this point is that it will be another attraction with a height requirement. It seems that all new MAJOR attractions at Disney are coming with height requirements these days (unless its a 3D movie...)
Spain is still a rumor, unless I missed something (certainly possible).
There's been ebb and flow on this one for quite some time. Maybe its going to happen, but again there much more to it than just building a ride....rumors about Forbidden Mountain in AK that are getting stronger,
Seriously, where? Beauty and the Beast added two days, and Hunchback lost five days. I know the tests are going on at MK, but as of yesterday, no hours have been extended, or shows added beyond either this or next week. There are more characters, which is nice, but part of that comes from CC going away......more entertainment offerings,
Considering there are four parks on property, I'd say this is quite a long time in theme park years......all on the heals of things like RnR, which wasn't added all that long ago, relatively speaking.
How on Earth can you possibly accept this as a foregone conclusion? Generally speaking, trend analysis works well with entire economies, and even industries. But individual companies buck that trend in both directions all the time. If you think Disney is a well-managed company who has the appropriate philosophy regarding their parks, then sure, you probably think we will automatically see an upturn soon. But is that really what you think?I can understand people losing patience, but in time things will balance. A couple of years from now major E-tickets will represent 67% of installations. A couple of years after that maybe the C's are back to 67% - ebb and flow, ebb and flow...................
