No there isn't but that wasn't the point of the article. For that matter most times the writer of the article doesn't create the headline.
Right. The point of the headline is click bait.
There is, in my opinion. Guests are paying ever higher prices, yet downtimes are increasing, according to the data. After a while, guests will question the value equation. I do. Especially since capital is bled off (some might say "looted") from the Parks and Experiences Division to pay for deadheads at ESPN, ABC, and streaming, while park equipment maintenance is neglected.
Why is it so hard for many of you to accept the things that are happening and so quick to defend them?
Because so much of the "news" these days are simply attempts to grab eyeballs and thus advertising revenue.
And yet the headline attempts to bring in higher prices.
If ticket prices are increasing it would stand to reason a portion of the price increase would be earmarked to lessen down times of either complex rides or old rides, no?
No, Disney won't use the ticket-$-increase to fix/improve ride mechanics unless there's a liability issue, or an attendance drop-off which polls indicate is due to lack of maintenance.
I know that's the reality. I just think it's a sad reality.
Was this a front line ride operator?
Use of catchy headlines to encourage readership started long before the internet and clicks
Yes, the Disney unions are failing their members.
And it's still detestable.
He was a back of house mechanic fixing ride. We were evacuated off the ride through back where you can see the mechanical area. He reminded me of one of my friends that’s a superintendent for a building that knows how to fix everything, But yeah - he looked tired and was all by himself.
