I don't agree with any of the parks in foreign countries. It's "outsourcing" American tourism and giving it away. Yes, I know, the other countries "help out" when it comes to the costs. If so then where are the new rides in the USA? They're very hard to come by and only happen every 4 years if that.
IOA - Not much needs to be said about new rides in this park.
MK - When will they do something with 20k Leagues under the Sea?
I could post more examples but you get the idea. Next we'll get the stock argument saying it's for shareholders. In reality, the shareholders are big institutions who decide what happens to the stock. If the parks spent money on new thrill rides, it wouldn't effect the stock. Problem is, bean counters don't see it this way. They make money by cutting costs to nothing so they can get another vacation home and a million dollar bonus. Look at the resume of any controller, or CEO and all they talk about is cutting costs. Nothing about adding new thrill rides that make people go wow.
