Perhaps I'm wrong, but this reads to me as demanding posters solve staffing and logistical issues, things that none of us have the information to even begin to attempt.
I also don't see why its odd, on an internet message board, to suggest that Universal needs to invest more heavily in certain aspects of the park. That seems like entirely reasonable and relevant criticism. Comcast's spending priorities are not written in stone by a divine hand and have no particular hold on those outside the corporate chain of command.
There is also a lot of room between, "I am concerned about certain aspects of the park," and "I am going to stop paying to go to the parks." It's a space where a lot of discussion can take place. Implying that posters who love going to Universal should either stop criticizing it or stop going doesn't really foster interesting conversation.
As for actual ideas to increase capacity that might be attempted before pricing out large groups of fans, we could discuss some of Brian's good ideas from his October post as a starting point.
Well, I didn't have this on my BINGO Card... lol
Casper, the question stems from RBLX refusing to acknowledge some of the difficulties that would present itself with some of his suggestions. So to try to maybe get a better understanding, I posited the question because maybe there was something he could offer to this debate that all of us were missing.
It would be silly to "demand" that, and put the onus on the posters - but for the sake of the discussion, it needed to be asked because it was going in circles.
To be clear...
1 We've all acknowledged some things in regards to crowds need to be fixed. We've all acknowledged price increases suck. No one is advocating for higher prices, just realizing that it's an inevitability. The ticket discussion has either been to cut out ROF or change the ticket structure to "# of Days" system.
2. A majority of us don't have an issue with adding a 2nd show, but RBLX (and I'm sorry to single you out, but this is the crux of the discussion the last few pages) has been insistent that the show needed to be similar to the drawing power of HNF - which has caused the pushback from other users.
As far as some of your points:
The refusal to consider that cost is entirely a restriction Universal has imposed on ITSELF, a choice.
Everything about this is ITSELF, a choice - including the consumer side. The business makes a decision, the consumer considers if that decision warrants their money - and so on... It doesn't make it wrong or right, and considering the event has continued to grow; it's safe to say that the business decisions on the MACRO level have led the consumer to spend.
WITHIN Universal's SELF-IMPOSED financial limitations, that's not really fair
It's also not fair to just expect Universal to spend care-free. Every decision has to make sense. They aren't going to rent a soundstage out, especially when they are already using a good chunk of them, for a secondary (maybe even tertiary) show in an area that is already packed to the brim. That's not solving the issue, but exacerbating it - just for the sake of "adding a show".
That's the whole point of this debate.
Adding a show that also doesn't combat spreading out the crowds. In this case, as Legacy pointed out, a majority of the available spaces present some pretty big crowd issue which negates the whole point of adding the show in the first place.
I also feel that this needs to be made clear... understanding how the machine works is not an endorsement.
Implying that posters who love going to Universal should either stop criticizing it or stop going doesn't really foster interesting conversation.
We need to stop using this as a crux. It's a bad-faith argument. No one here has asked to stop criticizing the park. (See the #1 and #2 above). Funnily enough, the above comment contradicts your very questioning of "demanding the posters to solve" post. Criticizing an idea or pushing back hyperbolic posts isn't stopping a discussion. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
Understanding that this is the slow time of HHN discussion, the thread got a little carried away - but I think it's time we put an end to the topic and just wait for the next bout of news for the sake of other readers. So time to move on.
RBLX, if you have any questions, want to continue the convo, or wanna vent - feel free to DM me.
