Comcast makes more, but their theme park division is dwarfed by Disney’s. Also in Orlando they are 1/4 the attendance and 1/6 the on-site hotels. Simply-put, disney will always outspend UOR until UOR has the attendance to justify it. Comcast isn’t going to spend more than they believe they’ll get back just to piss on Disney. While the theme park people and UC might want that, they don’t control the purse strings.Comcast makes way more in a year in profit than Disney does...they can afford it if they so wish.
I mean, they're literally about to start building an "unthemed" steel coaster.
Right, Skip?
Considering the amount of money that they are already putting into Beijing, being higher than Disneys, I wouldn't rule out Universal having the money needed for something at an immersive level to the likings of Tokyo DisneySea or a Park-wide Diagon in the level of detail and care.
Yeah, Universal can afford to build a fully immersive park and should. Don’t go cheap on a giant steel unthemed coaster just because.
You guys are Universal fans, right? What made you one? Because what you’re wanting- something on the scale of disney sea, the greatest and most immersive theme park in the world, is not what Universal is or has ever been. They’ll make an immersive area, but they’ll always be In your face Universal. Look at Volcano bay for heavens sake- yellow red green blue slides all over the Fin place.
And you’re expecting Disney Sea level of immersion?
I’m all for immersion, but I’m also not going to set myself up for disappointment.
Universal will always be universal and do universal things.
