The Future of Lost Continent (Poseidon Fury closing May 9)

[WAJAS]

And we are...

Wait so Sindbad is finished Sept 15th or is that date referring to something else?

Closing date

 

[happy bunny rabbit]

Welp. That checks off 1 out of the some-30 problems with the current resort. At least they picked a big one.

[Legacy]

HA!

Fast and Furious and Disaster both in one gif!!!


I'll miss the show though. I enjoyed it. I eagerly await the Jumanji Live stunt show.

I'm leaning more towards cost cutting than starting the LC transformation.

This.

Hopefully the TMs will not lose their jobs, and can be transferred to Bourne or other shows at the resort.

I wonder if we're all learning this from the same source or not.

Cost cutting with Sindbad and not Fear Factor? Color me skeptical

I will say if this is a mere cost cutting move, UOR needs new leadership like...tomorrow. It's embarrassing. On a year when attendance is flat-ish? Get out of here.

The internet is sketchy at best.

Sindbad's is not a cheap show to run.

If this is the reason it's embarrassing. UOR management should legit be embarrassed

I've been saying this for years.

In a lot of ways, the place is still clown-shoes.

Yea, no doubt. But at a time when the resort is, monetarily speaking, as strong as it's ever been and you're making budget cuts? How bad do you have to be at your job?

 

[Magic-Man]

Damn, I didn’t think that it’d actually happen. Color me interested!

Really? Two empty live theaters in the park? This one being right next to the biggest draw in the entire park. I think we're missing something.

If that's true there's something core wrong in the management group there, whomever green lighted Fast and Furious in Orlando probably just needs to retire. (If that not being as big a draw as they wanted has anything to do with it)

Speculation is running hot and heavy tonight, I'd like more than one source from twitter that could have just echoed what people were talking about here.

If it's actually closing for costs... what a joke. Can't do their numbers correctly so they put some people out of their jobs so they can still get their bonus when the time rolls around.

Their excuse is probably along the lines of "it's expensive and has terrible GSAT scores".. so the proper response would be to build/write a good show that guests like..

Hopefully it isn't going for costs. Maybe they have a new show up their sleeves?

 

[belloq87]

I'm all in favor of Sin(d)bad (seriously, I can't believe that 'd' is real!) going away, but if it's just sitting vacant for a year (or more) as the result of a cost-cutting measure, I won't be pleased. That's the sort of thing Disney does all too often.

By all means, replace it, but keep it open until you're ready to replace it.

 

[JungleSkip]

Sorry, I know I'm ranting, but I just can't wrap my head around the budget cuts thing. Sindbad survived the Uni Dark Ages when the parks were falling apart. AFAIK it was never cut when people were not going to the parks. Now they're cutting it when people are?

I dunno...I just don't buy it.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

I'd rather want them to just tear apart the theater, and just make a nice little park area that's temp than to have the theater remain vacant and barren for 1-2 years.

I don't buy that it'd just stay vacant for now, but that'd be extremely disappointing.
