Sunk cost at this point, they spent an insane amount of money developing out Genie et al and can’t admit they were wrong

Them bringing Rhode back to teach a master class in immersive theming to imagineers tells me they may at least try. I think they recognize that Immersion is the one thing that AK has over every other park.

I would be absolutely astounded if the NBCU board would allow Zaslav to be the CEO in this situation lol. They've shown some prudence throughout the last few years and are taking a long term view on Universal entertainment which is antithetical to anything shown by his tenure at WBD.

Scariest house of all time

Fwiw Abigail is directed by the Ready or Not team and looks great

RCID was probably illegal and needed oversight, but the main issue here was that it was clearly a punitive measure by DeSantis. Getting involved in "culture war" issues (read: acknowledging that non-Cis non-Het non-White people exist and are equally deserving of love and respect) is what sparked...

"We both got bloody noses, back to square one" Doesn't reinstitute RCID as it existed prior to Desantis coming in.

He would also be very upset at the current state of the ride’s 3d but that’s for another thread

I used to live in Austin down the street from the old Mondo main shop, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have close to $2k in these flipping mugs in my house...

FWIW I Got this email back after asking for private RIP pricing:

UCM: Steamboat Willie vs The US IP system is rumored

Just finally saw this for the first time, the first show since Illuminations that I think actually fits in Epcot. Solid, but I still miss the GOAT

I think the bigger issue is that it's really concentrated in specific areas. Resort wide their service is pretty comparable, but the areas that have legitimately great service (namely a few of the hotels and some of the restaurants) are substantially better service than anything Universal offers...

90k for the woodwork is probably correct, would be surprised if they could even fit electrical in that. The chucky puppets alone were probably 90k.

Didn't they poach someone recently from Epcot which is why all of the festival food has also been really on point creatively?

I think the issue is that things are ok for businesses but prices largely have not come down for essentials not captured in the CPI so we’re seeing the downswing in discretionary spending which is making things soft.

I think we're more likely to see a reskin/reimagining of Mystic Manor for Encanto in AK, personally. Same concept, though.

Woof this is even less value than I thought Just get a Chase Sapphire Preferred and move on with your life

I'd actually be really disappointed if this was the case, I find that his scores don't really resonate with me, but that's just my taste. Bangalter would be a great get, I'd love to see that.

Not only is it stacked for parks but there's now a new barrier for entry with it being not part of the EU and with the unstable political situation. I'd be surprised to see ground-up build in the UK without some level of government subsidy.
