Yes. One of the issues when Executive & upper management pay is so heavily based on profit percentage bonuses. It discourages good long range decision making/investment and instead encourages short term cost oriented fixes that may be detrimental to long term needs.It’s a quarter by quarter business. Just keep pushing it off until the next quarter. Then the next one, and so on.
God forbid we have a bad quarter and people only get 12 million dollar bonuses instead of 20. How will they eat?
Unless the exec has some character then they could make things happen. Don't think the Bob's are those guys though.Yes.

I know it’s been since DCA opened practically that they’ve put off, but the city of Anaheim hasn’t made it easy in recent years, either. So it’s not *all* about an unwillingness.Best example of this is the years and years a new parking garage was put off at DLR.

I wasn’t trying to imply that Disney wasn’t to blame, just that when they finally did decide to actually go forward with the new gateway, Anaheim wasn’t having it.Yeah no “both sides” here. They had 15 years, sorry they’re feet dragging is giving them some headaches *now*. Of course I could just as easily say Anaheim could be on board with Disney on everything they do and DLR would still be dragging their feet in some way.
The off-white and grey are not helping it anyI know it’s the shadows but that looks filthy.
The million dollar question .... find out after the breakSure it looks pretty... but will it run ok?
I find it fairly disturbing how much money Disney pours into the monorails whether it be for adding automation or changing the aesthetic, all to keep these old dogs going just one more day.Sure it looks pretty... but will it run ok?
The problem is, even if they ordered a new fleet of monorails today, these would still have to run for another 5 years.I find it fairly disturbing how much money Disney pours into the monorails whether it be for adding automation or changing the aesthetic, all to keep these old dogs going just one more day.
The automation project was not cheap and I really question why Disney chooses to spend money on the monorails the way that they do when they could just buy new ones and avoid the headache...
Do they take that long to build?!The problem is, even if they ordered a new fleet of monorails today, these would still have to run for another 5 years.
^ Easily a 5 year time frame for design and construction.
Yikes, although...I feel like just keeping them running forever isn't a viable option either.^ Easily a 5 year time frame for design and construction.
