*Tries hard to decipher a hidden picture within the scribble*Knowing that fans were filled with anticipation, Universal rushed to release the concept art for their next new park even though some of the details were still sketchy...
So the key to building/expanding parks is the Olympics...?
....so when does Orlando host them...lol
No kidding, right?
And I don’t understand the purpose- it seems rather dumb.
Considering the entire country is building and prepping for the Olympics w/ new hotels, refurbishment of tourism spots, etc- construction costs are at a premium.
Additionally, it’s not like revamping your theme park for that year will bring in the tourism crowds- the Olympic guests are coming; regardless. Take TDR, for example- Why not open the expansions 2 years before the olympics- capture the massive local crowds seeing the new attractions, and then focus on refurbs and show quality of existing attractions the year prior to when tourists get there. You get 3 years of massive attendance instead of 1. All while having cheaper construction costs due to demand.
It truly makes no sense to me, from an economics stance.
