Are you kidding? Take Typhoon Lagoon- make the slides neon orange and not have rock work around them- and tell me it's just as immersive.
Keep in mind- as someone who has gone to TL, BB and VB- VB is hands down far and away my favorite water park. But Universal put giant exposed and colorful slides to draw your attention to the slides- in particular from the highway. One could argue a 200' volcano should do that, but again, that's universal. They're in your face, exposed colorful coasters, exposed colorful slides. Likewise, they have absolute masterpieces.
But if you think bright yellow slights make VB more immersive, I don't know what to tell you Dave.
I never said that. I said "Comcast isn’t going to spend more than they believe they’ll get back". Which I think is pretty obvious. I also said Disney will always outspend UOR until UOR has the attendance to justify it.
Again- I'll beat this drum again- UOR has 1/6 the rooms Disney World does. UOR has 1/4 the attendance Disney World does. Those are the facts. Not my ambition, not my aspiration- what it is, today. If Universal believes that they can get closer to Disney's level- by quadrupling their attendance with their next park and sextupling their hotels rooms, then they'll spend more to do it. If they feel like the numbers will be less than that, they won't spend as much. They have projections, internal numbers, goals, etc. And most importantly, they have budgets.
I want Universal to be on "that level"- but that's a level they aren't going to hit or eclipse, I'm sorry.
