Hoping there's some kind of miscommunication and they're just moving it to the right of Hyperion, but it's not looking good.That's a bummer. Really added to the atmosphere.
There’s probably a way to move the maintenance facility to a spot that would still work and keep the attraction operational. Do I think they’ll do that tho? Unfortunately, no. A lot of times, when adding a new attraction to a park, something will shutter to offset operations costs. They probably see this as a way to save on the costs of staffing the attraction, and maintenance facilities, instead of invest new capital just to keep it running.
If true, man is that a big loss for the park.
I kinda agreeDCA PEAKED 2012-2016 but has since been going backwards since Mission: Breakout. Change my mind.
You’re not wrong.DCA PEAKED 2012-2016 but has since been going backwards since Mission: Breakout. Change my mind.
Sounds like the Universal Studios park in Orlando.DCA PEAKED 2012-2016 but has since been going backwards since Mission: Breakout. Change my mind.
I feel like DCA has gotten more popular because I do actually believe the changes have been net improvements. Mission Breakout is a blast, food offerings across the park got much better, Pixar Pier is tastefully done, and Avengers Campus is (barely) better than bug’s land.Popularity wise, I think it’s more popular now than it was in those years tho, and that’s their bottom line. That peak, right after the Grand Reopening, felt like the park had a strong (not strict) theme, a true identity and we were just waiting for the rest of it to be finished/fleshed out. Honestly, it felt like the park finally had a heart and soul.
In more recent years, there seem to be a lot of different ideas about what the park should, or could, be since then, and that’s led to a lot of strange (and sometimes contradictory) decisions and design choices.

But I also understand the frustration as it feels like wasted potential. Web Slingers sucks, Incredicoaster was a downgrade, and now the Trolley is a personalloss for me.
