Maybe the price hikes and expansion would make enough money to pay some people? Quality cameras are getting cheaper and cheaper. Europa park has a decent flying theater. I did one in Seattle that was pretty good. Legoland can make this work. There is no reason sea world cannot maintain a ride as much as Legoland given the number of guests they receive. And before you claim the lego movie ride is at more than one park, sea world should absolutely monetize this at more than one park. This is the kind of thing that should actually be cheap for the chain.And the flying theater would have the same issue Wild Arctic had-- they don't have the resources or budget for a GOOD film for it. Hell, even Disney can't seem to produce a decent film for Soarin, what hope does SeaWorld have of getting it right?
It's always can't do can't do on the forums though. They can't afford that say people paying record ticket prices.
