Rise of the Resistance opens on January 17. This is a day no passes are blocked out. I'm betting the park will hit capacity that day.
Like we’ve said before: Disney has a HUGE ego. They would literally rather cut offerings or raise the prices on food or parking before they would even think of lowering/discounting prices. They have a financial ego to keep.They're losing money and want to attract new customers and their idea is to cut things while still charging an inflated price?
Whoa. I did not know this.Olivanders sold one million dollars worth of wands in one day.
USH’s opening of Potter woes weren’t as bad as this.

That being said, you think it’s a possibility they could kill tier pricing if this persists? They could still do that and technically that wouldn’t be lowering prices. Good luck trying to get people to pay $150 for one park/one day.
Whoa. I did not know this.
They raised the prices because they thought Star Wars fans where as easy to hand over their cash than Disney fans and the park would be overrun by them and they would love that. They didn't care for the crowd, that is how they spin it and it's untrue.So Disney went through all that trouble with raising prices to keep the outrageous crowds away, and now they’re at the point to where they’re begging to get crushed.

Today's comment From Robert Niles, ThemePark Insider..."And that Disney is writing off the year at Disneyland and banking instead on RotR helping boost the numbers in 2020."
Hell, they're not accurate anyway, just guesses, except for the Japanese Parks.The TEA numbers will be interesting next year.

It’s honestly shocking as all heck to me that Marvel, which is the film franchise that’s been disney’s Biggest bread and butter for years, (yes, I’d argue even more successful than Star Wars ever was. Even outside of Disney.) is getting a “ehhh, clone this ride!” Vibe to it. Extremely immersive super hero attractions, come on! Even six flags has a great one! I don’t always mind IP, but at least do something... interesting with it?
This. If Universal can create one of the worlds best attractions out of Marvel before it was popular, Disney should be able to top them 20 years later. My God.
*Sips La Croix*Hipster Universal.

Is it true that original ideas aren’t allowed?Hoooo boy. I think Disney is going to be in really big trouble the rest of this year and next year. A lot of people who went, including me, are claiming there’s no familiarity...it doesn’t feel like Star Wars. Maybe people will be more interested once Rise opens, but even then, despite how detailed and cool-looking GE is, fans are “eh” about it.
Marvel is their hottest property right now. I wonder how guests are going to feel about the biggest craze right now being a downsized land being anchored with a Midway Mania clone next year? You know guests are going to be expecting a lot from Disney pushing a Marvel land with a ride based on Marvel’s most popular character. I think Disney is going to be in for some more pushback for mishandling their IPs.
If there seems to be some pushback from their Marvel land, maybe this might inspire the bean counters to....gee, I don’t know....ALLOW ORIGINAL IDEAS FOR RIDES.
