It's not an individual. A group of people greenlight projects. You can blame Bob Iger, but as the head of the The Walt Disney Company, he's not greenlighting everything in each park.Who is the person who has had final say on the raft of atrocious attractions of late?
With Disney, you always have that one figure you can go all the way back to , be it a decade long drought in not investing in new attractions, or the success of Pandora, the cheapness of Toy Story Land, and the upcoming Star Wars Land - Bib Iger.
With Universal, and i assume Comcast, who is making these decisions?
Who is the head honcho who is allowing them to hurt the Universal parks, ultimately wasting money? Fast Furious is not a one off. Fallon was equally as poor and lazy. Kong was another lazy screen attraction. I refuse to believe the same person (or people) who green lit Harry Potter Lands are the same people in charge of these raft of disasters.
Who was the one who said 'Universal Studios Orlando will get this horrendous Fast N Furious attraction' ?
Anyone have names? Is it a commitee? Whoever they are, they really have no place in the theme park business.
And to say the three rides you mentioned "hurt" Universal is a matter of opinion. The GSATs, the guests satisfaction numbers that indicate how guests feel about specific attractions, are high for Kong and Fallon. If GSATs are high, then they don't "hurt" the park.
But, the important thing to know is that most of the creative team that created Potter were involved in F&F, Kong, and Fallon.
