What did they say that makes you say they're overselling the scope? Even if they are, they Disney hype machine knows no bounds. It never stops.I think Disney is overselling the scope, they're making a Mermaid like problem.

They also only ever show the pantry scene in official marketing, so I imagine people might assume most of the ride is like that.I think Disney is overselling the scope, they're making a Mermaid like problem.
Did they think it would bring in people? I was always under the impression this was meant to keep people in the park longer ($$$) and add capacity for Guardians...not sure what the original pre-COVID timeline for this was though to be fair.I hope Ratatouille brings people in like they think it will
I'm getting NFL flashbacksI think Disney is overselling the scope, they're making a Mermaid like problem.
Lol I'm not sure how much more capacity Epcot needsDid they think it would bring in people? I was always under the impression this was meant to keep people in the park longer ($$$) and add capacity for Guardians...not sure what the original pre-COVID timeline for this was though to be fair.
I also have a hard time believing Disney is making any sort of mistake with their opening date. They’re pushing their park reservation system for a reason, and I’d imagine attendance/staffing forecasting that comes with this system has a lot to do with it. I’d imagine October is the next time they either a.) predict a lull or b.) will expand their capacity, in which case they can test the waters with how a new ride does in COVID.
ETA: I’ve been on the Ratatouille ride and it was super underwhelming, and that was BEFORE I’d been on Rise of the Resistance of Mickey’s Railway (which I’m not too fond of either tbh)

I mean, i'm a fan and I just sort of don't think their marketing has been all that prominent. Sure they've shown the short little scene (which honestly I haven't even watched in full yet because i'm insane and try to stay away from any and all spoilers if I can avoid it - i've done it for 7 years, no need to stop now!), but I don't think they're overselling it yet. Now if they start doing a weekly photo reveal of little details about the queue or the ride etc, then I think they'll be approaching Mermaid levels.Combination of several things. Showing off the one big show scene over and over, coming after two incredible trackless dark rides within short order, being Epcot's first major addition in its "overhaul", and the fact it's the only major addition "for" the 50th. It's a one-legged stool.
but it will be the most popular ride at Epcot until GotG opens for sure.
I also wouldn't say it's the only addition "for" the 50th either as I think they'll have Harmonious ready to go on October 1.
That's not what we're arguing though.
But that's what they have NOW for their advertising. Which is what we're all saying: they're overselling the scope of the ride like Mermaid and it won't be judged fairly.
Anyway, someone's spilling the t
Oct 1 isn’t the next fiscal year though lol?

I'm mostly just disappointed that if I take the trip I'm planning for next March, it means neither TRON nor Guardians will even have a chance of being open
It’s odd that someone as in tune with the parks as Len Testa would make such a statement about “putting guest satisfaction first” when the attendance caps at Disney have led to people being able to go on a respectable number of rides in a day while throughput is in the toilet because of distancing. Meanwhile, Saturdays and holiday periods at Universal are a triple-digit wait time mess.
It’s as if Industrial Engineering is king at Disney while Marketing and Sales is king at Universal. Oh wait.....
I mean, if Len wants to sound like an insider then maybe he should be saying that it starts on October 3rd and not a Friday :shrug:
The Saturday closest to 9/30 this year is 10/2, which means the next fiscal starts on 10/3."The Company's fiscal yearend is on the Saturday closest to September 30" source
Except there are some people - myself included - that look at the lack of analytical rigor Universal put into their attendance caps and view that as a lazy business practice. “We’ll deal with it when people show up at the gate” is lazy. “We didn’t measure the new throughput of every ride to inform our attendance caps” is lazy.LOL anything to defend lazy business practices I guess
Incredible:
“Disney is being responsible (distancing!)”
“it’s good business”
“MUH 50th!”
It is what it is, but guests should be upset that there’s a new attraction purposefully being held on ice, and shareholder should be upset that an asset is not being utilized. Even the crepe stand is being held back.
