Everyone keeps saying get rid of the games and build a flat ride.
- The games generate revenue, Flat rides in this market don't even get people in the gate. Comcast (and in turn it's subsidiaries) is a publicly traded company, and their obligation to the shareholders(owners) is to generate as much money as possible. If they remove this revenue stream they need to make it up in another form, as well as show growth year to year (hopefully). The fact that the parks make a good profit is why Comcast is dumping all this money into the parks. If we take away the revenue, we also take away the expansion.
- The logic that if games fit a flat ride could fit confuses me. The games sit on a pathway. Behind that pathway are trees. For the two games closest to marvel those trees are maybe 5 feet deep and then you have the lagoon. The two games closest to toon, the trees are maybe 5 feet deep and then them a service area. And in the middle, it probably goes 15 feet back to Blutos. There is simply not room there.
