Best advice he said (which I totally agree with) is "as much as you want to put your heart and soul into it to create something that Walt would be proud of, a lot of times the clients don't want that. They want what they want and you just have to give them what they want sometimes." This is true and I have experienced it myself. There's a balance though. You don't want to get so jaded by such a mindset that you get too detached. Seeking out clients that share your heart and goals makes a big difference.

I was walking through Disneyland paris yesterday... the weather was glorious, the crowds were low.. I took Belgian friends through the caverns under the Tree house, the dragon liar under the castle, then walked them up the stairs to see the beautiful stained glass windows... started the day with the perfect mine train coaster... and i thank Tony each and every time i walk through the park. The details, the lay out of the park, the beautiful hidden corners... it always gives me so much joy... It really is the most beautiful of all castle parks. and i really hope it will grow in the same way as Tony and the other art-directors envisioned it.
Many years later ... I would _love_ to hear his thoughts on the Spash Mountain to Tiana's Bayou Adventure reformation ...

Sorry about that! We have this one listed as a podcast because there wasn't enough available video to do it justice. Even so, I really enjoyed the story. As well, we think that a lot of people like to listen to it while at work and while driving, so video isn't always necessary. That's why it's listed as a podcast. We have a part two in the works, perhaps with video also. And all told, we think this is a great story if you listen all the way through. I'd appreciate it if you'd help us by changing your dislike to a like so we can create more good stories with people like Brian and Rebecca. Much thanks!

It’s a bit of a misnomer to say there aren’t animatronics in themed attractions anymore. Nearly every major attraction in the last 20 years has one or more. There are exceptions - and yes, many of those are screen based attractions, some that deliver on an immersive experience and some that don’t. But there have been incredible investments in animatronics over the last 50 years and many examples of figures that are key to an attraction’s success (Navi river journey, for example).
@themedattraction6 ай бұрын
It's funny you mention Navi river journey because that shaman animatronic reportedly costs around $10 million dollars. Which really underscores the point: If you could get a robot with similar functions for just $350,000, it's a tremendous value. And then Navi can have a bunch of animatronics and not just one. When we were talking to them and their partners, they used that shaman animatronic as an example of escalating costs. Also, Hershey's Cupfusion, for example, was done entirely for $6 million. So it's hard for a park like Hershey to justify a sophisticated animatronic like in Navi when it's more than their budget for the entire attraction. But for $350k it changes the game a little. We'll see what happens!

all people participating (trainers, employees, and attendees) or associated with this should be locked in a room that is too small to lay down in and too short to stand up in for 24 hours and then see if they have a different opinion on keeping intelligent ocean traversing mammals in a tiny tank. Shameful... 50 to 100 years from now if humanity even survives it's greedy, self-centered, nerotic egoism people will look back at shit like this in amazement....

sometimes there's hidden reasons why something is less busy/less expensive (probably the weather in this case, not really hidden but still). one year my family and i thought we got a great deal on a rental condo on the beach, right before summertime actually started (so like, right before /beginning of june if i remember) but it turns out, that time and location is the PEAK mating season for lovebugs. there were so many on our porch buzzing and mating constantly that you couldn't sit down for two seconds literally lol. but i always have a second doubt about the "least" X of anything, there's always seems to be a catch

Keep in mind that Buzz Price had all the economic data for Disney parks for years. So he truly knew the real answers. Because of this he was able to accurately predict attendance of a multitude of new theme parks. Keep in mind that parks will offer special events to try to boost attendance during the off weeks, so year-by-year, things may be different. Even so, on the whole these are generally the best two weeks of the year to go.
