Hogsmeade only came with one new attraction though....
The TP crowd levels on AK have been really off. TP listings of 2's and 3's have generally turned out to be 7, 8, or 9's....Good luck and enjoy your day. :thumbsup:
I think that pretty much goes without sayingI'd argue that FJ is a bigger and more elaborate attraction than anything being added in TSL.
The only reason I can understand even why costs are semi-high for this land is because if we remember, they had to do a crap-ton of demolition and ground work on the old backlot area before any construction could start.Better comparison: Diagon Alley + HE cost a little under $300m.
If they had put in a major dark ride and the saucers instead of the coaster, I think that most would be happier. A five minute dark ride vs a 45 second coaster. Of course, I don't see why the stuff costs as much as Disney makes it out to cost.
Can you guess which sign probably costs 50 times more to make than the other?There was an excellent article on Mice Chat a couple of years ago by a former Disney imagineer and he described the processes that escalated costs through the roof. The prime example was a simple sign that could have been procured for something like $50 on the open market and it ended up costing the park thousands of dollars since they had to have it produced by the Imagineers. Kind of similar to those Defense Department military boondoggles you sometimes hear about.

I think a good chunk of money is used for research... even though you don't really need research for this land
We really don’t spend that much on stuff in the DoD. Congressional regulations require comparisons between three vendors and purchasing the item with best overall value. Even though somethings have to be bought from contracted vendors, they’re normally cheaper because of the contract. And if I can find it cheaper on Amazon, I can write a justification to buy it from Amazon.
Anyway, carry on.
It will be interesting to see what the standby times are with no fastpass, even though there will only be one line open.
I mean, honestly FastPass is a lot of the reason that that Lines get long at all anyway... however, they're going to have one track closed from now until the land is ready as they are tinkering getting the new queue and entrance ready in the back.It will be interesting to see what the standby times are with no fastpass, even though there will only be one line open.
Yes, that's why it will be interesting to watch.I mean, honestly FastPass is a lot of the reason that that Lines get long at all anyway... however, they're going to have one track closed from now until the land is ready as they are tinkering getting the new queue and entrance ready in the back.

Yes. They've been operating with one track closed for close to a month now.So they’ll only have two tracks running? I want to see touring plans historical data....
