Disney going broke after assimilating and ruining every pop culture franchise is just too perfect.

PoundSand posted:It’s cause more people are going there’s p much never going to be a workaround other than building duplicate parks or raising prices so much people stop going. There's 80 million more people in the US than there were in 1990, 50 million more than in 2000. Just way more people now than when there were when most SA posters were kids but most of the big tourist stuff around the country is still the same size.

Ardennes posted:Most signs are showing that the Parks (at least in the US) are below their pre-COVID numbers, they have been squeezing the guests in part because they still aren't back to where they were. 2023 data is a little hazy but it may have even been a worse year than 2022. Wasn’t the Parks division padding their numbers which how the Parks guy got put in charge of all of Disney for while?

And the nature of neoliberalism is that you never add capacity, you always maintain or shrink it in order to extract more premium rents

the light show is extremely dope in person but i think you can actually see that part from outside the park and the rest was eh the universal park has better roller coasters but still nothing worth traveling for or paying for

selec posted:the greatest piece of documentary cinema about America right now is 44 minutes long. it documents two car chases, one at night, one the following day. the chases are over within about the first five or ten minutes. what remains is the part you weep through. it took place on the 19th-21st of last month in Arkansas. good news! chud sheriffs are lobbying to avoid carrying narcan/avoid needing to revive ODs. just like free meals for kids in chud states, the attitude seems to be a gleeful "gently caress em hahahaha you triggered lib?!?!" d2a, acab, etc

Beached Whale posted:At what point does Google go full nuclear and make core features of YouTube and Google unusable on any browser that supports functional adblockers like Firefox or Opera? I think they've kept support alive long enough because they don't want to end up like M$ in court with Internet Explorer but given how slimey their monopoly tactics have been in every other area that can only be so much of a concern. the US government spending years going after microsoft for IE seems almost quaint now. Edge is the same poo poo but worse, and Google and Apple do whatever they want. im legit amazed that google doesnt just ban adblockers they dont like from the chrome store on some pretext. whos gonna stop them, the government? lol

Bar Crow posted:Wasn’t the Parks division padding their numbers which how the Parks guy got put in charge of all of Disney for while? He was, but almost certainly the parks side is still under performing compared that era. That said, Chapek setup the type of hosing that is now commonplace. Yeah, I would probably be very underwhelmed going to anything Disney as an adult (I mean at a certain point you could get a plane ticket to Italy). I imagine it wouldn't be as fun as a kid just due to the lines, and having your parents pull their hair out at the expense and bureaucracy.
