It was a fun piece of clickbait for cheap online articles. "The ride based on Disney's BANNED film". No one actually cared since they could ride the ride and see it was completely fine.

He is not saying the same thing. You deleted his next sentence. He said guests "are a fulcrum." He said it was absurd to think guest "have nothing to do" with decisions. Then he goes on to explain how guests do, in fact, factor in. You edited his post to make it look like you were saying the same thing. You: Disney does XYZ. They shouldn't do that. Poster: But ALL businesses necessarily do XYZ" You: So you agree with me! Me: Well, no, he doesn't really. By the way, I know you started using winky emojis as some defensive measure when you thought people weren't getting your jokes. But that never was the problem. It wasn't that they didn't know you were joking; it was that they disagreed with the point your jokes were making. So, you can ease up now with the winkies. People can understand jokes even if they don't like them.

Again, I don't get what your point is. Disney is a for profit publicly traded company. Everything decision is done for the benefit of the company/Disney. The officers of any company have fiduciary duty to make all decision in the best interest of the company. The sole purpose of any decision of a company is to benefit the company. They aren't non-profits or charities where the intended goal/purpose is to benefit a certain subset of the population. Guest/fan feelings are never a goal or why companies make decisions. They are a fulcrum to support goals. Businesses offer guest what the they want in order to make money. They don't make money in order to give customers what they want.

I know that just by posting this I'm stepping into a minefield, but I genuinely do not remember seeing any complaints, or hearing of any complaints, about Splash Mountain being problematic before 2020. At most, I saw people say "Hey, isn't it kind of funny that they built an attraction based on this movie they banned?" but I don't think any of those were meant as complaints.

Most of what Disney does nowadays is mostly done based on what looks good on paper.

Disstevefan13 days ago

Can you please talk to Disney's movie business ;) OK, ok, "nothing" is an absurd term. Extreme terms like "nothing" is low hanging fruit for folks who want to argue. In my opinion, Disney makes decisions mostly for Disney and lesser for guest/fans.

JMcMahonEsq3 days ago

From a strictly authorization standpoint, of course Disney does what it wants to do. Every business does what it wants to do at the end of the day, guest/fans have no say in an operation of any business. However to say guest/fans have nothing to do with decisions is just absurd. Disney is looking for Profit. That means decisions are made to increase profits. This can come in the form of direct increase in sales, direct decrease in costs, or increasing attendance/mitigating loss through customer good will. Out of those 3 methods to achieve the goal, 2 of them are directly related to customers. You need your customers to keep coming and buying tickets to the parks and need them to continue buying things. The only way of increasing profit that isn't directly related to customers is decreasing costs, but even that has to be weighed with the idea of will decreasing cost result in a loss of 1 or 3. And the millions spent on a re-skin of Splash Mountain certainly wasn't a direct cost saving.
