Exactly. Jaws, even with its flaws had a huge fanbase at Universal. Think a majority of those people hate Diagon Alley?
I’ll never truly believe that in my lifetime that Disney will become just another theme park. Even if they have their rough patches, I’ll see it as just that and know eventually they’ll always bring the charm back. Too many people are pessimistic about the course Disney is taking as if it’ll last forever. There will always be things down there that will have me planning my next trip to go back
There is so much that is still there that sets them apart from a Six Flags. They would have to literally take a wrecking ball to entire parts of their parks and lower their service standards beyond the “low” that people think is already happening before I can even entertain the comparisons. They’d also have to somehow erode at the loyalty and memories we have associated with Disney that makes a lot of us feel different about Disney Parks compared to any other amusement park.
Don’t get me wrong I’m sad at the immediate differences between March 2020 and now, but they would have to seriously WORK to eliminate the Disney difference IMO. I don’t think it’s something we will see. I think in the immediate future there will be a lot we can point at being lost or changed, but that is still far far away from your run of the mill local amusement park. (No matter how cool their coasters are )
