DCA didn't get it right at all at first, and hasn't gotten it right since. I'd love to believe they're going to get it right this time, but so far I've read/seen nothing to make me believe that hardly anything has changed. I fear they still don't get it, and this time they're going to blow $1 Billion not getting it.

THIS is what I've been trying to say!!!!!!
Look, I ENJOY going to DCA!!! But I also believe that a change has been needed for sometime. Hopefully, the changes that are in place will be an improvement over the current theme.
...Immersion...I like that word.....
And Pinocchio... you did misquote me...
Here's what I said...
"I agree that "Theme" parks build rides around their particular "Theme" (That goes without saying). What I said (yet again) is that the rides in DCA would have been successful regardless of the "California Theme". I also said that the "California Experience" Theme was a bad theme because
people wanted two things out of a Disney Park....Characters and Attractions. I stand by that statement."
And here's your reply...
"There's no factual evidence that people
only want characters in DCA. This is such a cop out and an excuse to let Disney put rides in wherever they want regardless of theming. What is factual is that in recent years Disney has only wanted to market their characters. That's why you don't see original stuff anymore. Everything has to promote some Disney film."
Did I say ONLY characters??
Looks like a misquote to me.
Plus...
I said...
"You bet its about marketing!! That's where the money is made! But tell me...
Who is Disneyland marketing to?? Isn't it their GUESTS??? If you don't cater to your base customer, you lose business!
The Base Customer is...KIDS and FAMILIES!!!"
You said...
"
I would strongly argue that their audience is not just families with children. Disney parks are supposed to be for everybody. They are only catering to kids these days and they are going to start loosing groups like teens and the elderly who want to do other things than just cartoon rides."
"Base" audience is not "ENTIRE" audience. The Base Audience is the TARGET audience. While other groups (Teens/Elderly) are addressed, the main group that the Park (DLR) is trying to satisfy is the "Kids/Family" audience. DCA was supposed to be more adult oriented...
...But I will take back what I've said about the
I shouldn't compare "The Original" to "Nemo" until some time has passed.
