To be fair, Disney cloned Galaxy's Edge and opened the same thing in both American parks instead of making them different so people would want to visit both parks. It was lazy design.

@@LostInSpice Both versions of SWGE opened at nearly the same time, and so far they aren't exactly success stories.

@@karasumer Exactly, and making them clones of each other isn't going to make people want to visit both parks.

Damn should have read the comments, I made this same comment.

@@LostInSpice Not sure I'd refer to it as lazy, I mean go to Florida or California you're going to come across similar rides in both areas.

H a

More like a dead Fish Called Wanda.

haha

Hahahaha

Clever

Problem is Wanda group is not even a wolf, just an ugly puppy.

.....with fricken lasers man!!!

Perfect comment and description 👌. And even that’s an understatement of them being a HUGE FRIGGIN TIGER. Disney as a theme park producer let alone a company in its entirety is simply positively massive. It’s weird from wandas statements, it’s like They are acting like they killed wandas family, extended family, dog, cat, stole their money, and ate the last m&m in the bag. Maybe they just don’t like an American company coming in and taking huge profits. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@GMoney-B ......with lazers, man!

Shere Khan killed Akela in front of other wolfs btw

You summed up my long commentary in two simple lines. 👌. Lol.

😄

Okay in all honestly they probably do know who Wanda is, it's US consumers who don't know what it is. Wanda is a massive congolmerate that owns real estate, including a massive chain of movie theaters and also its own movie studios. They just rushed the theme parks way too hard to compete with Disney's opening and didn't nail down important concepts like what would keep customers coming back. Many of Wanda's indoor theme parks were located inside their massive malls, so people could visit the parks and also do shopping/dining after they were done in the park - but they just didn't understand their audience well enough.

@@alexliu5806 I don't think you got the reference in C N's comment. It's a reference from Avengers: Endgame when Wanda (Scarlet Witch) faces Thanos.

@@spacebug30 lmaooo he didnt get the reference

especially when they aren't just competition, they're some of the people you're also ripping off hahahaha

@@jevinday thats why, they have very cheap long term tickets. Pay 60 for 1 ticket for 1 day?, pay 120 for 4 days?.. pay 200 for whole summer? pay 400 for whole year..... be a local, cut all price by half.

ye

The xfl got bought by the rock and has a fighting chance

Exactly! What I just said a few seconds ago. But, I'm coming up with a immersive and theatrical theme park with attractions, and I Will NOT attack Disney and Universal!

@@Robocopnik well that was aggressive. Also the comment was made 5 months ago

@@SuperNuclearUnicorn it was such a sick burn, it took 5 months to come up with it.

@@Robocopnik Struck a nerve? lol

Ain’t nobody goin to Wuhan China unless they are CDC

@@Robocopnik Wuhan was a largely irrelevant city internationally prior to Covid-19. Outside of China people basically know Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai.

@ryubaks Disney pulls a Luigi.

They're even slapping them in the face, intentional or not, with the release of WandaVision.

and Universal

I think it could've been a bigger hit, if it was just one part of a theme park, and not all just crammed into a single building

You kidding me, it's like the makers of those knock-off consoles taking on Nintendo. Wanda had no chance in Hell!

I would compare it to Sega rushing the Saturn to try to get ahead of Sony, only to be met with the legend that is “$299*” They would have been better off working with Disney instead of trying to destroy one of the largest companies in history. *For those not versed in the history of console gaming, Sega, in the mid 90s, was fighting an uphill battle. Sony was about to join the console wars, so Sega of Japan went behind Sega of America’s back and pushed the Saturn out early. They gave this long winded speech hyping the console at the Consumer Electronics Show (the gaming industry had yet to spin off E3) and setting an early release date, which backfired, and the launch price of $399. When Sony did thier presentation to show off the original PlayStation, the head of Sony of America walked on stage, said “$299” ($100 cheaper than the Saturn) and walked off.

Never heard of them

Allen M. Quinn I agree

@@metropod Its also funny that Sony got into the Console War after Nintendo rejected their idea for a Disc Based system addon for the Super NES if I recall right. Then Sony decided "Fine we'll make it ourself"

He said so because he want to manipulate the nationalism sentiments to advance his business. That’s what they do to win favor from the government.

Well said.

Yes they are, they build a character that goes with many of their fans, from old generations Lion King, to nowadays generations Frozen

And the legendary Donald Duck & friends, (of course Mickey too, but I prefer Donald since he has his own story for worldwide

Eh, to be honest, they do have rides that don't have much of a story to them.

Chinese culture is still pretty cheesy and lame, and a lot of their CEO's (Jack Ma) are still losers. So they make decisions like this. China is an amazing case study of partial communism leading to a disparate evolution between culture and business.

This remind me of no weenies allowed spongebib episode Where spongebob tries hard to go inside only just to slip and fall from ice cube

But that's partly it, they're not a worldwide icon. Their only success story is within China, and I doubt you even knew that they owned AMC or Legendary. Also there is some speculation that the restructuring was partly pushed for by the Chinese government to stop local companies from taking on too much debt.

@@alexliu5806 Val and Brit was calling Disney a worldwide icon.

@@apexone5502 Yes and I'm saying Wanda is not a worldwide icon... are you missing something?

@@alexliu5806 and I'm telling you that the original commenter wasn't calling Wanda a worldwide icon. He/she were calling Disney the worldwide icon. Your original comment came off as if you were correcting them for something that they weren't implying.

@@apexone5502 ...I don't see the implication. "Their only success story is within China" should probably indicate that it's Wanda they're talking about, not DIsney, because it's blatantly obvious that Disney's successes span way outside China.

Disneys only real competitor is Universal.

pewpewpew!!!

More like a sleeping giant... maybe if they ever talked to Japan, they would understand how big the giant is 😂

Lol

like literally they spent half a billion to make this entire park disney spent A FULL BILLION on just the galaxys edge extension to there park alone and that whole place is boring overpriced trash

A copy of ideas, but it sounds as if they sunk a fair chunk of change into it...so cheap knock off no....it was a pricey knock off. ;)

DementedCaver it cheap as shit, Star Wars galaxy edge alone was a billion dollars 💵

Disney in Shanghai used a lot of Chinese culture themes/localized. It is copy of Chinese culture or not?

Whey you eat some fruits, rice, or vegetable, do you feel guilty because you Americans copy or steal them from other continents? Civilizations progress because they touch each other and exchange ideas and products.

@@patrickwu6052 but, I don't go around selling almost the exact fruit and telling you that you'll never turn a profit in 10 to 20 years because mine is greater than yours.

Hey there Avery 👋 we seem to have the same interest in vids and live-streams!

I wonder this too. Was he banking on the hate we hear about from the Chinese for USA, or perhaps this 'hate' we hear about is just propaganda.

3 years after this statement and it seems prescient regarding Desantis. Hee!

Well they dont want to end up in death camos to be fare lol , i guess they are better at making deadly plauges than dland rip offs

I'm not surprised at all. Wang Jianlin sounds a lot like Donald Trump. Nobody tells Trump when he's being an idiot because he just fires them for it. I suspect a similar situation is at work here.

The story of any ambitious, successful CEO/President in China. Everyone bends backwards not just for you but also for your spoiled bratty kid in school.

More like someone showed them Disneyquest without telling them how much of a failure it truly was 😏

@@Yukosan13 It was fine back in the day. Most of its attractions just didn't age well, with VR becoming something you can experience at home, and the fact that they only ever made a marginal effort to update anything. It was like a snapshot of 90s tech-based entertainment up until the day it closed nearly two decades later.

Shen Doodles my money is on the wolves

If we're talking about actual animals, I'm sure the tiger could disembowel at least 2 or 3 of those wolves before being taken down.

@@CatLives9 Well, not really. Take down the alpha wolf, and the next in charge. The remaining pack will scurily around with the tail between the legs.

“And did we mention Shanghai Disney cost 5.5 billion dollars by the by?” Lol. You know that’s pretty amazing even for Disney. What an amazing team they have to be so efficient. Most business suck at managing their money.

@@GMoney-B they HAD a amazing team current disness sucks worse then wanda park at managing money they STILL havent even paid the fox buy out back yet and are in very very deep debt due the coff yet they still throw money away yeah Bob and chepeak are the beevus and buthead of all disney ceos

It's unfortunate. I imagine many people outside of China, like myself, had never heard of Wuhan before the pandemic. It's too bad that now that's what so many of us think of when we hear the name of that city.

Same for 99% of the population. But thanks for pointing that out

Had to check the upload date and went "oh. Oh no..." I guess the good news is that if they didn't close down then they would have had to close during the Rona anyway

Some people I know call it the Who-Flu

Disney Quest failed because it sucked.

DISNEY quest was opened for many years. They closed because times have changed.

@@LostInSpice I would choose Disney Quest than NBA Experience. Also it did not suck. Outdated yes but suck no

Pirates of the Caribbean at Shanghai? Interesting I'll check it out thanks

@@LostInSpice ok dummy

same........it's a conspiracy!! aha

If it hadn't been closed already, probably would have been today anyway

Originality seems to be a lost art in Chinese culture lmao

It's just that Chinese capitalists have no respect for the intelligence of the people, so does the government

They take other countries inversions add there own crap to by pass any Patten laws.

And in turn Disney is in someway suffering the same thing when it comes to storytelling with their films.

DisneyTimeLord Eh, not really

TheTravelingSoldier Very nice if you like simulators and don’t want to go anywhere.

@et look up futuroscope

There are a lot of simulators at Disney anyhow. But I don't think putting them in an indoor complex is a good idea. Disney works because there are huge spaces to explore between the "big rides"...

where have I seen that? Universal.. cough. Universal. cough.

@@Eternaldarkness3166 Heyy, Universal Orlando has, like, 3 roller-coasters...

If they treat their citizens like garbage the government wouldn't bother raising the standard of living for the country, lifted 800 million people (src: world bank) out of poverty and modernize and develop the country as a whole and turned it into the second most powerful country in the world. China isn't perfect but the reality is quite different than what the west are always selling you.

Thats why I hate China, I know hate is a strong word but it's the closest. I by no means h8 the Chinese people only the Government & Business sector, excluding Hong Kong. Hope the Transition into China goes smoothly with the HK people not losing their rights,freedom, and 21st century thinking. #1 U.S , #2 France #3 Japan #4Uk #5 rest of Europe.I have hopes for Germany.

@@edjoultz9678 Have you ever visited China?

@@manchurianscilly8785 Interesting and I've visited China on many occasions in factories and relatives over a dozen cities in China and I've never seen anything remotely even close to what you just described. Which cities or province did you go to? I know China from personal experience and over decades of visits, CNN doesn't help or portray China differently than any other western media.

@@manchurianscilly8785 First of all I'm Cantonese with roots in HK and relatives in Zhuhai, Guangzhou, Taichung(TW), and Shanghai. I've been to China countless times even before China started to develop. I went into China several ways one is from the China Ferry terminal located at TST to take the highspeed ferry into Zhuhai or cross from Lo Wu(via KCR before now MTR) into Shenzhen where some of the factories are located at. Before the HK highspeed rail was completed I would take the Chinese direct train to Guangzhou from HungHom station and for Shanghai I land in HongQiao and not Pudong, because I usually go to HK first. I really dont know what other information you need from going into the border besides giving them the entry card and the health declaration form passing through immigration which they're in light blue clothing but back in the days it was green. Customs is white and you exit through green or red channels it's pretty straight forward. I think your definition of abject poverty and mine is different, I saw how poor and underdeveloped China was and now all I see is living standards that are way better than before. Cities especially Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing and many more that are simply stunning and infrastructures that put many countries to shame including the US. Everytime I go to China I am amazed with the progress and the changes there. You know what is abject poverty? The homeless people all over dt Los Angeles(skid row) SF, and Seattle. Of course China still has poor people but I've never seen anything remotely like the homeless crisis all over the USA, at least the poor Chinese have shelter over their heads and not sleeping on the streets or creating tent cities. I dont know what ethnicity you are but you dont even know me, and you're assuming that I've never even visited or know about my motherland is extremely insulting. If you don't believe me then theres nothing more I could say nor am I here to convince anyone to begin with. In my earlier post I simply stated my observations and my experiences in China. Maybe you saw something and experienced something I haven't, but I've traveled extensively in the country and it doesn't even look and sound as dire and bad as you say. Maybe we live in an alternate reality I dont know but the China I saw was progress at least the development side as for politics that's a different story.

Mike B The Midway Mania ripoff was really egregious. Right down to the shape of the blasters and the style of the animation.

Yeah, or I can get myself a VR set, and it is more interactive than this.

u are dumb. the video mention 3 million guest in the first year. that like 8000 guest not 500. people just believe on what the video said and think it is right. oh gosh and somemore 29 people like your comment without thinking. all of them are so stupid.

@@Samngchaoyu I think Logan is thinking about the last days the theme park was open, they were only having 500 a day. If they were consistent with 8000 per day every day, the park may have stayed open.

I know hookers who get more visitors

@@Samngchaoyu u are dumb. the video mentions that the park was getting less than 500 guests per day by the 4th year. oh gosh and you are insulting people without even watching the video. you are so stupid.

Come to think of it, the only times I've ever heard of the failings of anyone due to hubris in China come from historical records; never myths, legends, or even children's stories. They need to get their fingers out of their ears and start listening.

@@gregorymckenzie7511 because unfornatly hubris would imply anyone could be wrong while in china people are expected to trust and be loyal and listen to what ever there superiors say because they MUST be smarter and better then you to be higher than you.
