Ok.

This topic has come up many times, so I'm posting a poll just to get an objective count of what everyone thinks.

Here's my perspective. While a Coaster/Thrill park would be fun and may even compete more head to head with IOA and the like, I honestly believe that it would, it the long run, cut into Disney's differentiation.

Disney more-or-less DEFINED the theme park concept. I know there were other parks before Disney, but the growth of the industry in the 70s, 80s & 90s was very clearly a direct result of Disney.

I think Disney being a "me too" company would be bad.
