Happy wife, happy life. I can’t imagine the ladies being happy with that setup in their $2k+ a night hotel room.
I thought of the same thing.
Put your illegal aliens in there.
It’s not my cup of tea — not at 1/10th the price — but check out the nearly unanimous five-star Google reviews. The people who did stay there really loved the experience.
My wife would have ejected me out of the space trash chute before disembarking.
Yeah, but they all looked like this.
There were plenty of 1-star reviews too complaining about the size of the rooms, the food, too many missions, and the fact that you don’t even get access to the full park after paying more than five grand.
The $250 million was sunk cost, i.e., the cost of building the thing. Not counting the sunk cost, I wonder what it would cost to operate?
I would think that they could earn enough income to more than cover the operating costs at a substantially lower room rate. That would be better than writing it off entirely.
I wish someone would make genuinely funny movies like Airplane
or police squad again, even beverly hills cop
Or they demolish the thing and build a new ride or a hotel that will bring in more revenue, faster. Companies of this size are pretty cutthroat about decisions like this.
I’d be loading up on Soap and Towels!
Apparently, Paramount practically begged Abrahams/Zucker/Zucker to make a sequel of Airplane! but they refused. But the studio made one anyway and Jim, David, and Jerry claim they have never watched the sequel.
LOL, even dorks and nerds have their natural rights to be amused.
“you don’t even get access to the full park after paying more than five grand.”
That is hilarious—if you want your customers to pay like royalty you better treat them like royalty.
“why close it down?”
Operating a property comes with certain fixed costs you can’t get rid off. Gotta keep it heated, gotta pay the staff, gotta pay for cleaning, garbage service, exterminators, etc. If those costs you have to pay every month are more than the income you are bringing in, then you are losing money as long as you operate it.
And just lowering the cost probably wouldn’t work. The big mistake is Disney killed off most peoples’ interest in the IP of Star Wars by making horrible movies out of it. So there’s no demand anymore to stay in a Star Wars-themed hotel even if they cut the price in half.
I would probably just hang out at the Mos Eisley Cantina all day anyway.
Just go to any bar in DC, it's the same thing.
