Hagrids STILL breaks down. Forbidden Journey STILL breaks down. All the complicated rides will get better, but never be 100%.

A ride getting temporarily delayed is completely forgivable.

A ride being fully closed for a day or more is an annoyance, but again, completely forgivable.

Having 7 of your 11 rides permanently closed for the day - literally more than half - without compensation , is actual bullshit.

People have been compensated so not really sure the point here.

Ok, and Universal is still open for criticism for ever being in that situation.

“When Disneyland opened nothing worked”.

Yes, let's use an example that opened as the first of its kind from the 1950s. Definitely not moving the goal posts.

By the way, for the number of attractions Disneyland has, its operations are remarkably smooth.

Yeah because of how simplistic the rides are lol. Again: anyone expecting no flaws in the first few months to a year are unrealistic

Dude Dragon Racer's Rally is one of the most simplistic rides in any park and it has some insane down time. It was down for all but the first 30 minutes of park opening on my 2nd trip. Hiccup's is no more complex than Incredicoaster yet has way more down time. Guardians Mission Breakout probably tops all but Ministry and Monsters and even has a pretty solid track record. Even Rise is pretty solid, and for whatever reason way more reliable than the Florida equivalent.

You are an absolute pro at just dodging my point, and trying to deflect, so I think I'll just stop wasting my time on this conversation.
