    I’m so sad I never got to visit because the advertisements make it seem so neat! A hotel, themed liked Star Wars! Actors! Space stuff! Story!

    But for those prices, my extremely broke ass was never going. Maybe at the prices she said they should be I could have saved very slowly, or gotten lucky with discounts, but no.

    Also if it had just stopped working like everything did for Jenny? At those prices??? Miserable, horrible!

    It’s such a train wreck, and it must have been obvious to a lot of the people working on it that it was going to be a train wreck.

    I can really only imagine that this was the product of a corporate yes-man culture, where critical voices get sidelined or eliminated and the solution to every problem is to just throw money at it (but not too much money, just enough to make it look passable).

      Having worked with a bunch of egotistical rich folks (of which there are so many and you won’t see them on the news), they see this as research. I used to believe in fighting to do the right thing, but they aren’t going to have it. I see a trainwreck and rich CEO is going to push it no matter what. All I can do is brace for impact, ride the wave, keep people employed and take the money, all while knowing it will fail.

      Heck, you see it all the time. The VR worlds, the tone-deaf games, the hardware nobody asked for, the shitty movies.

    I only got 1.5 hours into this, and holy shit it’s a mess. I can’t imagine spending that kind of money on something like that.

      She talks about the reason. It’s impossible for them to either open as a “regular” hotel, drop price or increase the number of rooms. It was made specifically with this experience type of stay, it’s in the middle of nowhere, etc.

    Finished the video a good indictment of Disney and good call-out to the sustainable ongoing french space hotel. I guess that is where I need to go for this experience

      The one in Futuroscope? I’ve been hearing about that place since I was a kid but still didn’t go, and now probably best to wait a few years until the kid can actually take it in.
