The way this connects abandoned animatronics to corporate overreach is genuinely sharp analysis. What gets me is how the creepypasta genre became an accidental feedback loop, people sensed Disney's decline before it was explicitly stated in quarterly reports. The Discovery Island section especialy hits because its not hypothetical, thats real infrastructure rotting while new expansions get greenlit. That tension between what Walt envisioned as accessible magic versus todays ticket pricing is prob the most damning metric.
Thank you! Honestly it really felt like it all came together when I started thinking about it… at first I kinda just wanted to speak about the original creepypastas and abandoned places in Disney as a correlation but I’m really glad I decided to go in another direction.
