BobO- I agree that Disney maybe dropping the ball somewhat on the new rides, but I just don't feel it to the extent you do. Space needs to be a good one for me to keep that opinion.
As I've said before, I don't care who pays for the attraction. If Disney can get a sponser to pay for an attraction, they'd be insane to refuse and insist on paying themselves. But they do need to be ready to pony up if sponsers decide against spending that kind of money. I know that Disney is having a bit of a problem with this right now, but these sponsorships are really advertising costs for the sponsers, and we know that ad-spending has been down for awhile now. I don't mind if Disney waits 6 months to a year for that to turn around. No sense throwing money out the window that you can get somebody else to provide next year.
I would also disagree to the greatest extent that they have 4 incomplete parks at WDW. MK could use a tweak, but is hardly incomplete. Same with Epcot. MGM needs a little more, but again, incomplete is an unfair description. There is enough to get one's "money's worth."
AK is a somewhat different story, but I suspect that unless the feel of this park is completey scrapped, there will always be those who consider it incomplete.
