Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: yosemitemike on May 29, 2024, 06:15:45 PMThe basic reason is simple.  It cost $6,000 or more for a family to stay there for a two day stay that isn't even all-inclusive.  That's way too much for a two day stay at a theme hotel.   

It was more than a theme hotel.

It was a hotel combined with a (poorly thought out) LARP.

Based around the sequels, expensive as fuck too.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Has anyone ever released the internal numbers on the hotel?

I know there were only 100 total rooms. So let's say 5,000 bookings a year.

I'm guessing Disney spent an extra let's say $10 million over and above the cost of building a basic hotel, for the snazzy space decorations and the imagineering behind them.

If they wanted to break even in two years, $10M / 10,000 bookings = $1000 per room just to pay for the public spaces.

That's assuming they ran once a week, they could probably run twice a week if they had the staffing. Normal hotels run seven days a week, but Galactic Starcruiser wasn't normal.

It's early in the morning and I haven't had my coffee, so take these numbers with a grain of salt.
