I have to make a confession.
While watching over my SimTheme Park the other day, I found myself consumed with Eisner-itis. I found that by compromising the park's happiness I could make tons more money. I sky-rocketed the prices of the gift shops, drink shops and burger joints. Then I made the rides shorter in length and less advanced so that the visitors would spend more time walking around and buying stuff and less time on rides. I also got rid of unpopular rides, regardless of age because they weren't cost-effective to have around. I found that since I had noone to answer to, the adjustments were easy.
Spending time in his shoes for a little while made it clear why it is so easy for Mike to mess up Disneyland. Eisner needs to answer to somebody. Maybe Disneyland needs a new unbiased Board of Directors.
