I'm not sure it's new either but perhaps the degree at which it's being used and maybe the notoriety around it may be new. Plus I think it can also seem worse when you look at the profitability of a company even if the extreme profit isn't in the Parks department. We know there is still profit in the parks department but that's likely in part to a combination of higher prices for tickets, merchandise and food and staffing even when there is a reduction in guest attendance. All JMO of course.
*I know the adjustment in divisions will change the numbers though from now on so past measures won't be as useful.
I'm all for calling attention to it. I don't like the practice. When a ride should be 20 minutes at best, but it's 40 because they couldn't bring in 3 extra cast members. It's a bad look. And it's so very noticeable to all the guests.
