00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.039
and as always for the news roundup, I'm passing it

9
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:37.719
off to Darryl.

10
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.520
Starting off with a brief message from Philip Bernandez, publisher

11
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.719
of the Haunted Attraction Network. The retail side of Halloween

12
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.600
keeps creeping earlier, as Home Depot dropped its twenty twenty

13
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.119
six Halloween lineup this week. No word on Pumpkin spice

14
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.240
from Starbucks yet, though bailed season is picking up as

15
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.280
Haunts begins staffing up for fall production. The East Coast

16
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.200
Haunters Convention is less than two weeks out, returning to

17
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.439

employees across marketing, awards and publicity this week as part

25
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.239
of its ongoing reorganization. Disney's digital bets have been hitting walls,

26
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.879
from its shuttered Open Ai partnership to Epic Games, cutting

27
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.560
twenty percent of its workforce. While Experiences just posted ten

28
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.799
billion in quarterly revenue with six percent growth, Physical is winning.

29
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.840
We break down what that pattern means for the broader

30
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:56.359
attraction industry on this week's Insights the Green Tag Podcast.

31
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.599

00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.079
disneylay's off one thousand and theme parks are untouched. Disney

90
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.399
from Burbank, California, is laying off one thousand employees as

91
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.720
part of its ongoing reorganization. The cut hits marketing, awards

92
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:03.040
and publicity departments across films, streaming, television and cable, mark operations,

93
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.319
and live entertainment are not affected. The layoffs follow a

94
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.839
string of setbacks in Disney's digital strategy. The company's partnership

95
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.120
with Open Ai and the Sora Ai video tool was

96
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.839
shut down before closing, ending at one billion dollar investment.

97
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.399
Epic Games, where Disney invested one point five billion in

98
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.600
twenty twenty four to build a persistent entertainment universe, laid

99
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.279
off twenty percent of its workforce and blamed a slump

100
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.800
in Fortnite players. Gaming broadly is contracting with Sony, raising

101
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.399
the PlayStation five price by one hundred dollars, and Nintendo

102
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.879
reportedly cutting switched to production by a third week after

103
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.240
holiday sales. Experiences meanwhile posted ten billion dollars in quarterly

104
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.439
revenue with six percent growth. This week's Green Tagged Insights

105
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.360
podcast looks at how Disney's reorganization fits into a larger

106
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.720
industry pattern where physical experiences are becoming the competitive mote

107
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.519
and digital is serving the parks rather than the other

108
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.319
way around. The analysis also covered Miao Wolf's new CEO

109
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.639
hire from Media and Tech, and how Europa Park is

110
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.000
using curator partnerships and original IP programming to extend its

111
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.279
physical experiences to new audiences. Dorney Park has sued for

112
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.839
negligent hiring tied to an employee of self case. The

113
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.519
law firm Andreosian Foot has filed a civil lawsuit against

114
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:28.000
Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Cedar Fair LP,

115
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.600
and Six Flags Entertainment Corporation following the sexual assault of

116
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.600
a minor by a park employee. The suit alleges that

117
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.439
the defendants failed to implement appropriate safeguards to protect minor

118
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.439
guests from a predatory employee. In September twenty twenty one,

119
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.639
an unnamed fifteen year old girl visited Dorney Park's Halloween Haunt,

120
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.519
where she encountered the twenty two year old employee, Anthony Cassio.

121
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:56.519
Cassio allegedly inappropriately touched the victim on multiple occasions, ultimately

122
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.279
meeting the victim in a hotel room where he became

123
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.120
aggressive sexually assaulted her. Cassio has pled guilty to fellow

124
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.920
any charges of statutory sexual assault and corruption of miners,

125
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.600
and has been classified as a sexually violent predator. The

126
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.120
lawsuit against Dorney Park and its parent companies asserts claims

127
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:19.399
for negligence, negligent hiring, and negligence supervision and retention. According

128
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.800
to the lawsuit, Cassio has a known and documented history

129
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.879
of sexual misconduct, including a prior charge for sexual assault.

130
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.519
Despite this history, he was hired at the park and

131
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.680
placed in a position that allowed him to work in

132
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.960
close proximity to miners. These allegations raised serious concerns about

133
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.200
how individuals with known histories of misconduct are placed in

134
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.519
positions around children, said Veronica Hubbard partner and Driosian Foot

135
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.960
in up press release. Businesses that invite families into their

136
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:51.200
property have the responsibility to take meaningful steps to protect miners.

137
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.679
When they don't enforce necessary protections, the consequences can be devastating.

138
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.399
Dorney Park is not commented in the lawsuit, with a

139
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.039
spokesperson stating its own our policy not to comment on

140
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.519
pending litigation. Disney patents a system to predict when you'll overheat.

141
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.320
Disney Enterprises in Burbank, California has filed a pattern for

142
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.840
a systems that predicts when the individual theme park guess

143
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:19.120
will cross environmental exposure thresholds and automatically adjust their itinerary

144
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:23.000
to avoid them. The system combines local weather sensors, personal

145
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.039
health and tolerance data, and regional forecasts to generate personalized

146
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:31.120
mitigation responses, such as reordering a guest day or scheduling

147
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.799
indoor breaks before a predicted threshold is crossed. There's no

148
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.240
timeline for rollout, but it signals where Disney is investing

149
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.320
R and D as summer heat becomes an increasingly serious

150
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.080
operational challenge. It could also function as a crowd management tool,

151
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.759
throading guests towards specific attractions or F and B locations.

152
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.360
The practical question is adoption. The system depends on guests

153
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.120
opting in and sharing biometric data, and in most family groups,

154
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.840
the person managing the app isn't the most vulnerable member.

155
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:04.360
Hunter's Toolbox presents the secrets of Spooky World. Hunters Toolboxes

156
