Thoughts about the delay

After getting over the immediate disappointment of the delay, it is time to figure out how I really feel about this. After much pondering (yeah, pondering), I have decided that it is for the best for the following reasons:

1. Traffic: Without the train station and any other traffic easers ready, getting there would be an absolute nightmare, especially during home games of the World Champion New York Football Giants. Oh, the Jets play there too. Anyway, it would be impossible to get to Xanadu for a day trip. You'd get there and it would be time to leave.
2. Major Attractions: I want to wait for most of the attractions to be near ready on the grand opening day. It wouldn't be really cool to go and not have the snow dome ready (get it? not funny? whatever, I don't care if you like my jokes anyway). I do expect them to stagger the openings so there can be multiple grand openings, thats just good business, but to have an opening in a construction site would not be a good idea. Since there is a delay, I have to assume that the attractions are taking longer than expected due to complexity and awesomeness.
3. The Economy: I guess I can see the point about stores being hesitant, however, I think Xanadu will have a certain immunity to economic downturns. With its proximity to NYC and its having its own hotel, I imagine that foreign tourists will take advantage of the currency exchange and visit when the US is struggling. But for the grand opening, I'd prefer locals and die hards to be the majority of the people there, not dirty, elitist foreigners.
   

Overall, I have to say that the delay is for the best. We all knew that there was no way it would be ready by November deep down didn't we. Also, I'm always hoping for a new major attraction.
