Are we ever getting a true retro animatronic revival?

Okay I know this gets brought up every few months, but after seeing more locations phase out legacy stages, I have to ask: Is a real PTT/SPP-style revival actually off the table? Not a small display case. Not a single static character. I mean a fully programmed stage show with rotating tracks, lighting cues, and actual show cycles. I get the maintenance costs. I get modernization. But there was something immersive about waiting for the curtains to open. Modern CEC feels cleaner and more arcade-driven. Efficient. Safe. Brighter. But older eras felt theatrical. Would you actually visit a retro-only location if it opened? Or is this just nostalgia talking?

This is a fair point, but I will say Kevin that in the future I think this will be very important to our whole ecosystem here that we have ongoing and I'll just leave it at that. Awesome post on Retro things keep it coming.
