Considering he musical is very loosely based on the books, I imagine they'll pick and choose just pieces to build a new story on (Glinda and Elphaba's friendship is like 2 chapters in the book).

Yes, the authors of the musical have expressed they hope to do additional projects in the same universe.

One of the things about outdoor rides is they do add kinetic energy to the land - especially at Berk where there's the coaster zipping by and the flyers appearing over the buildings. One of the things people complain about Galaxy's Edge is it feels empty

MK is closer t0 85k (they actually hit 80k once). And tell me what theme park worries about comfortable capacity? Certainly not Disney or Universal. They are looking for $$$

The theoretic limit is twice that

As the park expands many of those issues will disappear (for example there will be a who;e new land - or 2 - between Stardust and Potter). Like when the MK opened and the corner by TLT and the castle had a huge blank cement wall which is now hidden by trees, shrubbery and a berm.

Judging by wait times, the crowds hit today.

Full is much higher than that

The tunnels run under there and are used by support (i.e. cargos, cargo, employees walking, break room)

Except it has more animatronics than Disney puts in theirs nowadays (plus I feel Victoria's movements were way more realistic than Tiana's flailing about - lol)

Monsters is definitely a star attraction.

No it wasn't Part was the USF parking lot and part was originally slated for a mall till Universal purchased it

It was never just a pass holder preview. Right off the bat there were military, hotel guests and visa card holders. And they didn't even sell all of those. Just because they said they had a block of tickets reserved for pass holders didn't mean all the tickets were. Capacity is still capped at...

Remember its also not really filling to capacity - Universal is capping the attendance much for for a few months to keep crowds down

Look at "Alien Encounter" - originally proposed for Disneyland. It failed here because the Magic Kingdom is considered "a kiddie park" by most guests
