They vote with their feet when, after two hours in the morning to do two or three things, everybody leaves DHS and takes their money down the street. I imagine the average expenditure per guest in DHS these days is scaring corporate to death.

In 20 years when both are still enormous, potent franchises, call me! They're both here to stay.

Well that's the thing. The "Expansion" may be through demolishing present attractions, but they are attractions that do not permit guest access in a traditional sense. They take up an ungodly amount of space but don't do anything for capacity. LMAs down to what, two shows a day? And the backlot...

If you think DHS is, by any definition, prospering right now, you probably deserve what TDO is serving you. Come. On. It's a shambles, guests are unhappy, and it's a dead zone outside of two or three attractions like 75% of the time

In spirit, I'm not really saying that, or at least didnt mean to. I said it arguably could have more longevity, more a devils advocate position than anything else. In fact I was hoping to take the stance that both IPs are about as strong as any in existence--making Star Wars pretty much the...

Those Star Wars books are not remotely analogous. Read by a small percentage of diehards and only after coming to the property thru the films.

Because TDO would never do anything that would upset fans? Please. I wonder if they are intentionally trolling us sometimes.

Well according to fine print of that version of the rumor DHS actually ends up with LESS attractions than they have now. Can't be.

DHS has all that space taken up by LMA and the tour, to say nothing of other possible expansion schemes. It is the easiest park to expand and they can handle oodles of additional guests.

No way. Harry Potter will have every bit as much staying power as, say, gee, I don't know, Star Wars, except arguably even more because its in book form and will thus age better than any film.

If it gets the full DCA treatment, maybe they can call it Disney's Apology Studios

Is it really a Cars land? I'm getting the impression from some of our insiders that describing it instead as a Cars ride would be more accurate.

You may be correct that something isn't necessarily wrong financially but the quality of the product IS wrong and needs to be fixed. Future world is 70% a joke.

I hear Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow is being moved and will be the centerpiece attraction at the Fifth Gate

And I'm not doubting the veracity of your personal experience, but 18 year olds who haven't seen Star Wars?! A rare breed.

Because: nothing < one franchise themed land < great attractions that didn't rely upon one film for such a major investment There's no hope of getting the last one and ALL we've been getting is the first one. Something is better than nothing. And Star Wars is a smart, attractive choice if...

Slight brakes might be a good thing. I'm tall, so Space Mountain is...not pleasant. Don't get me wrong; perhaps stupidly, I still always ride SM. Its got flavor, its a landmark and after all, I paid a hundred bucks to get in. But its...not pleasant. Like being placed in a dark barrel and...

I wouldn't doubt the power of the IP. A fully realized Star Wars land is the closest thing TDO is ever going to find to a true Potter swatter, other than waiting a decade for the Potter lands to get old (which I'm sure Disney considers a very appealing plan!). Having said that, although...

There remains a huge demand for Star Wars. The crummy prequels dimmed its legacy, sure, but not by that much. And its across [almost] all generations. I don't know about the youngest of the young---but that's what the new sequels are for.

I don't know but now that this idea is in the water supply beyond sites like these, hopefully it raises expectations. If Disney had, without much fanfare, slightly expanded the area around Star Tours to add an eatery and an Enchanted Tales with Jar Jar, it would be disappointing but, as usual...
