5th Park Opening in Time for WDW's 50th (Jim Hill)

New park..

Honestly this would not be a bad idea at all. Many people put Harry Potter and Star Wars on the same level (I'm not one of those people...Star Wars blows HP out of the water...but thats just my opinion)

But I personally know people who are big HP fans and flocked to Universal for the sole purpose of visiting WWoHP.

Let's take a look at Star Wars conventions all over the country - that plenty of fans flock to. A whole Star Wars land...better yet, park? They'd be cramming to get there. And if the park held special Star Wars event (think Star Wars weekends - every day!) then people would continue to travel down to visit. I think a Star Wars land at DHS would be better suited for Disney so that money can be placed elsewhere.

BUT if we're making personal wishes - I want a Villain Park - Villain Village, please. Hell, I'll take a Villain land!

Well I'd take any new park, I know some SW fans who would be over the moon (so to speak) about it, and having been and still am a geek, I'd love it. I can see some of the areas, Luke Skywalkers home planet, the ewok and wookie planets, it is do-able, especially if they can get Spielberg and his studio involved.

While I am indifferent as to if they clone Carsland for DHS, I think we can expect something happening there pretty soon. They cannot be pleased that attendance apparently dropped behind AK last year. That will only get worse as the years go on, I would assume. And no, I don't think an updated Star Tours and Fantasmic every night will get those numbers back up. I think management has to be facing the fact that the park is growing stale and needs something - and something sooner, rather than later...

Ya I agree with this. I think HS dropping behind AK( the runt of the litter we all know that even as much as I hate to say it because I love that park) in attendance was an eye opener for the suits. Something will be coming. Especially if it is behind AK in attendance again.

Say, hypothetically, this were to happen, how soon would they need to announce another ark to have it ready by the 50th?

Well, theoretically God gave Noah 98 years to build the ark. So I think Disney would have to push the timetable a bit.

With today's internet it isn't like they could hide the construction...

They'd be discovered the moment the first shovel hit the ground.

I really think the reason DHS was behind DAK in 2010 was because of Fantasmic. The downtime for Star Tours probably didn't help much, but that was only a few months.

They're building an ark? I thought Joe Rohde's comment regarding an Ark as the symbol of the Animal Kingdom, "Our guest's first view of our park will be seeing a bunch of animal butts?" put an end to that possibility...
