So now we want movie/character tie ins? The Harry Potter tie in will be significant for a while, but the long term effects will be the quality of the attraction, not the quality of the tie in. The best attractions aren't the ones with the strongest movie/character/franchise tie in, but the best overall quality. See: Splash Mountain.
I have agree with the disagreement of certain lands based off of "hot at the time" trends in entertainment. I remember that a local amusement park (once owned by Paramount but since sold off) once had an entire section devoted to "Wayne's World". As we all know, that fad wore off rather quickly and within just a few years, that section of the park was sadly dated. Some of the attractions right now are still named off of that movie. Universal and Disney should definitely take note of that before naming new park sections after the flavor of the month.
