More of a "when", than an "if".

And more of a nibble at existing lands than more real estate, though I may be wrong. Perish the thought.
That does seem to be there specialty.
Yeah the surroundings look great but they have kinda ripped people off a bit when really all there is is ONE new ride!

An expansion will happen. It's too big for them not to do it. As for when though...that's the question everyone wants answered. My guess would be that we may see them break ground on new construction next year...and see an expansion area open somewhere between 2013-2014. That's just my guess of course.
What I'm really wondering more about is when will we see the exit of Marvel from IOA...

The current area is quite small. It makes sense for them to do it. I really wish they made HPATFJ more tame though ,especially if they are thinking of adding another roller coaster in that section. That ride could have been AMAZING, but instead I found it way too fast paced and jerky.

I completly agree. Even though it is a great ride idea and all, i really believe they copped out on HPATFJ. Every ride on their property is just like that (ie. Jimmy Neutron, Shrek, Simpsons, Spiderman) When i came off the ride i was just about sick because it was too jerky and wild.

Everybody has different opinions. I personally find it very smooth and very easy to ride. It's nothing like a coaster like Hulk or the Dragons.
From what I've heard, while there could be an indoor style coaster made in the expansion, something more slower paced for everyone to ride could be in the works. Makes sense.

You can always guarantee fan boys talking bollocks on any Universal thread. Theres nothing jerky with nostalgia and dust however.

Unlucky for you! Been there, done that, HATED IT!!!
Must just be coincidence we're going on the same day.
There always seems to be a flight from MAN around same time as GLA. That you?
Not attending any events, purely a social visit!

Honestly, the only thing that Universal has that will ever make me visit is Harry Potter. I'd love for an expansion before i try to make a visit.

I would love for any change to happen to that shell of a formerly great attraction Poseidon's Fury. I hadn't been on it in a few years and when I took some friends on it I had to apologize to them. "I swear it used to be an amazing thing" I kept telling them. What happened to that attraction?
Also looking at the map. Once Potter takes over Sinbad there is space to expand behind the stunt show between that and twister. From what I know really only sound stage 21 and 22 is used for the TNA Wrestling taping the others could be torn down for another ride or attraction.
