Actually...it is true. The station is where it is because of routing. The idea was to bring more local money to orlando.

I never stated my opinion. I am repeating what I've read from Newspapers and business journals from South Florida. Personally, my opinion is more in line with @wm49rs, but there is potential if they do it right.
That station will serve tourists flying in to Orlando and take them directly to downtown Miami. I would rather drive to WDW than take an AAF train because I will still have to pay Uber for a ridiculous taxi rate to get there from OIA.

Then you also missed the part of there being proposed Disney transportation to and from the station.

The parks at West Edmonton Mall and Mall of America are little diversions, not significant draws in their own right.
Correct. But the developer is planning to build on that experience and make the theme park elements less of a divergence and more of a headliner.
What about to the I-Drive area? And will the Disney transportation pick up AAF passengers, or just those who flew in?

Now youre just making "facts" up. That is not mentioned anywhere, not even in the source article you yourself posted. I'm done replying to this obvious call for attention. You obviously have little knowledge of this topic you yourself brought up.
I don't only urge this thread to be moved, but CLOSED as well.

Nobody promises mediocrity.
No, this was what was said in a previous article I read. I will provide the link. Give me some time to find it.
How is it mediocrity? It will be world-class and one of a kind.

Well, one of a kind in the sense that there is another in Alberta, Minnesota and maybe some day New Jersey...
The amusements parks would be the mediocrity.
For those first joining us...
The company that owns and runs the largest mall in America wants to build an even bigger one in northwestern Miami-Dade, a roughly 200-acre entertainment complex with submarines, a Legoland, sea lions and an artificial ski slope.
Backed by the owner of Minnesota’s Mall of America, American Dream Miami is proposed for land at the intersection of Florida’s Turnpike and Interstate 75 near Miami Lakes. It’s projected to cost as much as $4 billion to build and employ 25,000 people once opened, more than enough to give it Miami-Dade’s largest private-sector payroll.
It also would bring the largest mall in the United States to what’s now pastureland in Miami’s congested suburbs, using vacant real estate flanked by two of the region’s busiest highways.

So we won't see marketing material in the Orlando Metro area for this? Like in those brochure things in every hotel in town?

Renderings do not make a project, especially since these are hardly based on a final design that will be built. They also ignore that malls tend to NOT operate their internal businesses. It's just stuff they'd like to get signed on.
