If it works that well I see no reason to get rid of Star Tours then.

So does this mean star tours is safe?

The ride system is...
That's not intentional, nor the plan.
As it stands all current expansion is within existing boundaries.
I envisage "tunnels" into the land from both ends to hide the theming from outside and to give a big theatrical reveal. Plenty of stores and expanded individual make your own sabre / droid stores in "village" style courtyard areas. At least two eateries, themed to familiar locations. One quick and one table service. And the two main attractions. Falcon having multiple indentical rides to boost capacity, and the main one having the mother of all queue areas, both inside and out.
I also imagine given the differences in location between Anaheim and Orlando, any expansion will be to the north as opposed the east.

Martin -- thank you so much for the information you share. A quick question from this rendering -- is there going to be an entrance to the land from the "backside" of the Muppets? That is, the area where the Premiere Theater used to be. Would think that would be helpful for guest flow (both for Star Wars and the Muppets) but it doesn't seem that way from your image.

Hmmm, so by the "north", that would seem to me that any expansion would be next to Toy Story Land (between that and World Dr). Not what I would expect, but interesting.
You're welcome. I do what I can when I can.
As far as I'm aware there won't be a "backside" entrance and the current Muppet area with be within a self contained courtyard with a wall between MV3D exit and Mama Melrose.
Expansion is envisaged mainly between what will open in 2019 and the south end of the GMR show building. SWL as being built won't extend all the way north to the GMR building. Probably.

Given that, then . . . this?
No, Toy Story would rotate more towards bottom left so it is behind the TSMM building.

I thought that's what I did . . . or that's what I meant it to be, anyway. The blue and red boxes are the entrance to TSMM,
I thought, so I curled the art around the back of the building to represent that. I suppose I could push the path
further left. But the perspectives are all whacked anyway . . .
I did line up the SW column in the upper left of the TS render to match, then warped it.

That leaves a sizable plot of land in between Star Wars and Toy Story. Around where Catastrophe Canyon is. Will that be large backstage area or is it room for another attraction (Star Wars expansion or otherwise)?

I'm guessing that is show building and backstage . . .

Interesting. So, basically the plot for the HISTK playground and Studio Catering Co would be where said expansion pad is.
Also, I like that you slipped that "2019" in there -- sounds like you are a little more optimistic about the timeframe for Star Wars opening than others who have suggested 2020 or later.

In between TSL and Star Wars? I don't see it, as they will be basically right next to each other. I do agree that it potentially leaves a sizeable plot of land around Catastrophe Canyon (as well as the triangular undeveloped land outside the current park limit but inside the current toll gate road) which could be used for the mysterious Phase 3 if it is coming. That land would be on the far side of Star Wars from TSL.
I'd hazard a guess and say yes.
