Now, as for American Idol and Indy... AI has been on the "going to close it" list for some time. That's definitely nothing new. However, if Indy does end up closing to make room for a Star Wars re-theming of the park, I would say this is a good thing. Not because I didn't like Indy... I did. BUT, HS and Epcot really don't need expansions, they need to be reworked. For Epcot, there are existing unused buildings that could really stand to have something new/fresh put in. Hollywood Studios just needs to be updated. Re-purposing space for a Star Wars themed area seems to be a no-brainer. I think most everyone expects JJ Abrams to really do a good job with these movies. If Disney could get two major revisions/expansions open within a couple years of each others it would really take some of the wind out of the sails of Universal, who seems to have a stranglehold of contemporary pop culture franchises right now. Could really redefine how Disney will behave moving forward.
For those few that have said this will "crush Harry Potter at Universal." That's adorable, but it won't. The Harry Potter stuff is amazing and deserves the credit due it. There is plenty of room for both Disney and Universal in Orlando. Everyone from all over the world is willing to fly into MCO. They'll both continue to grow and do well in the foreseeable future.
