There's even a construction crane back there. Is this theater being enclosed for some future show? Kind of like they enclosed the AK Theater in the Wild? Does anyone have info on this?

I wouldn't be horribly surprised if Aladdin from DCA moved over there after it ended its run in California. (Although I haven't heard of it closing any time soon, or plans to do anything with it once it's done at DLR)

And if you look closely at the construction of the hunchback theater, there are already walls on the inside.
