In earlier decades, it was normal practice for Walt to announce new attractions ahead of those still under construction. Disney of today has tapered off from announcing new attractions ahead, in the game. As The Walt Disney Co. is very much a business 'reactionary' to competition (Look to WDW's recent history to Uni Florida, for proof, like Disney signing a contract with Cameron/Avatar, to Uni's contract with JK Rowling/Potter) ........... Is it possible, this could put Disney in the position to make an announcement for Disneyland's next major attraction, to try to deflate Universal's big announcement for a clone of the Harry Potter land in Universal Florida? We know Disney is being extremely tight lipped on anything beyond Carsland opening mid next year. They have said nothing about a rumored REVAMP of TOMORROWLAND. They have said nothing on EXPANDING FRONTIERLAND beyond the berm. Those are the two big KAHUNAS to pay attention to. (One, or the other) I'm not sure .... but I got a feeling this announcement for a Harry Potter addition to Uni Hollywood .... will accelerate Disney into announcing Disneyland's next MAJOR project sooner than later. What do you think?????
