With the announcements of Star Wars, Toy Story,is Disney done with Single E tickets? Whats wrong with just making Single thrilling attractions? It will still draw guest and take a lot less time in construction. Does it really take 3-4 years to build a carnival like ride and an outdoor family coaster for Toy Story? No it doesn't but having it spread acres with themed gift shops and restaurants is the reason it takes such a long time. Star Wars/Avatar do however seem worth the time because they will be similar to Harry Potter and actually have E Ticket Attractions.
Just wanted to state my opinion
The joint Toy Story/Star Wars announcements make sense. If they just did Toy Story Land, then I'd say 'why is Disney adding MORE little kid attractions when their competitors are offering more and more older kid/adult attractions?' BUT, in committing to a Star Wars themed land, they are now treading more into that Universal Studios territory. And you can bet that a Marvel-themed land is next on their plate. Hollywood Studios is in dire need of a makeover. Ever since my first visit there in 2011, I've thought it was the most cramped and poorly laid out park at Disney. While some of the things there have their charms, others can be easily replaced.
Now, if you ask me, the more puzzling question is why an Avatar Land? It was a successful movie, but that was YEARS ago, and to me it doesn't really have any staying power. That could become the next generation's Captain EO, but on a grander scale.
