This is interesting especially since there is now a band Wagon on the "it's most likely going to happen" idea. Heck, I didn't even use the dirty word and I mentioned this back in March. How do you know who my source is and what they do? For all you know I could be related to Dan Cockerell.
Because important people don't leak rumors to cast members, their friends, their dogs, or brothers fathers sisters former roommates.
That's pretty "right to it", huh?
And I know there are multiple sources throwing it out there...but not business/entertainment big names at this point.
The idea is gaining momentum and I sure hope that we see a big Star Wars expansion...BUT...we have steamrolled past one "minor" detail:
Money...as in a Star Wars land AND a cars clone is gonna cost well over a billion dollars...and that's not just new rides and shops...MGM would need a fundamental infrastructure change...perhaps new roadways, lots or more likely parking decks.
It is a small park as currently stands and will not be able to handle these "confirmed" rumors.
What this would represent is the budget of a new park.
Officially I'd love to see it... But let's not assume "Carsland and Star Wars land coming in couple of years"
That would be a break from form in Orlando and These "big things" could be way smaller.
Somebody get josh on the phone and see if he can head over there and take a look...STAT!!!
