I wonder what would happen if .....

You seem to forget the process of building it all at once. If each building were to be built at the same time with a well defined sequence of building specialties all could be built in the 3 year target. If you can build one attraction in 3 years then expanding the work force to the degree that enables all to be built at the same time, all will be done in 3 years. That's what they did with EPCOT and except for the cost of the additional labor it's all one big project staffed accordingly.

Let me once again state that I don't believe they would ever do that, but that doesn't mean that if they throw enough money at it and have tight planning, it can't be done. Just not likely to be attempted.

Where are you getting the staffing from? Rise of the Resistance is credibly rumored to have cost $200 million to build, you add in inflation of 10%, multiply that by 20 attractions and you're looking at $500,000,000,000. Disney does not have the money to do that in a three year span, not even factoring in the actual cost to purchase the land, grease the politician's palms and the exponential cost increase of labor trying to do that many large projects at once.

I think the hit on restaurants and hotels would be less than some here figure just because of how many people go all in on the Disney Bubble. I think Orlando would hurt for a while and then stabalize, there are still other things going on in town and MCO is the gateway to all in central, eastern and northern FL.

They would not build a park full of Rise of the Resistance level attractions. Most attractions cost nowhere near $200M to build.

And 20 attractions is very ambitious for a new park.

Look the whole topic is just a little fun speculation. But they have some pretty high value in property there complete with many building, streets and utilities. The cost of 200,000,000 to build the attraction includes creating and engineering which is already done so most of that cost would just be moving the blueprints to wherever. Just what they get from that could give them a few bucks to cover a few things, plus a lot of it wouldn't have to be imagined, designed and re-engineered. Then you get the settlement from the state when you claim you have to leave because of a hostile government. Also the Disney parks have a 27,000,000,000 gross profit per year, plus stock to sell and an excellent credit rating. They could get the money.

The speculation can go many directions when you are just brain storming stuff. We all know it isn't going to happen. The only reason that MCO is the gateway to central Florida is because of the presence of Disney. Universal will be the primary destination but if Disney were to move to a more friendly place, the guests would go with them. The only way they wouldn't is if they just shut it down completely, wiped their hands clean of the place the started to concentrate on the other parks. That, of course, wouldn't happen either. From that movie... build it and they will come. If they decided to move they would probably take most of the 58 million guests with them, leaving the Orlando area a lot smaller population. Most of the staff would probably follow too. When WDW opened they didn't have 75,000 people they just showed up looking for a job.

It seems important to again say... this is all fun speculation and no one is expecting them to seriously consider such a thing. The shareholders wouldn't be very happy, but they've been upset before, nothing new!

I wonder if the new proposed prison will have any Castle view rooms?

It is almost to the point where it doesn't seem that far-fetched!

This thing is getting U G L Y!!!!!!

When folks show up inappropriately dressed, the CMs can point at the prison and offer them Orange jumpsuits with a Mickey logo for the cheap price of $250, or they can return to their room to change.

My DH and I talk about this once in a while as we live in the Horizon West area on a Lake where we can see the fireworks from all the parks every night. Location. Is everything and although we are planning on keeping this house for the long term, if the parks were to ever close, we might reconsider options.

Maybe it will be on the monorail line for when they're out on good behavior!

I feel like we need to resurrect Johnny Cash for the theme song in that case.

Yeah..I can hear a song with Kissimmee county prison in it for sure with a Johnny Cash vibe
