Universal uses a different formula for their Potter lands than Disney has used for their new lands. If anything, GESWL having issues just reaffirms Universal's way of immersing guests in their new lands. For FW, I'd guess Universal will stay with the formula of familiar surroundings, plenty of entertainment, non smartphone interactivity, and immersion, good choices for merch./food/beverage, affordable experiences, no reservations...ie. spending on those 'little things' that make the totality of the experience 'big', and repeatable...instead of blowing the budget on hundreds of millions for rock work, and having essentially no entertainment.
