Why not tear down those sound stages for Diagon Alley?
Theres plenty of reasons why it wouldn't work. But I'm going to do some Mathematics so bear me for a minute...Heres that size of the CSI Soundstages combined with Stage 28s plot.
17,603 square ft = 3 Acres
Now take for instance; Diagon Alley, i'm going with the Orlando version on size. This includes Diagon, the London Waterfront and Kings cross.
35,763 square ft = 7 Acres
Now, if you cut Kings cross and remove the Park section of London Waterfront, it does make some difference here.
24,153 square ft = 4 Acres.
Even then; its really not plausible to do Diagon Alley in that area, unless you get rid of Panda Express (which it wont), but if you remove the Stages behind CSI and you'd get:
26,939 square ft = 5 Acres.
Now that being said; it would be in a term; plausible to do Diagon Alley in there but in turn; would have to get rid of those two extra soundstages. That being said; if you cut half of the size of Kidzone, it'd be;
18,794 square ft = 3.8 Acres
Keep in mind that includes the Orlando Animal Actors and Barney theatre which in turn would probably be the amount of space Hollywood could do with just two attractions (as mentioned by Galin a few posts back) but its not without its shortcomings. It is arguably a bit larger than the said 17k square feet and that would bud heads with those two soundstages I mentioned that are behind 22-25. Not to mention; we still have the problem on the fire-lane, and that's going to be hell to re-work within the future of the lower lot.
For now, i'm going to leave it at this. Nintendo will be able to work without removing extra soundstages if you do half of the Kidzone size. But Diagon can't unless you trim out those other soundstages.
If i'm wrong about something; I could adjust it a slight bit but I tried it the best I could.
