what exactly makes you think they can't rework these backstage facilites and rework access roads? IOA needs as much expansion as it can get so I definitely can see Comcast putting up extra cash to open up the area for LC. The Wonka concept was supposed to have a Soarin'-esque Glass Elevator ride, a POTC-esque boat ride and a parachute drop within the LC area. This would likely mean they'd have to use some of the backstage area. Not to mention that the backstage part looked as used as the plot by Thunder Falls.
There's options for First Aid and other facilities to be relocated in order to make Lost Continent a 3 attraction land again. Plus a flat ride along with converting PF to a boat ride wouldn't take up too much extra space to begin with so the interference would be minor
I dont think you realize the implications of what youre proposing. There is very little wasted space backstage...packing up everything behind LC and re-planting it is easier said than done, because theres already a place for everything with few places to add onto.
Furthermore, as the resort grows, so will the infrastructure, meaning they will need to increase the capacity of backstage as it is. To move everything on top of that wouldnt make much sense.
Its not going to happen. Everything backstage has a specific place and not much room to move around. They arent going to mess with it when they have plenty of space to work with by simply replacing whats already there.
