I would hope so, because that's close enough to CityWalk, parking, and the hotel areas while still having room for a decent sized park with room for expansion.
Also, while a video game theme park still sounds interesting and like a logical progression from Universal Studios (a mostly movie based park) and Islands of Adventure (a mostly literature based park), I still wonder how much draw a video game theme park would have. I'm assuming there will be large focuses on series like Mario and Pokemon, and that will certainly help, but will stuff like Zelda and Warcraft have huge draw either?

Even Robert Niles (TPI) knocked down the validity of this rumor today. And he rarely addresses rumors.
Part of this is owned by Orlando for the Ultimate I-4 project, no?
Yeah, that's another reason I see a video game park as unlikely. There's plenty of room for multiple attractions based off all of Nintendo's biggest properties in KZ, MIB/Simpsons plot. KZ alone could have Phase 1 with Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule, and MIB could have a Phase 2 with more Mushroom Kingdom and could add Pokemon or Donkey Kong. That's plenty of room.As the Future thread has been crushed yet again by that horrible Briman guy I will post this here.
I used a google maps acreage tool today and came up with this for everyones perspective.
KZ plus AA and pink dino area: 7+ acres.
Next to MIB: 9+ acres.
KONG: 2+ acres.
Isn't that something?
That's true. That gives them time to fill up the rest of their current parks (replacing some of the outdated attractions at USF, big Nintendo attractions over KidZone, expanding some IOA islands, probably replacing LC and TL soon too) before they break ground on a big third gate.If they want a third gate, we'll get one, somehow, some way. It won't happen for at least a decade though. At minimum. Still at least 5 years of projects in the pipeline, and as many have pointed out, it'll require chess pieces being in the right place -- not to mention all the requisite infrastructure build outs and upgrades.
