Very nice.

Also, let's not forget the 19 people who voted against expansion :wave: :look:

In my defense, I did clarify that I didn't think they expand because of the surrounding real estate, and I don't think anyone could have predicted they'd do what they're doing. :thumbs: I still hate the idea of changing PF to Chamber of Secrets or Ministry of Magic though.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Disney laying dormant is good news for no one...

LOL Touche!

But I've already plead my case over that weeks ago with Briman and others who openly admitted that rumors on this site aren't always true until confirmed, no matter how strong they seem. I voted WAY too early because i hadn't seen all the evidence that was out there that would have clearly changed my mind if I had. (Side note: I would love to see how many people actually voted for that even AFTER it was announced by universal seeing as the poll is STILL active even months after the official announcement.) To be fair the Poll was pretty close to even when I voted...

ANYWAY, I learned from my mistake and waited to vote on this thread's poll until i saw solid evidence. Hence why I waited until after your permit post today to vote for this one (which i gave you :rep: for by the way right after you posted it... :wave:). These Polls are widely based on RUMORS and i would NEVER pick someone out who has relatively no connection or solid source of inside info because they guessed wrong on a particular rumor they heard on this or any website. By the way, the majority of the people reading this forum have no sources whatsoever, This site IS their source...

Now back to my original point... Perhaps i should have been more clear about the particular poster and situation because it is completely different than my situation. A HUGE Disneyhead (figuratively, not THE Disneyhead) was going around arguing that Universal would not add ANYTHING until at least 3-4 years after Potter 2.0... They're argument was clearly not based off of any evidence except the fact that they didn't WANT Universal to add anything more. They never presented anything to back up their claim otherwise and their demeanor was clearly Disney-sided for paragraphs on end but would finish up with an almost insulting "but I'm not biased or anything" type of statement. I would go back and search my posts to see exactly what was said but the site won't let me search that far back so i'm sorry if I'm inadvertently leaving out some details. I think they just kept talking about how much more money Disney was making or something...

Sorry for the long post but i really like this site because there seems to be a lack of ONE-sided posters like the one I'm referring to and the juvenile Disney vs. Universal wars that follows that you find on other sites. So i thought pointing him/her out might help keep the site that way. I'm a Universal fan but i have ALWAYS respected Disney fans and their opinions. This was more of the reason for me calling/her out, everyone knew they were wrong to begin with anyway.

Oh yes it is. Ever hear what happens when you wake a sleeping giant?

We just have to figure out whether a kiss from the boy who lived is enough to wake one.

Well one, it's bad for our business, but more importantly...

Every company needs healthy competition. Pepsi vs Coke, McD's vs Burger King, & Disney vs Uni.

Do you think Disney one day up and decided it didn't need to try as hard? It comes after years of being the best with little to no effort. Competition is amazing for Orlando. It's what gave us the Universal we have now. It's when Universal and Disney trade blows, that everybody wins. Imagine what Universal would be forced to do if Disney decided to fight back. Sorry, Sea World is trying, but they're no competition for the big guns. If you want bigger and better rides, you need bigger and better competition. They're supposed to push each other to be better. That's when we as theme park fans win.

A rumor from WDWMagic says a Disney announcement might be coming soon as well. Hope it's true.

That's certainly a glass half full way of looking at it.

I hope it is. Imagine what a DCA-makeover would push Orlando to....

As it is the main focal point in the new land, it kind of needed to be.
