Here's the thing though, why would I lower my expectations now, especially when Hollywood has constantly shown the better end of the stick in quite a few factors.
Despicable Me:
- A grander and more flexed out facade, including the neighborhood & Mr's. Cadies
- Improvements to capacity in the form of Two Theaters
- Improved Theming inside Said Theaters
- Super Silly Fun Land, giving back a full kid's play area alongside a Dumbo Spinner
- a themed QS
Springfield
- Fleshing out particular food locations from the original Orlando version
- Verticality for the facade
- The level of detail increasing for facades
- Carnival Games from Orlando
Hogsmeade
- Mack being involved with Hippogriff, as opposed to Vekoma
- Dem Arms in FJ
- Making changes to how Ollivanders is handled, compared to Orlando's
To be frank, I don't get why they would be down-scaling, especially when it comes to bringing something of similar value from Osaka. Not to mention, Hollywood since Comcast hasn't exactly seemed to of been wanting to downscale any port of a developing attraction and/or area.
Revising this as I feel like I didn't get my case across:
Nintendo, is larger than two of them combined, and yet they would rather not want to do what they can to the best of their abilities? I get operations and safety comes first, but administration can be taken to other places for the Lower Lot, and it wouldn't affect things as much if I'm being real here.
I get the feeling that lowering expectations is a good thing to do, but I don't think it's fair to peg it down because it won't be as large as Hogsmeade. Hell, Hogsmeade, is the smallest of the three currently built; and they did a lot of changes to improve that one very easily.
Just because Hollywood might be the smallest, that in no way means it will be bad or disappointing.
