And like I said, getting recertification for emergency vehicles access roads is expensive permitting you don’t want to have to redo if you’re already fine with what you have. That’s a lot of hoops to jump through.Well, if we’re just speculating things, they could just move all of Hogsmeade twenty yards to the west and get more space as well.
The IoA property is defined by the perimeter road. It use to be structured (and @Alicia can probably confirm if it still is) so that Studios, IoA, and CityWalk were three different PROPERTIES with unique, definitive property lines. It was likely designed that way to avoid compounding taxes (if one area posted a profit and the posted a loss, for example). They were ostensibly, separate businesses and it’s why permits will have different addresses based on where work is happening.
That said, any expansion of either park beyond their perimeter is a big deal. The IoA ops building is part of IoA’s perimeter but everything else for that park is inside the perimeter road. Redrawing of property lines (even lines you own) has to go through city/county review, approval, and tax reappraisal. It won’t happen.
Maybe if they were cloning an attraction from somewhere else that has to be a certain size, it may be worth changing things around to accommodate it, but if you’re developing an attraction from scratch, you have the luxury of building around current available space and odd-shaped limitations.
