My meaning is that, in an ideal world, Universal would be able to do both things -- build the new park, and continue with big projects* at the current parks -- at relatively the same time. They had MIB ready for the year following IOA, for example.
So I think it's "less than ideal" that that would not appear to be the case.
*We can debate what "big" means, but I would mean certainly larger in scale than the KidZone retheme and VillainCon projects.
