I'm pretty sure Andy was joking when he said he didn't know anything.
I've been saying this for a bit now... I think this is only the start. The next decade+ could match the growth we saw from the late 80s to late 90s (MGM, USF, AK, IOA).
1) Universal's attendance has grown faster (as a percentage) compared to Disney's attendance.But for 19 years, Disney didn't build crap, and their attendance kept skyrocketing.
The thing is, Disney doesn't have to fight the war. And their current rides show that. SWGE is not well received. The TRON coaster is very basic, and destroys its own theme, and Ratatouille is a nice kids dark ride.
GotG and RotR are the two wild cards still that may be awesome, maybe not.

Another phenomenal Universal park will likely hurt Seaworld and LEGOland more than Disney. Evan Hogsmeade didn't really hurt Disney.
Universal HAS to announce a Magical Express equivalent, IMHO. Hell, it needs to start like tomorrow. Maybe even set up a deal with Seaworld for busses between resorts. Uni and SEAS together could maybe chip away on Disney. There are too many people who think not having a car is a huge positive. They can't math enough to realize the food costs, and now especially with Disney charging you parking anyway, a rental car costs you $200 for a week stay just in parking at a Disney resort. That, along with all the DizNoids saying how awful Universal is keeps many from ever going. Disney knows once they go once, they are likely going to change their Orlando vacations forever.
Nintendo itself is going to be like the second coming of Potter - and in my opinion, it will be even bigger. That alone should get Disney's attention, let alone the rest of the park. To think that within 15 years Universal could have an equal amount of parks to Disney is insane, and should really draw the DizNoids to finally give Uni a chance. And as has been discussed before, the current demographic of Uni is young adults. Those young adults will soon have kids whom they will take to Universal. We could have a new generation of "Universal Kids" incoming.The thing is, Disney doesn't have to fight the war. And their current rides show that. SWGE is not well received.
