Potential space for the Hollywood Studios redesign

With the announced closure of the Art of Animation Building at Hollywood Studios, they’re one step closer to freeing up approximately half the park’s land for potential Star Wars and/or Pixar additions.

 All they need to close down now are the Voyage of the Little Mermaid (Way past its prime), and the Streets of America (empty most of the year, excluding Christmas). The only maybe I can see here would be whether or not they decide to close Lights, Motor, Action. I think if they’re going a different direction with the park, the Stunt Show would have very little relevance and could definitely go the way of the Backlot Tour. 

That leaves everything in red for redevelopment. Of course, some of that is backstage area which would either need to be moved or condensed. And they might need to move the Earful Tower. Either way, I can definitely see them fitting $2 Billion worth of improvements on this footprint.
