I don't know Universal at all, but I can only get a max off 77,000 sq. feet if I include all of the stands/stores out front with it. I get about the same for Jurassic Park as well. Universal has the tough task of needing to maximize the use of their space as their land is much more valuable than Disney (since they don't have the luxury of building out like Disney can). Like I said, I don't know Universal (I went once and that was 20 years ago and wasn't very impressed), but this is their chance to really start pulling people from Disney (Nintendo + Potter). They have to know that they have to do it really well if they want to think about ever truly competing with Disney.
For improvements of existing parks, sure, they don't have much room. But the land acquisitions down the street certainly lend themselves to expansion in the form of a new gate. One which could also be anchored by significant Nintendo presence.
