As of this writing, there has been no announcements yet regarding plans for ESPN Zone (which has been used for shopping event space since the restaurant’s closure) or Star Wars Trading Post, which moved into the former location of Rainforest Cafe last year. Both of these locations are in the same immediate vicinity as the three closing businesses.
