Oh I do! I was going to post this but saw yours. I actually went there as a kid.Anybody remember Old Chicago? It was an indoor park in the Chicago suburbs from 1975-80.

I'd like to see them plan a Marvel park just west of the Mississippi (NOLA?), as close to Orlando as they can get, just to be a thorn in Universals side.

I didn't know you were from Kenosha! So am I...near the lake off highway 50! KTown represent!!! Too sad they closed the drive in theater forever
I read the article. It actually has me rethink for the Wisconsin Disneyland imagineering idea that I'm working on off and on. The additional 83 acres does change what I have in mind.
I do have a problem with the article mentioning Marvel. All can be done with Marvel Right now is big hero 6 and Guardians of the Galaxy.
The article didn't do their homework on the Marvel contract for the odds of ironing out the contract for Wisconsin. The contract prevents Marvel Characters that are part the Avenger Family inside a Disney theme park East of the Mississippi River from doing meet and greets and rides.
I double checked that article. Even without rides, it is questionable in terms of hotels or a Marvel Museum.
The article addresses the Marvel contract...
"Marvel character appearances at “theme parks” east of the Mississippi River get a little tricky because of an agreement between Marvel and Universal Studios’ parent company when Islands of Adventure was built. That is why the three-acre traveling “Marvel Experience” only has appeared west of the Mississippi. But Dallas is closer to Orlando than Kenosha, so I’m certain renegotiating the deal could result in a mutually beneficial arrangement."
There is major difference there. The Mississippi River actually doesn't go through Canada.I think they also had the same issue with the Former Marvel Superheroes Adventure City in Canada since it was on the Eastern side...[/MEDIA]

Hey, Disney could build a huge indoor type of theme park with resorts attached to them. That way they can control the weather climate and really hit it out of the park. Can you think of the cool theming that Disney can create with an indoor park? Laser shows, the lighting can change with the music and so on. Untapped part of the USAI live in Kenosha, WI. It's smack in the middle of the Milwaukee/Chicago Interstate 94 (I94) corridor - giant suburbs are located between and around these cities - pretty much a giant city of "Chiwaukee."
Chicago is 1 hour south, Milwaukee is 1/2 hour north, Minneapolis is 6 hours northwest, Indianapolis 4-5 hours southeast.
In Kenosha we have a defunct greyhound racetrack that is an eyesore sitting on tons of prime acreage along I94.
Our governor but the kabosh (forever) on developing the site for a Hard Rock Casino & Entertainment Complex.
Now community stakeholders are looking at "what's next" for the site.
I opened to the editorial page of KNews to read "Disney at Dairyland?" and immediately laughed at the headline.
I'm thought "Wisconsin? Disney park?" "That is crazy - this IS the frozen tundra - people want to escape this agood-forsaken frozen place!"
But... Then I began to read... This guy makes some very good points. I'm not holding my breath because I realize it's a pipe dream, but I'd love to see this happen in my community. It's a great location, we have people who need jobs and would jump at the chance to work for Disney, plus for DCP, we have 3 colleges/universities in our town alone and too many to count in our region.

Nope. Canada obviously is not the United States and Disney can use Marvel outside of the U.S.This is true...But, I do wonder if Disney or Universal had to tell them to retheme it..
