No attractions for a while maybe characters. When attractions do come I think the studios will be most affected.

More along the lines of DHS I say...Or whenever a Fifth gate is created from the Orlando soil.

I am just hoping this won't affect any refurbishments or additions that were already rumored or planned. Disney does have seperate money allocated to each of it's divisions but by dilluting there shares and trying to buy them back within 1 to 2 years cash is going to be tight.

I think it could be reasonably easy to insert some of the Marvel characters into New York Street at the Studios. And perhaps instead of the old, dated, since I was in 5th grade Power Rangers thing could be replaced with Marvel characters. I would hate it though if they went anywhere near Epcot or MK with those guys.

Well I think we are all pretty sure it would be DHS... and I'm also sure we all hope it won't be seen anywhere else. There is no need for it in the 3 other parks.
Even in DHS, it doesn't fit the formula. Nothing about superheroes fits with the theme of hollywood and putting you into the movies. They would have to make a show similar to Indy, but using superheroes. Im not sure about rides.

As long as the Superhero Island is open at IoA... none. Same in Tokyo. Though we could see something it DCA/DL...

I would say DHS would be the most effected.

I disagree. I would think Disney would try to compete with this...

Not so much a park, but I think DTD will have merch to sell ASAP

What about a re-theme of Disney Quest into a sort of Superhero Fortress and include superhero gaming with levels themed differently to major superheroes/villains. I think it could work.

The Marvel acquisition is meant to bring in new revenue streams. Likely won't see any attractions for a long time. But will see merchandise, games, possibly cartoons and the like soon. Can't wait for the Spidey/Mickey team up against Green Gobbie/Pete :lol:.
I grew up with Marvel just as much as I did with Disney.
