Tell that to Triceratops Spin and Magic Carpets of Aladdin. Or, you know, the entire WDWMAGIC boards that want the Indiana Jones ride from Disneyland when it's the same exact track as Dinosaur. (Different rides are different, and a ride system is just a ride system, not a ride)

You would have said the same about Pirates of the Caribbean and It's a small world...then they put those two attractions only in doors on the east coast... Don't under estimate disney's ability to modify a popular attraction to fit a new climate. They're smart people.

If I'm not mistaken, Carsland cost 500 million and RSR took about 300 million of that. Totally doable in a 1.5 billion budget (especially when RSR would be one of the main new additions beyond Star Wars land)

2 things I'd bet good money on: RSR will come to DHS. It's a no-lose situation. It's a HUGE hit at DCA and cloning it will allow them to re-look at the budget for the DCA version and cut some corners. They know it will be popular, and cheaper than they did it the first time. It also happens to...

This is terrible. I'd watch this at a flea market, not at Walt Disney World where you spend over 100 dollars just to get in the front door.

Quick map overlay I put together. Is this far off from the plans you saw? This would be my logical full-blown dream expansion. (Also, maybe have the hat be a decoration near WoC that lights up with the show?) A man can dream. :happy:

That is incredibly exciting. Thank you. I'm so pumped.

Did you hear this along with more detailed DHS re-do plans? Is this a part of a bigger picture to give the park a "california adventure" style-lift?

I could see Star Wars land starting there. Although, it's possible that another temporary show will move there while everything begins to play out (if they indeed need to close LMA)

No way Indy goes away until a part of Star Wars land is up and running. This is tricky for them, because of crowd control. I can see Pixar Place expansion and Star Wars land opening up in parts. Pixar Place expansion stage 1 will open and then LMA will go down for unknown...

we were discussing the possibility of adding guardians of the galaxy, and that's how it went into an IP purchase discussion.

That's fascinating! Wonder if they changed their mind. Also gives some validity to those entertainment schedules that suggest October 11th is the last day for HISTK and all the various things around that area.

Their theme park business is one of the most profitable areas of the company year in and year out. But, this is why I'm asking. I think if Marvel properties continue to make a billion, they'd be fools not to buy out that contract unless it was over 100 million dollar asking price.

Don't under-estimate Disney's ability to sit back and collect money> I think it's more about them making money off of Universal and not having to make any more investments. What do you think they would rather do? Spend 10 million to stop making money and then have to invest another couple...

In fact, not only does it sound high, it sounds ridiculous. Disney BOUGHT MARVEL for 4 billion. So, no way it costs anywhere close to billions.

Hmmm, that sounds high. Can you cite something or point me in the right direction?

How much would it realistically cost to buy out that Universal deal? 10 million? More? Disney must see that having a Pixarland, a Marvel land, and a Star Wars land in Disney's Hollywood Studios would KILL

They're grasping at straws. But, okay. I just can't buy into ANY rumor that suggests Pixar Place's expansion is like 5 attractions deep. Has Disney done ANYTHING to promote the idea that they'd be willing to throw in that kind of money? 3 Toy Story Playland attractions, a Cars ride, and...

I'm not disagreeing with rumors that suggest there is a future star wars land and a future pixar place expansion LOCATION. I'm saying that people are now assuming Toy Story Playland is going to be the Pixar expansion. And, I'm saying that the rumor started because of someone not wanting it. No...

I don't know why everyone is now assuming that Toy Story Playland is the definite replacement. I've read every post of this thread, and the person who brought it up was saying something like "I hope it's not this." Once people started discussing it, someone just assumed that's what was...
