As I said, the odds of it happening are increased if Iger wants it. If not, you're absolutely 100% right because there's no motivation coming from the top for it. If he does want it, however, everything I said is applicable. I have no earthly clue what he's thinking, but I know what I would be thinking if I were in his shoes - and I know what you wouldn't be thinking if you were in his position.
Exactly. See my follow-up.
Aw, why do you want to get rid of Marvel Super Hero Island, and more importantly, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man so badly?
If I collected a dollar for every time someone told me something would never happen...
I don't. They could keep that. I just want Disney to legally build their Marvel properties wherever they wish without having the threat of lawsuit hovering over their shoulders all the time.Aw, why do you want to get rid of Marvel Super Hero Island, and more importantly, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man so badly?
It'd be a shame for Marvel Super Hero Island to have to be removed from Islands of Adventure and have all of the rides re-themed...
I'll agree to hold back as much as I can, but you know I will jump at those "I told you so" moments when and IF they arise!
They do? Now, there's our barter!!!!!
There's no conspiracy! I never implied that!
I honestly don't see why it's such a big deal. Universal had the rights first. Sorry. It's just the way things are and they can built Marvel in the other parks around the world, as been proven by the recent HKDL announcement.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about very specific Marvel properties, not a Marvel land. In fact, there would be little (if any) overlap.
There we go. Case closed. Now, I can sleep at night. If Iger and Roberts want to it, it's up to them.Yep, it's one of my favorite examples of the inter-relationship between media companies. Universal has the theme park right to Harry Potter, but Disney has the broadcast rights via ABC and ABC Family which a lot of people get access to via Comcast who owns Universal.
I only brought it up because I was talking about why Carsland at DHS must happen. In fact, I didn't bring it up, I was lead their because I had to explain my position on Carsland.
And my rationale for why CL must happen was because revising the Marvel deal wasn't happening. I was making a point for why it should and I was agreeing with you that revising the Marvel deal wasn't happening (but it should).
I have less of an extent with Potter in Hollywood because that is still a day park. They're also not doing a direct clone, they're cloning Forbidden Journey, but they're also ramping up what they're doing in Hollywood compared to the current IOA counterpart.
