Since its currently said that Star Wars nor Pixar will extend this far and Muppets are already there might as well extend that as they are bringing the show back it makes sense to me.

I seems at the moment Disney have an array of ideas (GotG, Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar etc..) for that area and I for one am excited with any of the options mentioned 
. Now I have said that though Disney will proberbly go a different way all together and disappoint me (which is not a comment I usually associate with Disney)

Remember that's as far as I've heard. Things can change. SoA are definitely being looked at closely regardless.
London and Paris both have extensive underground subways. London also had the Docklands light railway.

How about they finally build SOMETHING NEW instead of constantly re-porpoising existing attractions? DHS is down 3 attractions since last year at this time.

Personally, I think RNRC would be perfect for Tron... of course the Ride Vehicle would need to be changed though.
But imagine listening to that Daft Punk soundtrack on that coaster. Could be a great update.

I for one hate reporpoising. I want my park to stay a park, not become some useless marine mammal.

Ha! Awesome auto-correct. In the interest of humor, I'll leave it that way
What could Disney have given Universal that they didn't already have?

As stated in the quoted post, the rights to use the Cinematic Universe (which helps Disney to be honest as far as branding goes) in exchange for taking out the Fantastic Four and X-Men characters (as a part of Disney's feud with FOX) and also some things to allow Disney to use certain characters in WDW.
It's more of a revision than anything. I'm just reporting over what I hear. @Disneyhead'71 would know more than I as I heard it from him.
I thought it has already been established that the current contract doesn't prevent them from using he MCU?

It's a grey area. It's not specifically mentioned, but the MCU also didn't exist back when the contract was created.

Thats not what I was referring to. I meant you getting Sparky over here believing that GotG was coming to DHS.

lol, I have no idea what you are talking about or if you even read my posts.
I posted the GotG bits at WDW as pure speculation based on it being something very popular, would fit well next to Star Wars and Disney can use it.

Phases... at WDW?
It's one thing to armchair Imagineer all sorts of Marvel/Star Wars/Pixar attractions for WDW.
It's a completely different fantasy to think that any expansion that ever gets done at WDW will ever follow through on a Phase II that hasn't already been budgeted.
Not even a slightest chance of this happening at WDW. If it isn't in the initial announcement and got bulldozers committed to it, it won't ever happen. Once an expansion is open and earing revenue, the bean counters sit back and let the money flow. This is why Cameron fought so hard to get as much right with Pandora out of the box as he knew a Phase II was unobtainium.
The only things that happen in phases at WDW are: rolling out opening a budgeted expansion in phases (like New Fantasyland) or phased closings of the parks.

Yeah, and Skippy took it and ran with it and started his "I was right all along" happy dance.
I'm not disagreeing but I have my doubts. Mostly, Glendale's loathesome habit of refusing to spend money.

Don't pat yourself on the back for a completely unsubstantiated rumor. No modifications to the existing contract have been made public nor would they be needed for Uni's plans.

It's a grey area IMHO because the studios themselves typically own the rights to the images as part of their deals for the film rights to the characters. I don't think that Uni could use the movie images of Spider-Man (from Sony) or the X-Men or Fantastic Four (from Fox) without the permission of those movie studios. OTOH, the MCU images are owned by Marvel who made the original deal so its not like they are a third party.
I would think that it's enough of a grey area with using MCU looks that making any agreement explicit and clearly laid out would benefit both sides and avoid any legal concerns in the future.
