Waitaminit.

So now, Universal is paying Disney to operate Marvel rides.

And Legoland is paying Disney to operate Star Wars Legoland.

Wow.

Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Everyone can get very excited over this but remember Disney needs to act on this and DO SOMETHING in the theme parks with this which, judging from the last few months on this forum, no one has any faith in them doing.

I just wonder what Cameron thinks of the deal in general. And I'm sure he's been aware they've been talking. Perhaps, this was what enabled Disney to strong arm him into agreeing to a two-attraction Pandora and not a three attracton land.

So much to ponder ...

Yeah...avatar land isn't as impressive anymore. I think people would be even more thrilled if they created the wookie planet from ROTS.
What would you rather have walking around animal kingdom...tall blue things or wookies?

I enjoy that they're drinking milk...

So do they bring skywalker sound, ilm to DHS to recreate how the original trilogy was made...a behind the scene tour...maybe recreate the Hoth hanger scene to walk through.

1000s of possibilities with this move for the theme parks.

My second night of no power from hurricane sandy and I've been charging my phone from my car. I have 1 red bar left on my phone and I've used it to read this entire thread! Star Wars Land would be amazing, incredible, and the ultimate draw to WDW. Please please build it NOW!!!!!

But now you get the Disney intro and a castle. I know, it won't be the same. I was thinking, can you imagine Star Wars posters with the DISNEY logo really noticeably placed above the epic STAR WARS?

They go together even to the point that Fox adapted the transition music to its own logo. The Fox fanfare is also on the official Star Wars soundtracks!

Wow!

and LucasAnimation which could be a useful resource for Disney. The work they have done on Clone Wars is pretty impressive.

YES!! Now we can get our howard the duck sequal!

*looks around*

One thing to throw water on the droolfest ...

The thing is Disney will have to move quickly to capitalize on this from a parks perspective. ... They can't plan things for 6-8-10 years from now ... they need to pull a UNI and start building ASAP and go from there. They haven't shown they have the ability to turn around quickly and get a project moving (although there are MANY Star Wars and some Indy concepts that have just collected dust that may get looked at with new eyes). This isn't the Disney that buillt EPCOT Center from start to finish in three years. This is the Disney that takes five to build something as tiny and non-earthshaking as the Fantasyland 'expansion'.

Yeah, FLE is tiny. Get real dude.

That's not milk....they're White Russians purchased from the BOG restaurant in The Magic kingdom.

He likes Indy. He hates Han Solo and has said so many times. He tried to get himself killed off in Jedi.

We need a new Indy, Harrison Ford looked very very very old in that role in Crystal Skull.

Guess who also now owns the Indiana Jones franchise?

Earthquake!
