I have not seen any mention of these in the acquisition news.

Because in a 54 BILLION dollar deal centered around content...tiny licensed theme parks aren't even a hair on a pimple on their butt :)

It's like when Disney bought Star Wars and the Disney sites were all upset over no plans for the theme parks on day one. That's all desert stuff to figure out after the main meal is finished.

Dubai might be desert stuff, but what about Korea? "RIMSHOT"
Good night! Tip your waitresses!

Aside from maybe an X men presence in Marvel land ( only because Marvel land is confirmed) I hope I don’t see any of the other Fox characters at DLR.

Avatar at a third park could work though.

Yeah, though one possibility might be to drop Marvel Land, make Hollywood Backlot + Bugs Land a catch-all 20th Century Fox area, and give 3rd park to Marvel.

This could actually just keep Hollywood Backlot as it is, just enrich it with real classic Hollywood IP.

Hmmm I like keeping it classic Hollywood, eventhough we lost TOT as the anchor, but which Fox IPs Would fit classic Hollywood? I don’t really know what’s on their roster.

Under license... (each park has a different owner.

So Disney/Fox could go the licensing route like Tokyo Disneyland and the 3 Fox parks. Time for Six Flags to take over the license and operate all its parks, including DLR and WDW.

I'd rather have Knotts Berry Farm take over Anaheim

Here's the roster from 1935 - 1999: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_20th_Century_Fox_films_(1935–99)

A lot of WWII stuff... Skip down to the 50's onward for some titles modern audiences would recognize. You got your Rogers & Hammerstein musicals - which would definitely give the place a psuedo-MGM vibe.

Oh, they simply MUST do something with Zorro the Gay Blade!
