TOT is one of the Imagineering masterpieces like Haunted Mansion and POTC. No way does it need to be changed or remodeled....and the Twilight Zaone licensing I am sure is not much... beyond that why hasnt Disney just purchased the IP ? they seem to have bought just about everything else... a little used IP like Twilight Zone can't be a problem for them... and they could really expand on it once they own it... A whole new Disney Channel Twilight Zone series would be amazing... I am bored with Star Wars and Super Heroes...

CBS has to want to sell the IP for Disney to buy it. Every few years they like to reboot the franchise and plus I would think that they make some money off of the syndication of the original series. I'm pretty sure the license fee isn't outrageous for Disney at least in the grand scheme of things, however Disney seems to want to limit outside IP in their parks. So if they drop Twilight Zone the take care of not paying CBS and the park icon isn't tied to another company's IP. Just to be clear I want them to keep the Twilight Zone theme.

Exactly!!
Under the IP mandate, all non-IP attractions are possible targets for a retheme. Conjecture is warranted.

Also ever since DCAs changed theme the conversation always shifted to well what happens if Disney World wants a retheme.

Well of course the more everyone keeps asking for a re-theme the more likely at somepoint it will happen....and badly. So I would just prefer to not put the attraction inn the crosshairs for being ruined permanently. It's a great attraction....any retheme will be much less so.....

Let’s not give them any more ideas, though I do believe this would be the easiest (and cheapest) way to retheme it if they were going to. Screens, screens, a big Sanctum symbol to replace the HTH sign, and more screens.

You have to remember, the DHS ToT ride system is very different. The show shafts are only capable of moving at “normal” speeds as they have more standard elevator motors in them, and there is no room in the drop shaft except at the bottom for a screen(which there already is).
The IP mandate exists.
Almost all non-IP attractions are targets for an IP retheme.
So, I'll not only conjecture, but suggest an IP I'd like to see if the mandate is applied.

Man, that'd be a waste of that IP. Dr Strange should be more like Haunted Mansion or Mystic Manor.
I think if Disney wanted to fully retheme ToT, they would've done it at the same time as DCA. If we get any changes, I think it'll just be to remove the TZ theming. Like others have said, they can use this supposed movie to justify it. Or the Tower is kind of just a park IP like Figment or Haunted at this point, it could stand on its own under the IP mandate that way.
