Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout announced for Disney California Adventure

Maybe, he should have done some research on the pre-existing contract with Universal. Hell, Maybe, Disney should have done some research on the Universal contract before buying Marvel in the first place.

Theme park rights were not a factor in the decision to purchase Marvel, as Iger was well aware of the Universal contract.

Well, Then that should show where Iger's priorities are.

I understand the concern with SWL's placement but I am not ready to condemn the quality yet.

I don't think quality will be an issue at all. I'm optimistic it will be a quality higher than we've ever seen before.

 

[HMF]

Why not have him murdered? Why stop at taking away someone's livelihood?

Mostly because it's un-ethical, immoral and illegal.

 

[HMF]

Sounds like she'd have a lot of unlawful firing lawsuits on her hands if she was in charge.

In business, you don't necessarily need a reason to fire someone plus poor taste should be a valid reason.

 

[Curious Constance]

It's just best not to engage some people.

I've learned that over the years.

Will be interesting after this has stood complete for a few years and one pines for the old look only to pull up a picture and think, "oh... right."
Or to those who boast to their youngest ones who maybe never saw "bad tower" in its glory- show them a picture and hear them say, "what a weird looking... hotel?"
I agree about sight-line issues, but I never liked seeing that poor design loom so large anyway. This was mediocre tower. This was cheap and fast tower. Despite the Rod Serling narration and far fewer iconic images than its Florida counterpart, this had nothing to do with the spirit of the show.
Tower's getting some love- the old girl is trading her goth boyfriend in for a cyber-punk one. Why not at least meet him before banishing her from your Christmas card list.

I understand the concern with SWL's placement but I am not ready to condemn the quality yet.

Oh, I have no doubts the quality will be good. I just hate its placement and respect the park's history so much that I'm refusing to make a visit. I literally have no interest.

 

[BrianLo]

As one of the more vocal people here against the GOTG overlay, I should probably mention that I will continue to ride the ride formerly known as TOT and will probably do so on almost every visit. It will obviously still be one of the most fun attractions at the resort based off just the ride system alone. However, that does not mean that the experience as a whole won't be a downgrade. That does not mean that this overlay makes any sense. And that does not mean that the new building is not butt ugly.

That's a great stance to have!

I'm planning to give this a shot (unlike SWL), but I'm still against its placement and theme.

I do hope you'll come around to at least seeing it to help inform your opinion, even if it's to support a negative one. Not just on the East Coast.

Probably never going to happen. Every time I happen to think about it I just get angry. There's just no interest. As I said, the only way I'd step foot in the area is if I'm with my kid nephews and they want to go. Other than that, I'll continue to enjoy the other parts of the park when it opens and leave it to those with interest.

If I may ask , Are you a Star Wars fan?

 

[MisterPenguin]

Well, Then that should show where Iger's priorities are.

To bring in a boy demographic that's not based on pirates to rival the girl demographic based on princesses?

Disney is a multi-media company. It actually started with movies before the theme park.

There was also a time when Disney Movies were meant for everybody instead of just aiming for specific demographics.

 

[truecoat]

Well, Then that should show where Iger's priorities are.

They still make money from Uni, Fox, Paramount at the time and Sony among others. It was a no brainier at 4 billion.

Sure, but Disney used to excel at creating it's own product and making their own money not leech off of other studios.

 

[Californian Elitist]

If I may ask , Are you a Star Wars fan?

You may ask.

I like the movies, but I'm not an uber fan. Disney could build an entire land based on one of my favorite movies and I'd still be upset.

Mostly because it's un-ethical, immoral and illegal.

Having someone blackballed from an industry is at least two of the above.

How?

 

[truecoat]

Sure, but Disney used to excel at creating it's own product and making their own money not leech off of other studios.

That day has long since passed.

 

[HMF]

That day has long since passed.

If that's the case then the company should be shut down.
