I haven't commented on this, but it's safe to say I'm not a fan of the plan. Wonder how they'll integrate all the Marvel stuff together. At this point, just gotta hope for the best. Disney is really banking on GOTG 2 being a big success as well. I tend to believe it will be.

I'm sure it'll do well, but I do believe the general public will eventually burn-out on the whole Superhero film genre -- at least in its current form--due to sheer oversaturation. Probably just in time for the grand opening of DCA's Marvelicious Avenue or whatever they end up calling it. I'm looking forward to hearing more about their plans for the area. Hopefully it'll be clever and fun even if the films wear out their welcome. I have to say, though, the out-of-context present design of "Breakout" (which would be more fun if it were based on the old Atari game) has me just a teensy bit worried...

Disney will probably get some security dressed as Cap and Spidey to Taser them and drag them away.

My question is did Disney expect this sort of negative response? I'm sure they did from most of us Park enthusiasts but the response has been overwhelmingly negative on Social media. I would assume they were expecting a better response than this? Are they that out of touch with their fans? Or do they just need to get Marvel in the parks ASAP and don't care how?
Just now on KTLA 5, (LA news station) they brought up the GOTG takeover and started the piece by saying "Disneyland fans are not happy..." IMO opinion this is different from the SWL announcement. That announcement was met with very positive reactions from the general public. I never saw any negative press with the SWL announcement. Which is simply because nobody lost a fan favorite attraction in the process.

I always thought Disney should build an attraction based on Atari and arcade games.
How about retheming the tower for a Wreck-it-Ralph overlay?

Hopefully Disney ignores these people. I get being bothered, but when your mania becomes a local news story you may want to consider taking it down a notch.

Did they turn on the "It's a small world" music when the story was being run? That is what they usually do when crazies make the news. Every time they do an UFO story, they play the theme to the X-Files.

Why should they if it's something that your audience clearly doesn't want?

You know what's funny?
Sometimes the vocal minority wins. Sometimes they don't. I'm betting this is one of those times they don't.

It's all of the above, but mostly I think super heroes at DLR feels out of sync with most people's idea of what Disneyland is supposed to be. With that said, I'll take a risk and go a bit further and specifically state that hyper masculinity is at the root of this "revolt".
There are very few classic rides at DLR with a decidedly adult masculine viewpoint. Most stories told at DLR tend to either be either gender neutral (Haunted Mansion), feminine (Little Mermaid) and/or told through the eyes of a child (Nemo Subs). Over the past couple of decades the parks have overloaded audiences with a steady stream of preciousness from new character stage shows, Pooh in Critter Country, fancy new Princess hug zones, fairy tale makeover boutiques, and on and on and on. After being exclusively fed such a heavy dose of dainty sweetness for so long I admit it does seem odd, yet refreshing, to see so many testosterone driven projects in the pipeline. Couple the shift in direction with the fact that the IPs aren't homegrown Disney brands and you get a lot of upset fans who feel hurt and betrayed.

Because the Comicon crowd represents a teensy-tiny itty-bitty fraction of DL's customer base. Most people will adore Marvel in DCA. Most current guests have no clue what the Twilight Zone is and, even if they've ridden the tower, couldn't tell you the "story" for a million dollars.

Yep, it helped usher in Iger, who everyone seems to love.

So the general public should take it down a notch? They didn't say MICECHAT fans. Or WDW Magic fans. They said Disneyland fans. I'm assuming they re data is based mostly off of social media.

"Disneyland fans" does not equal "the general public".

Right, but how else should she start the piece? People all over the United States aren't happy? "Disneyland fans" means folks who enjoy going To Disneyland. It doesn't mean APs. It doesn't mean super fans on MICECHAT and WDW Magic.
I would argue the majority of people on social media with negative reactions are the "Disneyland fans" they are talking about. Not the tiny amount of people on these boards.
