Rhode's baby is AK no matter what he is in charge of or how high he goes in the company he will always watch out for AK. Or at least that is my feeling on it anyway. As for him overseeing marvel for all we know he is a comic book junkie and this is a project he had been wanting to go spear head. I feel like Disney is letting creative groups run wild with their IP and putting people in charge that know how to protect and develope qulaity material from each IP. STAR WARS has kennedy, Pixar has Laseter and now Marvel has Rhode. Marvel and pixar have shown in the movies what this type of structure can produce time after time, maybe now we will see it play out in the parks? On a final note I belive part of the bord meeting last week was some cash approved for DL, rumors point to Marvel now we have an Immaginerin division for Marvel hard to not belive it is a coincidence.... just my 2 cents

This all brings us to Sunday, Aug. 11. James Hansen, who attended the D23 Expo panel on Sunday, asked Rohde if the Yeti will ever be fixed. Rohde responded:
“It’s very complicated to work on, we are working on it… I will fix the Yeti someday, I swear.”

Sorry about that. As much as I would like to see Marvel in WDW I think we shall have to set our gaze west for our super hero experience (unless Disney is smart and includes an Incredibles experience in the DHS reboot).

That settles it, Ka-zar and the Savage Land are coming to DAK.
He is working on Disney Cruise Line.

I havent heard the details of whatever "Pixar" means when it comes to DHS' makeover.
I'm hopeful they'd use The Incredibles over rehashed TSPL.

No, Marvel needs to be in a park where Star Wars would be located. I'm excited to see what they do with the Avatar themed land. The movie was about conservation and living with nature.

Why not both?
It seems likely that additional Toy Story stuff and Cars will come to DHS. I think that's fine. But there needs to be other properties included as well IMHO -- The Incredibles, Monsters Inc. and Ratatouille seem the best options to me (and I guess retheming HISTK to Bug's Life).

Is he still working at WDI Tokyo on TDR?

Because I simply have an aversion to cloned attractions.

Unless if he turned Dinoland into the Savage Land and gave us a meet and greet with Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy...

The hot rumor for TSPL suggests that only one of the three rides would be a clone though.

I don't follow those rumors.
I follow the budgetary rumors

If his earlobe gets more then a quarter inch lower in hang, he will be tripping over it on a regular basis. Ought to be fun to watch anyway.

Very true. But Joe Rohde and Kathy Mangum are in Orlando so much, they may as well be staffed there.
Joe Rohde is in Glendale maybe one week out of a month. Besides Orlando, he's very fond of his exotic, weeks-long trips around the world.

Still working with Hong Kong/China and DCL. Doing some very big, unannounced things.

I'm very, very glad to see that Joe and Bob will both be sticking around WDI. I was a little worried for both of them.
That said, I wonder if Marvel is the best use of Joe's talents. Joe seems to excel (and is probably even the best in the business) at design which is culturally accurate and deeply rooted in regional traditions. Marvel, by contrast, tends to stick to its own worlds and is 99% fictional.
Still though, whatever keeps the two around.
