That would be cool in DHS.

Where it will never be built, as WDW cannot use Marvel properties except GOTG. HKDL, DL and DLP are first in line for new Marvel stuff. TDL is unlikely to get any as they're not interested. And WDW can't get any, which is fine since IOA is going to school Disney again with its new Avengers E-ticket.

With Incredibles 2 coming up, I'd rather see an Incredibles E, a relocated Finding Nemo - The Musical in Premier Theater, and a clone of Ride and Go Seek than RSR-lite and TSPL. They could even do cross-development and use the Incredibles ride as the Marvel E for DCA.
All of the bases covered.
Incredibles as the non-Star Wars headliner (Twister ride system for this or the Star Wars E)
Monsters Inc as the new family dark ride
Finding Nemo as a people-eating C-ticket show
HITSK as Up or Bug's Life
TSPL as A/B-ticket filler
I wouldn't mind getting Cars if we get everything else minus a relocated Nemo. But RSR-lite seems like a waste of a budget. Give me an Indy clone over that

Even if TDL was interested I think they're still restricted since USJ has the Spider-Man ride. Not sure if it's the same as WDW though.

I'm not familiar with the parameters either there, but it's kind of a moot point since TDL has no interest in the Marvel properties (or AVATAR for that matter).

Or Cars.

To be honest, that one surprised me a little bit. Ripping out the Rivers of the Far West for Cars Land seemed like something OLC would have been interested in doing, but perhaps Cars lacks the required kawaii. Regardless, it was a good choice to pass on that proposal. Their Fantasyland expansion is going to put every MK in the world to shame, and coupled with Arendelle in TDS they're just going to win win win no matter what.

Ant-Man is a founding member of the Avengers, therefore unable to be used in WDW

That's what I was referring to. GotG would work in DHS.

Ah. Asgard is Thor, so it's off limits for WDW.

Ah. I obviously don't know my Marvel. LOL

Asgard.
I think they moved Rohde onto the more fantasy driven IP in part to keep the travel costs down. Building the Bifröst just to due research for Anaheim would get very expensive.

AAAANNNNND the Marvel fanbois here keep getting told by knowledgable people like you and PhotoDave and WDW1974 that Marvel will not be a huge presence in WDW because of contracts and yet they just won't
For the last time...if someone here wants to go on rides based on Marvel characters while he or she is visiting Florida, there's this little park down the road:
See! Here's a picture of it and everything! Maybe visual aids will help.

Technically, it's in this park. Not that one.AAAANNNNND the Marvel fanbois here keep getting told by knowledgable people like you and PhotoDave and WDW1974 that Marvel will not be a huge presence in WDW because of contracts and yet they just won't

Every interview of Joe I've seen, he's always struck me as a true creative artist. Passionate about what he creates, imaginative, and marches to his own drummer. Glad to see he will still be around and will be able to keep an eye out for DAK.

Not that I want to start WWIII, but this is a question, more for my own personal edification. I really don't know the details of the Universal contract with Marvel and Disney's ownership of the IP and how those two prevent Disney from building Marvel attractions in Florida. Can someone explain, in a few sentences, please? And please don't dump a bucket load of poo poo on my head. If need be, PM me. Just want to have a better understanding of the issue, since this is a hot topic on these boards.
Thanks.

Well, I'm not the person to ask about that. I don't know the details, I just know that contracts prevent Disney from using Marvel in WDW, apparently because Universal owns the rights to use Marvel characters in its parks. But there are some very knowledgeable people here who can help you - people like WDW1974, or Lee, or articos, or PhotoDave - people who really have inside knowledge about the parks. I hope you get your answers.

disney cannot use the word Marvel in any property within a certain radius of a Universal park property, nor can they use any property associated with the characters(and family) of characters in use at IoA east of the Mighty miss.
