Getting back on topic, today's MiceAge update talks about the DCA version of Tower and how unless Shanghai bombs the Guardians will come this fall in time for a May debut. No mention of Florida's version.

I just finished that article and came here to mention it
Very interesting- I don't see Shanghai DL nosediving... I think we can about kiss this ride goodbye.
I wonder how they are planning to change the exterior of the ride.

Just for clarification's sake nothing is OWNED by Universal. Universal pays Disney/Marvel a fee for an exclusive use license.

Also said the marvel coaster is on pace for 2020 and won't be going in the Timon parking lot but rather the monsters inc area.

I'll rest my case here. I see a bit of truth to both my and your perspectives. Just depends on how you look at it I think.

The MiceAge article mentioning Monsters Inc getting turned into a Marvel ride is making me imagine a "Super Hero Star Limo" and that the Drew Carey that still exists under the CTA costuming will be redressed as Hulk and the redressed Jackie Chan figure will become Spider-Man.

I'd love to see a state of the art Hulk AA figure one day... should just keep waiting.

Maybe in Universal's rumored Avengers ride.

If anything, they should be glad to know that most everyone thinks it's a stupid idea before they proceed(ed).
How can they be furious about that? Or are they so hardheaded on the idea, they were attempting damage control by keeping it under wraps?
How is this a good idea in their heads? Destroy the Tower and the Monsters Inc ride and the entire Hollywoodland concept? I do not understand.

You know what's funny?
I assume they are mad it got leaked as then, they had no control over the message. Companies always want to be in control of the messaging of a new or potential product.

Oh.. completely ignoring the reception of the idea. Right.

If they indeed move along with this forced GotG retheming of the ToT, a classic ride, perfectly designed and incredibly popular as it is, then this must be the most absurd waste of Disney money one could ever dream of. At a time where the parks have to endure severe cuts left and right, no less. It does not make ANY kind of sense. I can only shake my head at a management that even starts to ponder such an idea.

ehhh..maybe, maybe not. It seems the idea to do this at WDW has gone...

Not permanently necessarily. They can't afford to sacrifice capacity. If it flops at DCA, we won't have to suffer it. But if it somehow does well out west...

Well, I was actually onboard with the idea of GotG replacing the ToT in DCA only because it would be part of a cohesive Marvel area with the space behind it (between ToT and Cars Land). If they put GotG in ToT but put other Marvel stuff on the opposite side of Hollywood Land, it defeats the purpose IMHO.
If they want to make the area where Monsters Inc and the Frozen sing-a-long are into Marvel, that's cool, but then leave ToT alone.
Regarding WDW, the Miceage article makes it sound like a much larger and involved plan for ToT than just a quick overlay with it taking 7-8 months to complete. I just don't see how DHS could afford to take a major attraction like that off-line for that long in the next year. It strikes me that doing some "temporary" overlay of GotG around the time of the movie would be far more likely, with the ride staying intact. Or just putting GotG in somewhere else (everyone knows that Stitch is just screaming for a new theme, right?)

The one thing the article reminded me of is Disney's agreement with the city of Anaheim to invest $1B+ in park enhancements or lose their tax benefits. Overall, chump change investment for a company their size.
