Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

[lazyboy97o]

I looked it up an it actually opened in Singapore in 2011. Before Disney bought Lucasfilm.

So? They're not going to keep using the same old rendered film with newer audio visual equipment.

Point is that the actual colaboration was done before. Also, like @AEfx said, ILM is run independently/agnostically and has done effects for just about everyone under the sun since its inception.

Such digital media is not one and done. It isn't just Industrial Light and Magic that doesn't care. Walt Disney Pictures doesn't mind paying Universal for access to Universal Studios Hollywood.

Just to be clear: You are saying it is still reasonably possible to happen in DCA, but is less likely (yet possible) for DHS. Correct?

I'll go a tad further and say it's almost a certainty for DCA. I'd say it's 90%.

DHS...a slight, but real, possibility.

Now, has anyone online been crediting Spirit for breaking this news?

Yes, but for the production side, not the theme park side.

What do you consider slight??

And I have credited him.

Oooh... I have! I have!

And Walt Disney Parks and Resorts wouldn't be involved if Universal was working with Marvel Studios. And even between the Florida parks it's all the same group of people. You're just jumping around for a nemesis construct that has no basis.

 

[Lee]

What do you consider slight??

Eh...10% or so, based on all I've heard.

 

[Lee]

There is no way universal will ever have the MCU.

I disagree.
It's actually quite likely.

 

[doctornick]

For those in the know... if WDW's ToT is spared, does it seem like we'll see GotG come to WDW in some other way? RnR? Perhaps someone will come to their senses and replace Stitch? Or -- crazy thought -- even a brand new attraction for that IP?

Pirates 1 was shot at USH, among other live-action Disney films.

Is there a solidified timeline for the MSHL island renovation yet?

From what i heard it may not be a total renovation but at least the Avengers mega E will have MCU....

KABOOM!

wait a sec, so they are sort of trading? MCU designs and characters to Universal and.. what does disney get?

No resistance to GotG and Ant-Man in WDW?

 

[TH88]

IF and I mean IF, TTOT was rethemed to fit GOTG, it would be a travesty. It is one of, if not the best themed ride out there. Such a creepy, yet sophisticated setting. To lose it to some generic CGI Marvel piece of s*** film theme would be a disaster.

I'm not happy about the rumor re-theme either, but let's get one thing straight- GOTG was neither generic nor a piece of... stuff. You may not have LIKED it, and that's fair. Some people don't like chocolate, does that make chocolate a sh... er.... STUFFY flavor? No.

And, it was a radical departure for Marvel, so much so that many were predicting that it would be the "jump the shark" film for the studio (Admittedly there were some who were saying the same thing about the Avengers and Ant-Man before & after, respectively, and they weren't right then, either). It was both a commercial and critical success. One can certainly see why Disney would want to implement into the parks, and why many fans would eagerly embrace it, provided they stay the heck away from the Tower.
