Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

[doctornick]

I wish Marvel/Disney would start to develop characters that aren't under the Universal contract umbrella. This would give Disney the choice to use them at the WDW or not.

Speaking of which, Big Hero 6 are apparently free from the Uni contract and already have a presence at Epcot. Maybe something that can be combined with GotG in some way....

I have said it before, but I'll say it again- stick Big Hero Six in Wonders of Life. Hiro and Baymax can talk about medical robots and/ or diagnostic techniques, Honey Lemon can talk about biochemistry, Fred can talk about physical fitness, and Wasabe can talk about the use of lasers and electromagnetic fields in treatments.

THIS! BH6 needs more representation and this is the most perfect way to put it into EPCOT. GoGo Tomago could also help Fred with the physical fitness section.

Agreed 100%, it's enough of sci-fi plus real world stuff they could use.

Quite. They did plenty of research to make everything sound plausible (with, of course, the exception of the Not-Stargate).

Still want Inside Out replacing Cranium Command though.

IMO inside out would be better for a 4D movie in the Magic Eye Theater.

Yeah, I think you could play around a lot with the effects in there. I like Cranium Command, but lets move on to new concepts. I think you could do a lot with Big Hero 6's premise of science nerds when focused on a specific topic like health and medicine.

Disney will use GotG at ToT in DCA as a test. If it does well there, they'll bring it to DHS at WDW. It's the sensible thing to do.

no, GotG is going Epcot.

It's such a popular IP there's more than enough theme for two parks to benefit.

 

[lazyboy97o]

There is also a belief that GoTG cannot be used more than incidentally for an attraction. Orlando United is saying they can't and Robert from TPI outside of a deal. You guys are pretty sure they can do whatever they want beyond calling it 'Marvel'? Or believe a deal has already occurred?

I still think any chance to use Guardians of the Galaxy goes completely out the window once marketing for Avengers: Infinity War really gears up. There's just no way anyone could say they are not related while a massive marketing campaign is saying otherwise. This, along with the demand for faster and cheaper, would also explain the focus on repurposing an existing facility.

The name. That's an interesting one.

I've heard nothing directly naming it either "Marvel" or "Guardians".

Using the Marvel name is definitely out. That is exclusively Universal's to use.

DHS is getting a third IP with Star Wars and Toy Story, but it isn't GotG.

Team-ups are different. I mean, using your logic, Disney isn't allowed to use Phineas & Ferb in the park, because they teamed up with them in Mission: Marvel.

It looks DREADFUL. I actually laughed when I saw that ridiculous flying dog during the trailer before Finding Dory. Felt kinda bad...all the 8-year olds stared at me a bit...

Is "Brazzle Dazzle Day" going to show up at one point?

.

If this is true, then all the GoTG rumors would have to be bogus. No way Disney starts planning a major attraction if they don't have the legal side figured out.

Nope. It's not a musical and the only thing it seems to keep from the original is that there's a kid named Pete and he has a dragon. Live-action dragon's name is even spelled as Elliot with one T versus the original being Elliott.

I'm going to skip this movie until it gets a DVD release. Then again I remember falling asleep when I first see it when I was young.
