Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

[ford91exploder]

Disney wI'll have to finance universals third Florida theme park (not volcano bay)

Or since Disney appears to be searching the figurative couch for money, Comcast will ending up owning them after all...

 

[UpAllNight]

I drool over the prospect of Universal creating a fully fledged Avengers ride, I just wonder what system they'd go for. Maybe a similar but adapted version of Gringotts...Kuka Arm?

Please theme park gods, let this one happen and let the Tower of Terror idea die a death.

I can't see that if this moves forward it won't impact both Flordia and California versions.

If one of the main reasons to change was to avoid the licensing fee it would not make sense. At least now you are paying to license 2 rides and splitting costs between TDO and TDA. If DHS was left alone Orlando would have to foot the bill completely.

Although this reason always seemed to be the secondary or tirtiary impetus to shoehorning Marvel on the cheap

What I'm surprised with is that this decision has no bearing on the Paris version which also uses Twilight Zone. Why do they get to keep it huh?

 

[Mike S]

Because they'd have a new E ride on steroids to promote. Unless Pets jumps the queue at the other end of the Land.

Trade-off: Paris holds onto every dilapidated mess far past their expiry dates.

Are you calling The Twilight Zone a dilapidated mess?

My currently goal in life is to get back to WDS before Armageddon finally bites the dust, which it likely never will. In 2050, it will still be there, confusing whatever poor souls wander into it.

Can proudly say I was one of those confused souls in January!

Because it isn't a licensing issue?

It's great to see Florida Maintenance (i.e. the lack therof) standards spreading to the rest of Disney Operated parks worldwide

It's the reverse. Paris's is finally getting better, but they set the standard for how low things can go.

If you think WDW is rock bottom you'd be surprised how far things still have to go!

Well so far we have not had ride vehicles falling off tracks and killing people like they did in DL under Paul Pressler, But Chappie's new he needs time to really degrade the maintenance to the point where maintenance is duct tape, WD-40 chewing gum and bailing wire.

It certainly is an "interesting" experince.

The WDSP park is just so sad.

Its better than it was.
One of Eisners bigger errors.

I think the contrast to the gorgeous main park next door doesn't help at all but ride wise it currently arguably has a better lineup than DHS.

Regarding Avengers, can anyone in the know say if this is just an idea at the moment, or if it is in active development?

It's been in active development for awhile from what I know
