Everything I understand about the Marvel Expansion seems to be period Captain America, which actually jives far better with Hollywood then GoTG Tower.

Really, the tower is what's so confusing...

Except for the fact that Steve Rogers lives in Manhatten, not Hollywood. He fits the 1940's time period but not California unless he's visiting his buddy Tony Stark in Malibu but then it's not the 1940's. They really need to just drop the California thing already if this is the direction they're going in.

I agree - the California thing needs to be loosened. I mean it already is, only the purists are holding them accountable to the dedication messages, and to what end? The park is better for it when it just skirts the issue (see Radiator Springs).

That said, Captain America went on that USA tour. It's not much of a stretch to place him in Hollywood in that time period if that's the goal.

So, "something goes horribly wrong" at one of his USO shows?

Maybe - Suprisingly DCA has very few of those Universal storyline cookie-cutter rides. Frozen won't be nor the Mickey LPS.

Kind of hope they are more creative than that though.

When you think about it a lot rides have that point where something goes wrong. Not to the extreme they do at Universal but still :)

Also this is just another reason why it would've been better for them to wait a bit for Marvel *cough* third park *cough* and probably do something else with that area of DCA. Something that wouldn't involve what they're doing to ToT.

But didn't Disney say that the theme really had nothing to do with a specific location and is more about celebrating Hollywood movie making? That's how you could have GOTG, Captain America and any other marvel or really anything (cuz Disney is all movies) in that area?

It seems to me that other than Frozen Marvel will be pretty much replacing all of Hollywood Land and with most of Hollywood leaving using that to explain Marvel wouldn't make much sense. Once again the much better park for this is DHS but after Disney's only announced Marvel rides being rethemes I'm glad they don't have the rights in Florida. It's in much more capable hands.

Disney shouldn't save any ideas for a third park because there will never be a third park.

Eventually, just not near close enough to justify kicking the can down the road.

Unless the wheels come off the resort will be forced to move on it.

Oddly, if it were up to Iger I don't think he'd bother. Chapek seems to be into DLR's rapid growth.

Exactly, they are all about capitalizing on these hot properties right away versus a longer term plan that would have incorporated these ideas into the 3rd gate. I do think there will eventually be a third park built at the TS lot but I still feel it's decades away, long after Chappie and Iger are gone.

Too bad after Star Wars and Marvel there isn't any more imagination left in the world.

Devils advocate: Now they can do some more original ideas for a third park instead of making it the 'Islands of IP'!

I'm certain if a third park was opening with basically what we are getting now (Star Wars, Marvel, Frozen and a Mickey ride) we'd be hearing the exact same complaints. With the added bonus of why is it taking so long and why hasn't Disneyland gotten an E ticket since Indy?

I really hate the WDW model where the only true expansion is with new parks. No wonder WDW fans are chomping at the bit for a fifth gate. They've been trained it's only expansion by subtraction unless they build another half day park.

WDW's biggest mistake was AK (even if the park is My favorite). If all that investment was spread amongst their other three parks we would have had three acceptable gates going into the millennium as opposed to four in various states of disrepair and size issues.

Which is one of the blue sky ideas I proposed awhile ago...not completely a non-IP park but take some of the best properties from around the world like Mystic Point, Grizzly Gulch, lots of TDS and build a Disney from around the World park. Won't happen but that park would be amazingly fun although a thematic mess potentially.

A park with nothing both clones. Isn't that what DHS is becoming?
