Just a quick post before I head out for the day (you awake yet, Lee?) ... but there are already legal issues with Disney's wrapping of the monorail because again as we all -- even JT -- understand, Disney has no rights to use UNI's Marvel characters in any/all parks east of the Mississippi in perpetuity.
Well, UNI Legal contacted Disney and threatened a major legal action and informed them that this was a breach of contract and that the monorail couldn't run. Disney Legal responded that the contract only covered use in theme parks and the 'rails are transportation.
They are still going back and forth, but it was made very clear to Disney that they could not, would not be allowed to run the wrapped train in EPCOT because that IS a theme park ... and UNI is still not happy with it running at all with images of the Hulk on the side. So, it will be interesting to see just what happens.
~Some of us DO know what is going on ... and we don't wear spandex either!~
