Over time that should subside. It's just because you're a new member once you consistently post and build up I'm sure that'll stop. There is a help section if you go to the forum list it should be one of the top sub-forums.This comes as off topic, and I didn't know if there was a help section, but why are some of my posts waiting for moderator approval? Is it because I'm new, and will it change over time? I feel so silly.
Ah, thank you!!

The idea of cloning flight of passage to different IP themes is a good idea. Did Star Tours predate back to the future at universal? They seemed like identical ride experiences when I first did them in the early/mid 90’s.Big Hero 7
On this Flight of Passage clone, Hiro offers you a ride on Baymax, but, once Hiro's nabbed, you're now committed to following along with the rest of the gang on a dizzying flight from San Fransokyo down California's Big Sur into a heroic battle in Los Angeles.
Displacing Fairfax Fare on Sunset Blvd. in Disney Hollywood Studios, the frontispiece of the attraction is California 60's big public works. This will go nicely with the rethemed Rock 'n Rollercoaster into the Incredicoaster, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror into the Doctor Strange Tower of Terror and the Theater of the Stars playing a longer and more elaborate Guardians Awesome Mix Tape Live -- all kosher with the current Universal contract
Be shrunk and seated on an omnimoving march of ants and you aim Wasp's stinger gun mounted to your wrists at a villian's army of robotic insects explode on the giant screens.
Stingers sounded to me a lot like Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. The targets would be harder to make modifiable to new IP, but MidwayMania and its screens seem like something that could be changed quickly. The queue for TSMM would be much more difficult to change. One thought I have about the Void and VR in general is how quickly it could be transitioned to an additional attraction, or how it could be built with 4 or 5 different adventures pre-loaded. So Monday is Iron Man, Tuesday Thor, Wednesday Spidey, Thursday Dr. Strange, Friday Captain America, etc. Instead of getting someone once, you make them want to do it 5 times! I really like the multiple experiences at Star Tours, and I think it would be possible for other attractions as well.Big Hero 7

Edit: at -> as
A very unique choice off the bat and something that I wasn't expecting. I would have liked to know some details of where it would be located in Hollywood Studios, what the purpose of it would bring to the park, etc but otherwise you did a good job of skirting around the contract with something that really could stand on its own and half the audience might not even know it's Marvel.Combo Man: The Experience! (Sponsored by Combos)
Coming soon to Hollywood Studios is an EMV dark ride starring Combo Man: Comic fanatic and Combos lover (wiki page here). Supervillain team A.I.M (who I think I can use) are building a weapon capable of destroying Australia (if it was a threat to America, then every other superhero would try to stop them), and it's up to you to join Combo Man to use his dozens of abilities to take down A.I.M and destroy the weapon. Ending in an epic battle with MODOK (can I use him?) where he knocks over the weapon and gets arrested, another victory for Combo Man!
Bonus: Dr. Doom's Fearfall will be rethemed to The Pym Particle, where the dropping element will be used to simulate growing and shrinking on a whim.
You just replaced Imagination so nanchalantly that you almost made my inner pursuit have a mini-strokeHoward the duck: Daydreamers
This shooter dark ride will replace Imagination, when a troubled superpowered kid who is hinted to be a mutant (so that way universal doesn't think it's an xmen tie in) creates an alternate universe representing his mind, it's up to Howard the Duck and the guests to enter this world and save the kid. In this world, guests will encounter classic literary characters, long gone disney park characters, and a mysterious force called the dark hunter. Guests shoot at obstacles to help rescue the characters from the dark hunter and to get to the kid and help him with his troubles.
Bonus: Ant Man: Race against The Ghost will replace storm force acceleration and will be universal's first test track style ride. It will use screens and physical effects to make it seem like guests are chasing against The Ghost in high speeds and being shrunk and grown.
Though I will say Howard the Duck was fantastic and a hilarious choice. An alternate universe though I could almost see this replacing Stitch or Buzz in a way in Tomorrowland, I feel like it would fit better over there (but Guardians is in Epcot so what do I know) Nevertheless, nice job.
This attraction sounds unique, another one that is way out of the box for Marvel - that being said I question putting a stunt show where you punch animals in a park about animal conservation and protection lol -- might be a bit jarring. That being said I'm assuming this is taking the place of Finding Nemo to go into Dinoland U.S.A? Never said, but ultimately this is inspired, a bit more thought into the location though could have gone a long way.The Adventures of Ka-Zar
Coming soon to Animal Kingdom, the wildest hero of Marvel Comics: Ka-Zar! This wild man brings the unexplored regions of the Savage Land to Orlando in the most amazing, specutacular stunt show since WaterWorld, complete with volcano eruptions, crashing airplanes, warring tribesmen, ape men, appearances from Shanna the She-Devil and Zabu the sabretooth, and an exciting finale in which the stage is invaded by life-sized Devil Dinosaur, forcing Ka-Zar and his fellow allies to start punching out dinosaurs!
Bonus - Ant-Man's Particle Pusher - Replacing Storm Force Acceleration, in a new should building, a fast-paced dark ride/coaster, like a mix of Tron Lightcycle Power Run and Adventure Thru Inner Space.
Ah a Disney Springs void attraction - very cool! Something like this might be a low(er) budget way of trying out some of Marvel's properties without having to resort to 100-300 Million dollar investments in theme parks. I appreciate the thought into this, something that might work out really well, and the MagicBand integration is nice, but what about people coming in from Orlando who aren't staying at Disney? Something to keep in mind, but the thought was great.Defend New York
Leveraging Disney's successful VOID virtual-reality venture at Disney Springs, guests travel, virtually, from a re-imagined Launch Bay area in Disney Hollywood Studios to New York to become one of the Defenders to battle the Hand and save New York City. Guests are in teams of four (as in the Star Wars DS experience), randomly assigned to Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and the Iron Fist (your magic band & MDE account will prevent repeats until you've experienced each "hero"). The heroes battle villains from the Hand, ultimately confronting Madam Gao, with the success of the mission depending on our heroes teamwork.
Ant Man & The Wasp
This screen based attraction takes you flying through different cities chasing villains, with multiple jarring size changes along the way.
I wouldn't be surprised if this eventually happened. The way they can get away with it is...well, Dr Strange is a doctor, Wonders of Life used to be about medicine/health, Dr Strange should replace Wonders of Life!
I like the use of Wakanda, but having Africa already as a land in Animal Kingdom, where would you have room for this? Would there be a cityscape or would it be the wilderness surroundings without the city? I do like the thought though as it could be an interesting way to work around the contract, I'd just think the sentences could have been used a bit more efficiently to get your points across, nice work though!
Oh man haha another out of the box character! 3mph might be too intense! Should bring that speed down a littleThe Seas with Stingray and Friends
Replace the similarly titled Nemo attraction, guests can join aquatic superhero Stingray on a high octane omnimover ride!
This thrilling superhero attraction has a top speed of 3mph!!!
This exciting new addition will help increase guest interest in the seas pavilion allowing Imagineers to convince higher ups to allow them to give the aquarium section of the building a much needed update and enhancement bringing it back to its former Living Seas glory (if not better) with IP only in the ride itself.
Bonus
The Captain America diner will be replaced with the Big Bites Diner themed to Ant Man and the Wasp featuring oversized food item props/decorations and giant sized meals meant to feed 2-3 people instead of just one.
Everyone seems to be putting Marvel in Epcot so I guess I should just stop complaining about the purity of the park and just accept it being a Marvel park in the future. It's a fun idea, it would get me to ride the seas again rather than just going into the aquarium or skipping it entirely that's for sure.
Big Hero 6 er 7! Very nice way of skating the contract - a really good film and would fit very well in DHS. I like how you took the time to also extend that area into a Marvel land of sorts, got a good realm of possibilities there even though ToT is one of my favorites as is, it would be intriguing how Doctor Strange would fit. Rock n Roller Coaster I wouldn't mind seeing change - Guardians or Incredibles either one. Nice job!Big Hero 7
