To be honest, I took the word “guesses” and the limited context around it as sort of a shot.
Oh, like I was insulting him or something? Nope.

I agree. @przidentkendall. One of these possible announcements might be a partnership with Universal. Namor just started appearing in Marvel games again like Marvel Strike Force, Future Fight and Marvel Contest of Champions, so something must be going on for this change of promotion.I think we have hyped this way more than we should have. Or maybe Disney did by using the word “secret.” Lol.

I mean... this did recently pop up on Twitter.
Fair enough. I do think it's a shame there's still gonna be 2 castle parks with the same castle but I actually completely agree with your argument. Let's just change the current leadership insteadI understand what you are saying. However, changing Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom is perhaps the only thing that could unite all the Walt Disney World fans into near literal riots. Iger and Chapek can get away with a lot and have people defending it, but that one would not fly. You mention how Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland is Walt's castle. Well, Cinderella Castle is Roy's. He was the one who opened Magic Kingdom. No way it would be changed. Not even with the current company leadership.
I hope so too. He was absent in cartoons and TV shows too. So I'm pretty sure that was a issue too. Maybe they put an embargo on him too until they sorted out the rights with other studios like Universal and Legendary.Theres a bunch of mixed info on Namor --- Most of it around film rights. You have to have clairvoyance to figure it out (I don't have it). Universal thinks it owns the distribution rights, Legendary Films thinks they own the film rights, Keven Feige says its complicated, but he doesn't think Legendary has the film rights, but hasn't said anything about Universal Distribution rights..... I think the fact this is showing up in games is a separate issue which is less of an who controls it in the parks issue.... however to your point.... I so hope you are right.... I Just don't think it meets the threshold of a special project that deserves this degree of secrecy and its own hour at D23......
So it is also parks and resorts related?I was told this week that it is consumer-facing, just not related to parks & resorts. I took that to include "it's not DCL either."
Right. @lentesta , do you mean "just not..." or "not just..." And thanks for the info!So it is also parks and resorts related?
Was the rumor/rumblings of this being a company-wide rewards program debunked? That would be consumer-facing, but not just parks/resorts-relatedRight. @lentesta , do you mean "just not..." or "not just..." And thanks for the info!
Right. I'm thinking company-wide, which includes parks. That's why I think he meant "not just" (as you wrote) not "just not." Not trying to be pedantic, I promise! It's just that "just not the parks" would mean the opposite! As in, "all of Disney, just not the parks." Again, not trying to (or do I mean "trying not to") be a jerk! Just wanna know!Was the rumor/rumblings of this being a company-wide rewards program debunked? That would be consumer-facing, but not just parks/resorts-related

Good point! He meant exactly what he wrote then: "just not..." I'm accustomed to having to read people's posts twice I guess! (I should know not to second-guess Testa.)“Not DCL either” implies that he means it’s not Parks and Resorts related.
I have my doubts if Disney would be the one to do it, but there is a sizable market (NYC metro area) that could handle a Disney level single gate park. Like Tokyo, which has a weather profile similar to NYC, to an extent, they shouldn’t have to close the park seasonally or anything like that. NYC tourism would also keep the park open year round.
The problem is who would build it (IMO it would most certainly not be Disney for the same reason they wouldn’t build the fanboi fantasy that is Disneyland Texas, cannibalization) and where. NYC metro area only has one large contiguous plot of land that is/could be well served by mass transit; the Meadowlands complex. The problem there is the Giants/Jets have their new stadium there and the land itself is controlled by the state of New Jersey. MetLife Stadium + parking + and Meadowlands racetrack yields over 300 acres.
It and London are the two major affluent world cities without high quality theme parks. Some look to risky emerging markets for theme park sector growth, but the greatest treasures are closer to home, provided you have the wherewithal to do so.
