They could spend a lot of money and rebuild everything at Epcot that was beloved, but removed, but they won't. You're being naïve if you think they will. Perseverance is valuable and commendable, stubbornness will just come back to bite you.
OMG yes.........you are with Maclane and need to get out of the towerjust for a laugh, turn the TOT into nagatomi plaza from die hard with disney characters. who doesn’t want to hear mickey say “yippie kai yay....” (you know the rest)
That is literally all they care about now. You are correct. That's why many of us "old folks" lament the changes that have taken place in the company since the last of "Walt's people" left. Bob Iger's sole job is to increase shareholder value. Sadly, that's just how things are now and they will never go back to the way things were.
I don't think disney will read it, and if they do, they wouldn't really care.
The last Ice Age film was a pretty big flop, even overseas where they inexplicably love those films. I wouldn't count on any more. I also don't know that Disney will want even more animation companies on its payroll after the merger. Jim Hill's recent animation podcast goes into pretty decent detail about the current situation with the Fox-owned animation studios.I don't know of any Fox properties that would be ripe for rides today. In the past Independence Day and Ice Age could have made good rides, but both properties are a bit long in the tooth now. Maybe Ice Age is still semi-relevant since they keep pumping out sequels. The obvious answer is Avatar but Disney didn't even wait for that to be an actual DIsney property
I don't know. Could you maybe make a Planet of the Apes ride? I'm not sure what that would be.....
My best guess is that since the anastasia musical is so popular, maybe disney will port that to their parks, but besides that I have no clue.

It did, but box office on sequels is usually compared to the series overall. The last one made half of what the previous two did. That's a pretty precipitous drop-off. It also cost almost twice what the first did to make.
Mary, did you include in your charts how much it would cost Universal to retheme all of those rides and signage and marketing collateral? Did you account for the payments that they make to Disney/Marvel for the license? Did you account for how much they make in admissions because people want to see those attractions at Islands of Adventure? Moving and retheming rides costs millions of dollars. Multiply that by the number of rides you want changed. Who is paying for this? Do you think Comcast/Universal is going to do anything to benefit their competitor? Universal is enjoying a large income for a very small investment. Disney is content to continue to collect that payment. Disney does not need Marvel in WDW. They have plenty of things going on now. It is fantastic that you have dreams and spirit but you have to be realistic as well.
In a place where they turn off the shark popping out in Nemo because it scared little kids, I doubt we'll ever see something truly scary in the parks again (at least until there's a change in management). That is an adorable Xenomorph, though!
I need nemo shark footage now, I never heard of this.
