More man park....
And not ironman.
This was Martin's quote back several months ago when discussing the last phases of DHS expansion

I can see Bond going into a revised Movie Ride (whenever that finally happens), or maybe even a stunt show, but I don't think the whole 'drinking and sexing' part is really Disney material. Even though Indy has some of the same qualities, Bond is in a league of his own.Interesting reads - I really think Disney may make a play and it would be perfect for an amusement park as it has a loyal fan base which would generate worldwide buzz:

Back then SWL was going in Indy, phase 3 around tours and 4 around Animation.
I couldn't do more than speculate since I don't have the exact figures for the original plan.As we now seem to be getting less/smaller phases than back then has money been cut from the overall DHS project? I know TSL was cut for Avatar but has the bigger phase 3 and phase 4 money gone to Epcot?
That's never stopped other "insiders" Marni! Come on, just throw a number out there. It will be 500% higher by the third post anyway.I couldn't do more than speculate since I don't have the exact figures for the original plan.
What's Fastpass plus at now?That's never stopped other "insiders" Marni! Come on, just throw a number out there. It will be 500% higher by the third post anyway.
If it does turn out to be Wreck It Ralph, the rumored timing coincides pretty perfectly for when Nintendoland is rumored to open. Perhaps it's partially a preemptive effort to keep Universal from stealing all of the video game-based thunder?
Nintendo characters weren't that abundant in the film. I haven't seen it in a while, but I'm pretty sure it was just Bowser.Out of curiosity, I wonder what (if any) rights Universal has to prevent other local parks form using Nintendo related IPs (similar to what they had/have with Marvel) now that Universal has the rights to use Nintendo internally? I mean, Wreck It Ralph didn't depend on Nintendo characters, but they were abundant in the film and apparently Nintendo was very open to having their characters used. A Wreck it Ralph attraction could easily avoid using Nintendo characters if necessary, but to those looking, it might be noticeable if Nintendo characters are completely void from other areas where they could have potentially popped up... like in the queue or pre-ride segments. Of course, that's a assuming they would ever have a Wreck it Ralph attraction in the first place...

Definitely not enough to be noticeable if not included in an attraction, except maybe Bowser, but only if they showed Bad-Anon.The following references to Nintendo were in Wreck it Ralph:
Apparently Mario and Luigi were approved to also be in the film, but Disney couldn't find an appropriate place to put them it... agreed it's not a significant role, but it's tough to think video games and not at least somewhat think Nintendo...
- Bowser (King Koopa) from Super Mario Bros.
- A Super Mushroom from Super Mario Bros.
- Ducks from Duck Hunt (as obstacles in Fix-it Felix Jr.)
- An NES controller as the vault to Sugar Rush's CPU room.
- Mario (Mentioned by Felix in the 30th Anniversary party.)
At a D23 Expo event it was said that it was difficult dealing with Nintendo regarding Mario and Luigi. It's possible they weren't approved.The following references to Nintendo were in Wreck it Ralph:

It could also be that they were approved to be in it at first, but Nintendo may have backed out if they didn't like where they were going to be shown.At a D23 Expo event it was said that it was difficult dealing with Nintendo regarding Mario and Luigi. It's possible they weren't approved.

I know. Surprised me too.How can plans be changing that quickly? I haven't heard of plans changing that dramatically on the fly since the early Eisner years.
