Perhaps they only use the area to work on new elements or training new drivers? In that case, if the show is to close in the near future, the additional practice lot wouldn't be necessary. They can just practice the show itself in the arena until the thing shuts down.

I know. With its fanbase, it can work for Star Wars to have its own land... but Toy Story? I would've preferred the Pixar Place direction, no matter how standard the exterior. Everything else I listed had the potential to be immersive sigh.

Does Iton Man have a right over at Uni?

He's an Avenger and the whole "Avenger family" can't be included because of The Incredible Hulk. Also, I'm pretty sure he's on a billboard on The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, during the levitation part.

Yes, since he is part of the Avengers, Uni has the rights.

Yep. And an Avengers ride is being planned for MSHI.
I think The Incredibles would be enough of a superhero presence in DHS. A superhero land wouldn't work imo.

But the money, site and construction time-slot is more or less set, correct?
A scenario where they still have some time and the money... now for the best proposal to bubble to the top.

Great to have a quote from a Universal Exec on this, must bookmark this post. Of course the nay-sayers will just say that he will change his tune as soon as Disney offers enough....
or when the contract expires.
When does the contract expire?
Pretty much. I wouldn't be totally shocked if Carsland didn't happen in any form but it's a strong contender.

It doesn't. Uni does not own the rights but they license them for use in an exclusive territory. There is no expiration date.

I take it you've never been to Cars Land. Saying they shouldn't bring Racers to WDW because it already has Test Track is like saying they shouldn't have added Buzz Lightyear because they already had an Omnimover ride with the Haunted Mansion.
And it's called Cars Land because Cars Land is more than just the town of Radiator Springs. Cars Land recreates much of Carburetor County, including the famous Ornament Valley area. The entrance queue of the signature E Ticket, Radiator Springs Racers, is labeled as the "Gateway to Ornament Valley" as you leave the town of Radiator Springs and enter the next six acres of Cars Land.
A more accurate name for the land would be to call it Carburetor County. But Cars Land was more catchy and cute. When you visit it will make more sense.

@marni1971 So it seems like Carsland is a possibility (maybe 35% chance?). Any word on a possible Indiana Jones attraction/area?
I'd love to see an Indiana Jones River Adventure although I must confess that the style would likely be too similar to Jungle Cruise/Kali River Rapids.

I went to DLR right before this opened so I never got to go. It just looks absolutely incredible, classic Disney with modern tech. Disney set a high bar for themselves to surpass with DHS. I'm confident they will with SWL and whatever else they add.I take it you've never been to Cars Land. Saying they shouldn't bring Racers to WDW because it already has Test Track is like saying they shouldn't have added Buzz Lightyear because they already had an Omnimover ride with the Haunted Mansion.

Really, NO end to the licencing? It seem like that would have been worked out to evaluate the value of the characters at regular intervals and then continue the contract at a newly arranged fee. Or is it like you have them for 99 years, just pay 'X' amount of dollars each year?
Personally, I don't think WDW needs Marvel when it has so many underdeveloped IP's that are free for them to use. I just pray it that the IP they use next is not Toy Story or Cars. Give the villains some love with a great dark ride/coaster combo. If it has to be Pixar, I hope they use the Incredible's!
