Starting with the first topic would be best....
Truly a legend in your own mind(s).....
Here's why I think Disney will eventually get back Marvel theme park rights. Notice how they have already begun he system acquisation of rights. They are putting Humpty Dumpty back together again, one piece at a time and systematically, stating with film rights, character by character, studio by studio. From Wikipedia:
"In June 2010, Marvel Entertainment set up a television division within Marvel Studios, headed up by Jeph Loeb as Executive Vice President, under which Marvel Animation will be operated. On October 18, Disney bought the distribution rights for The Avengers and Iron Man 3 from Paramount Pictures. Disney, however, purchased the distribution rights before Marvel's "5 picture deal" with Paramount was complete, thus Paramount's logo was for both films instead of the Disney logo.
"In April 2012, The Walt Disney Company China, Marvel Studios and DMG Entertainment announced an agreement to co-produce Iron Man 3 in China. DMG will partly finance, produce in China with Marvel, and handle co-production matters. DMG will also distribute the film in China in tandem with Disney. On August 22, 2011, at Disney's behest, the Studio dismissed most of its marketing department: Dana Precious, EVP of Worldwide Marketing; Jeffrey Stewart, VP of Worldwide Marketing and Jodi Miller, Manager of Worldwide Marketing. Disney markets Marvel's films. The 2010s also saw Marvel reclaim the rights to characters that had been licensed out to other studios since the late 1990s, including gaining Blade from New Line Cinema. In August 2012, it was reported that 20th Century Fox was willing to allow the film rights to the superhero Daredevil and his related characters revert to Marvel and Disney, a contracted stipulation that required Fox to begin production on a new Daredevil film by late 2012. Fox had approached Marvel about extending the deadline and becoming a co-financier for the film, but was rebuffed. On October 10, 2012, the Daredevil film rights reverted to Marvel Studios, leaving the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Ghost Rider film rights as the only franchises still left at other studios. The only non-Disney studios that Marvel currently still has contracts to are 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures.
"Upon the release of The Amazing Spider-Man, Disney and Sony negotiated a two-way agreement. Disney would receive full merchandising ancillary rights to future Spider-Man films, whereas Sony purchasing out Marvel's film participation rights.
"By April 2013, Marvel Studios will move its production facilities from Manhattan Beach to Glendale, California, a location already populated by other Disney divisions."

I stopped reading after this part. Wikipedia is probably the worst excuse for a source on the internet.
You're knowledgable enough to know if anything there is true or untrue. Just read through it and make correction, where applicable!

No, thanks. I really just wish you'd let this go. At least for six months, please.
You're one of the people I respect here. So, okay, unless there's news.
Next subject... There's going to be a new Star Wars movie EACH year, starting 2015!

What exactly is your position on a fifth gate? If it's that it is currently being built on the plot of land you showed in the other thread, the no, you are wrong. If it is that they will eventually build a fifth gate, then I would say yes, it's likely that they will eventually build one just not in the near future.
