The epic Marvel debate massive

I'm just looking at it from a business POV. You may be right.

Indiana Jones isn't Disney and it definitely doesn't destroy Adventureland. If it thematically and naturally fits...
The funny thing is, those who complain about "lack of theme" for rides are usually first in line for the experience.
so what are they going to put then. Disney darned sure isn't doing anything new...

Pirates? Haunted Mansion? Space Mountain? Big Thunder?
I still prefer IP-free rides. These are usually much more immersive, more real, a self-contained world.
Exactly. Disney has done nothing new since Everest to my knowledge. They have relied on aquired material to spur growth.

I think we all prefer original concepts, but it's clear Disney isn't heading in that direction.

I'm sorry, but we're not allowed Marvel threads east of the Mississippi.
The third post in this thread settled this epic debate and yet it's still managed to reach seven pages of the same speculation being repeated by the same people for what feels like the 5000th time.
And that Spiderman gif is the only thing that is truly epic about this debate.

Marvel does not feel right for me either. Indy fits with Disney. Star Wars too. But Marvel feels like other ill-fitting properties, such as Barbie and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who once infested EPCOT and the Studios respectively.

Only in markets where they must pay all of the up front costs. An amazing coincidence.

But your not, because from a business point of view trying to get the rights back is a bad business decision.

That's better than the DLR. There hasn't been an original concept since the opening of DCA in 2001, I believe.

Wow, nice one.
While we are all predicting, I predict that in the next decade there will be a Marvel ride in DL and a SW ride in WDW.
Since it has reached this many pages, I suppose it is massive.

It's massive but I was expecting epicness. As with a lot of things at WDW today, the thread promised a lot and didn't deliver...but I do like that Spiderman gif.
I saw a chart that showed the value of TW's Looney Tunes holdings as each piece was reassembled. When the final piece was put back together, the value made a sharp upwards turn. I thought I saw this chart on Wikipedia but its not there. If I ever find it again, I will post a link. It's like the game of Monopoly when you buy up all the hotels. Same effect.
