Sure! I was trying to stick with an alliterative title, but this works too.How about The Simpson's Hit & Run Speedway?

Just FYI, I know you're really talking about Simpsons but since you mentioned Marvel too, the Universal Marvel rights don't have any affect on Disneyland. Disney is free to use them in DLR however they want, provided they don't use the Marvel name in the parks of course.

I know you know, but some others take what is posted around here seriously as if its gospel.

I'd like to think that people take my ramblings that seriously, but I worry that'd be wishful thinking on my part... but to clarify my earlier mention of Marvel, it was more focused that we're able to see high quality Marvel attractions that are done in a different way than Disney would.

Oh you mean like Universal producing a land like this with no real theming but cardboard cutouts
:
One thing I can say, is the no matter how I feel about Marvel Land at DCA today, at least the concept art looks a whole lot better than what I see in the picture above.

As lame and overwhelmingly late '90's as Uni's Marvel land is I think it's almost all but certain that it's going to kick Disney's Marvel land's @$$

I very specifically mentioned "attractions" in my post... and by every indication, the Spiderman attraction Universal built is WAY better than any Marvel attraction built by Disney. I'm not here to defend Universal's ability to design lands... and I'm certainly not going to compare something they built years ago to a single piece of concept art released by Disney.

I'm still reserving opinion until I see more info on Phase 2 at DCA and until GotG at Epcot opens.

The only comparison that can be made is that they both use the same characters, which isn't a comparison at all. Comparisons should be made between GotG at Epcot when it opens and Spider-Man at IoA, that's my opinion anyways.

Autopia retheme anyone? They could tie it in with the nuclear power plant, marketing it as the "fuel of the future" to help it fit the Tomorrowland theme.

Disneyland has a pretty mundane twitter account with very corporate friendly tweets. What if one day it became incredibly self mocking especially on infamous past failures and overall more snarky (just like the Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account)?

Got a link? My Google search brought up a CK Holliday on "Lego Ideas" but I didn't see anything saying it's getting released

Got my tickets for this:

Looks like a neat event, and the Bob Gurr/Tony Baxter duo should be really interesting.
