Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Marvel superhero island is actually one of the best theme park lands I know. Heck. Literally all of the lands at IOA overrule other parks. Even toon lagoon is massively well done.

What happened to Amazing Adventures of Spider-man in Universal studios Japan has nothing to do with what will in Islands of Adventure. I am mentioning this because I have a feeling certain people in this thread might that think it does.
The Marvel contract in Japan actually had certain amount of years written in the contract unlike Islands of Adventure has with Marvel. The Marvel Contract in Japan is like how the Simpsons theme park rights contract is with it being a certain amount of years.

They can upgrade it all they want, which we've already seen. The rebuilt Hulk coaster isn't the same aesthetic theming as the original

Rumors suggest Universal has lost rights to do future Hulk films. Seems Marvel and Disney own everything now except Spiderman

Not a rumor and I hope Disney doesn't "star wars" the franchise but Universal still has Marvel theme park rights east of the Mississippi so they move on. Warner has Potter movie but the park still runs on butterbeer sales

As long as we have Doom's forever, I don't care.

It’s seems Comcast has the upper hand in Orlando and I can’t imagine them wanting to do anything to change the trajectory. And that massive check from
Disney to get control back doesn’t exit. Disney has too much IP worth mining ( in their mind) at a cheaper cost. Their cost to put new stuff in parks is already well higher than Universal.

Why doesn’t universal build a marvel land at their new park?
The contract very specifically limited them to Superhero Island. That had two years to expand to other places and pick up more Marvel heroes if they wanted to, but they didn't. And so, what they have is all they will ever have, unless maybe they expand Superhero Island itself.

I could see filling in the lagoon off Hulk and being SuperMarvelLand just to roast the folks down the road........
one of the most succesful Marvel Superhero Movies right now is an animated Spider-man movie. A sequel to an already succesful animated spiderman movie.
After seeing what DCA has done. Superhero Island remains fine and still the best timeless use.
It will become particularly important as Disney changes gears and eventually reboots with different cast., toons, comics, games etc..

Superhero Comics could stage a hostile takeover of next-door Newspaper Comics...
Jus' sayin'
Id rather newspaper comics takeover lol. Get Disney owned ips out of Universal, also goes for Simpsons. Spiderman is great ride but thats the only ride Id hate to lose in that land. You could probably retheme entire land to pretty awesome fast n furious themed land and get rid of Supercharged in USH
I'll gladly take Spider-Man by itself over literally everything Disney has done with the Marvel property in their parks.
Honestly not sure why anyone would still have enough faith in them at this point to want the rights going to them.As for more F&F attractions, no thanks. I'm good.
Different company holding it but Flash Gordon is already there!

Yeah. It is unreal that the Hong Kong stuff and the Rocknrollercoaster retheme could look like something a regional park would do.
Webslingers is baffling too.
If Minions can change the gun sitaution and fix the lag, it will be good for what it needs to, putting something in a small space that fills the time at a low cost to be replaced within ten years and it has a good accessability and excellent capacity.
We need the next big Universal Studios film or partnership to do something useful to the large building that is Fast and Furious and something creative to replace Fallon. By then Bourne will definitely need replaced.
Fallon, Bourne and Fast, are not exactly going to sell T-shirts and action figures.
T2-3D may have been a bit dated, but ultimately it was awesome enough on its onw accord to be appreciated and understood. Robots, like dinosaurs were never go out of style. Tornados, are always cool and it had no limitations on accessability, and neither did the often breaking but funny Disaster leftovers of Earthquake.
The Simpsons has appeal but it is in rough shape. It sells though. Just not nearly as much as it used to.
Revenge of The Mummy is a great indoor coaster, but the merch is more all classic monsters. At least the ride supports its purpose.
Minions and Potter really holding down the fort for merchandise.
i disagree, im sick of minions stuff. but its watevs

Why don’t they expand it? Seems like it would be a smash hit. They’ve shown they’re willing to invest in it with the massive refurbs on Spider-Man and Hulk.
