If and when it all comes out you'll understand why.

I'd be shocked. To have a Star Wars land/planet and LOTR? It'd be incredible. Idk what they'd pick and choose. Like, the Shire or Rohan or Gondor? If they used both the Shire and Gondor, that would be a huge portion of the park.

I'm getting ahead of myself though. All wishful thinking.

Yes it would. JRR Tolkien had a dislike for Walt Disney because he would dumb down classic literature to make cartoons. I believe he had it in his will that Disney could not touch his work. But never say never :)

Tolkien forbade Disney from using his works for film, plays, or merchandise. But maybe, if Star Wars land looks un-Disneylike, Tolkien's people will change their mind?

I really think this is the big test for Disney. They messed up their chance with Harry Potter, and Universal made it incredible (from what I've seen, still have yet to visit). If they prove to outside properties that they can tactifully and skillfully create a immersive world, things like LOTR could maybe arrive?

That just what kept coming to me when what would be a huge surprise and that would be. I just throwing it out there and i have no idea what the new one will be. I am just interested in seeing what else will happen at WDW.

I always wondered about the details of that. Disney did have the rights to do a LOTR movie in the late 60's but let it lapse.

I'm still thinking it has to be IJ but the problem is that makes too much sense...

And that doesn't fit with Martin's statement "I can't say anything more due to the nature of the project." This really makes is sound like either a Marvel character that Disney doesn't have the rights to at the moment, or an outside IP. Are there any other IP's that Disney has a connection to, that would be totally their to use?

It would be kind of strange to see new marvel attractions go in to two different parks around the same time. Though I guess we already have toy story and Nemo in two different parks. I'm not really sure what else it could be at this point unless they're on the verge of acquiring a big name ip.
Edit: It would be pretty cool if it were a GMR like dark ride of all of pixar/Disney animations greatest movies. Kind of like ow Shanghai has scenes from various popular movies in Voyage to the Crystal Grotto.

Maybe they're getting Captain America, so he and Indy can fight Nazis at the park together.

I can see them trying to get Iron Man back. He isn't used at Universal, and it's not like they're ever getting Spider-Man (unless something happens to the ride), X-Men, or Fantastic Four.

I think they could possibly try to re-negociate the deal so that Disney could use characters that aren't used at IoA. A Hulk-less Avengers ride could potentially make sense with the way things are currently in the MCU.

Or this is wishful thinking and I just REALLY want Marvel rides at DHS.

Probably the latter.

It'd have to be without Hulk and Cap, since they use Cap in Meet and Greets at Universal. I doubt they'd do anything major with Thor, since his stuff is cosmic, and they already have Star Wars.
