So no pixar and no marvel from Uni this will be very intriguing when announced

Well, I don't think it's IJ. That just seems too obvious and Martin is making it sound like something coming out of left field. My out of the box guess is Wizard of Oz.
1. WB (who owns the rights the 1939 film), has worked with using their IP with major theme park companies before (HP in Uni), so it's not out of the question. (Most of the other Oz stories are in the public domain)
2. Oz appears in the GMR (although it the rights were still owned by MGM back when the ride opened.
3. Would fit into what Martin describes: Huge IP, potential for a big E-ticket that also isn't a thrill ride, and fits into the new "ride the movies" theme they are seemingly going for.
4. Big enough to validate the secrecy behind it, and would make for quite the drop-the-mic reveal.
Almost certainly wishful thinking though

@marni1971 - thank for all of the info you have been able to provide. Can I ask, at the moment, how certain is this phase III project? Has it been green-lit? Has money been attached? Hate to get excited if it will just come off the table in a month or two...
My money is still on IJ but an Incredibles ride in the same fashion of Spiderman would be...well....incredible =)

As far as I know it's Budgeted for and on the table. Of course I won't believe it either until something actually happens in the park.

That would mean they probably would come out with a remake of the film, which wouldn't surprise me really. BUT a Wizard of Oz attraction in the parks... now that is a new one for me. I like that idea if they can execute it well- It could possibly be one of the best dark rides ever.Well, I don't think it's IJ.

So, not Marvel (apparently). That would make it seem more likely to be an outside IP based on Martin's hints -- but (and perhaps I'm parsing words too closely) how would an outside IP be "plenty of synergy"? Disney has so much unused IP that they aren't using that it would strike me as odd to go with an outside property and pay licensing and then not make as much on any merchandise sales. Just doesn't seem Iger's way.
I know Avatar is the obvious counter example, but I think that's a unique case being the highest selling movie of all time and because the conservation fit with DAK. Sure, LOTR for example is a huge, loved property -- but would it really be that much "better" than an Indiana Jones ride?
I'm absolutely befuddled at what this could possibly be. Right now, I'm guessing a copy of the POTC ride from Shanghai. That's synergy, that's an E-ticket but not a thrill ride, and there could be some details that need to be worked out if Shanghai has some exclusivity for it. It wouldn't the first time they use Captain Jack in DHS.

Does Indiana Jones and the Lost Expedition ever keep popping up or is the idea dead and buried?

Curious about this too. Those concepts looked amazing!

Big movie this year with a sequel coming that could sell merchandise and create synergy.
How about the Jungle book?
Although I think something like that would be a better fit for DAK. Actually I wouldn't mind a nice dark ride for DAK. They can use the shanghai pirates ride and retheme it to a Jungle book ride based in India
Of course it would make the jungle cruise at MK look even more dated

Wouldn't be that out of left field...the concepts exists

Well, Martin didn't say the project would be "out of left field", just that he can't say more until it becomes public and then we'll "understand". Most of us are jumping to the logical conclusion that it is because a deal is being worked out with some outside group regarding the IP.

Unless they have plans to get rid of probably the "headline" scene in GMR(WIzard of Oz), it seems odd to have an "E" attraction based on the Wizard of Oz, on top of what is already in GMR. Not to mention that the already decades old scenes in GMR would look ever worse when compared to a new Oz attraction.Well, I don't think it's IJ.

I want Zootopia as the 3rd IP. And I'm not sorry about it.

Sorry was responding to another poster who stated that, not meant to say Martin suggested it....

Maybe this new ride will just replace GMR.... there, solved that problem!
(we all know they'd rather replace a ride then build a new one anytime they can)
