I know it's been discussed on here a few times, but to me, it just seems so obvious...
With all the talk of AVATAR, and there not being another franchise out there with market appeal, I kept thinking. EPCOT (FutureWorld) is - mainly - about advancements in technologies, and how those technologies help the world. Tony Stark (Iron Man)? The StarkExpo? The StarkExpo is a group of pavilions showcasing modern technology. Sound familiar?
Iron Man is a LOVED franchise. I honestly haven't talked to anyone who has said anything less about it than, 'It was good.'
I just think the WoL (Wonders of Life, for those like me who don't know all the acronyms) pavilion/location, is such a WONDERFUL spot for an interactive 'Expo' of modern technology, and an E-Ticket. Now what that E-Ticket would be, I'd have no idea. BUT, it is SO marketable.
'Tony Stark has arrived at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center, to showcase mankind's technological achievements!'
People would love it, 'Hey Disney's got an Iron Man ride!'
But now look, I'm a typical WDW fanboy, and I'll preach the 'stay true to the theme' or 'it doesn't fit there' gospel, all day long. But this DOES fit! And besides, Epcot is not 'EPCOT' anyway. It's a slap to Walt's face, and his biggest (and last) dream. So nothing 'fits' really, under that name.
Anyway, I know about the whole 'Disney can't do anything with Marvel this side of the Mississippi,' but could they? I guess my question is, do y'all think it's a good idea? And what will Disney have to do, to get a Marvel attraction in WDW?
