With the acqusition of Marvel by Disney today, I wonder what is going to happen to Marvel Island at Universal's Islands of Adventure. It would be cool to see the Spiderman ride at the Hollywood studios somewhere. Anyone else have any thoughts?
Should answer the question.

Yeah, but the article tempers statements with "apparentlys" and "likely tos."
While Disney will have to honor any agreement Marvel made with any other licensee, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney eventually tried to acquire the theme park rights through some kind of barter. For example, Disney has the rights to various stories or properties Uni would like to acquire, so they work out an agreement in exchange for a combo of cash and those properties. Uni gets a certain amount of time to re-create Marvel Island to be something else, and then those superheroes get incorporated into WDW, probably to bolster up DHS.
Mickey's tough. Haven't you seen Fantasmic?Maybe they will swap that silly mouse for some tough superheroes..:lol:
