Why?
Why?
I would imagine if they replaced Tower of Terror with an IP like Guardians, the reaction not just from Disney fans, but the general public, would be alienating and problematic for Disney.
That said, it does need change, but changing it to an IP isn't the answer in this situation.
My comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but the general consensus seems to be that fans would have a hysterical fit should Disney add Guardians to the FL Tower. A giant space tower would look really out of place in an area that is themed to Los Angeles. Besides, the 5th dimension scene wouldn't really work with the plot that was developed for the CA version and would require a massive story change.
Potter I think is the only multipark IP (parks that are geographically close together) but what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander. I think they go the TDS (Tokyo Disney Sea) route and do Hotel Hightower and leave the IP out of it. Besides what IP out there could you really use that would fit the theme and wouldn't be out of place?
Would they even be able to use Doctor Strange as that's Marvel? I agree I don't want something shoehorned in I would rather have something like TZ (Twilight Zone) where it's seamless and actually adds to the story.The only Marvel IP I could see come close, is Doctor Strange remarkably, but even then, I don't want it shoehorned into Tower.

Yeah, they had Doctor Strange do meet and greets. So yes they can use him.Would they even be able to use Doctor Strange as that's Marvel? I agree I don't want something shoehorned in I would rather have something like TZ (Twilight Zone) where it's seamless and actually adds to the story.
That doesn't matter.Especially since Guardians is coming to Epcot.
That doesn't matter.
There was an actual stand with a Daily Bugle prop, which was really pushing it I thought. However it remained for the entire month that Dr. Strange was scheduled to do his M&G.Doctor Strange was used actually back in late 2016, and seemed to border very close to the "not allowed" game, because of referencing I think Spider-Man in one of the M&G props (that was changed almost immediately).
Also in the 4th dimension your actually supposed to be on your back facing upwards (the starfield being the sky) but the effect transitioning was never completed. Noticed the lights on the walls are sideways. So you're supposed to have exited the shaft floating up towards the sky.Thank you so much for your insight. I do understand the plot, yet always overthinks things.
That doesn't matter.
costing probably more than 400 million
The cost is real. Tron isn’t far behind either (I’m fairly certain the speedway redo is being thrown into Tron’s budget though).There's no way that Guardians will cost 400M+. But, if you do some creative budgeting, you could throw in some restaurants, placemaking, staffing costs, merch upfronts...basically, whatever you want into that budget.
I've always found theme park accounting hard to believe. Tron has already been designed, so I would imagine that WDI isn't using up much WDW Tron budget for salaries.The cost is real. Tron isn’t far behind either (I’m fairly certain the speedway redo is being thrown into Tron’s budget though).
WDI overspends on just about everything which is why budgets run high at Disney but not elsewhere.I've always found theme park accounting hard to believe. Tron has already been designed, so I would imagine that WDI isn't using up much WDW Tron budget for salaries.
The only thing I can think of is middle-men pricing. But, I find it so hard to believe that other chains can bring the price down but Disney can't.
