I don’t think there’s anything against it as long as Universal sticks to whatever criteria is written out about how the characters should be portrayed.Oops my bad, i was speaking in terms of the marvel contract..

There's also many other factors at work. In the 30s movies didn't;t have to compete with TV. In the 60s they didn't have to compete with cable. In the 70s they didn't have to compete with home video. And nowadays they have to compete with streaming. Boxoffice is hardly the only income nowdays, or how people watch it. (To give you an idea - more people saw Gone With The Wind on television on its 2-night debut then saw the film in the theaters in its entire run including reissues. So its not an apple-to-apple comparisonYes. Tickets sold are the only true denominator. Ticket prices have changed, in a constant upward mode, over the years. Box office dollars, especially after many decades of inflation, are secondary to real attendance (tickets sold) as a true indicator. Older movies have an automatic disadvantage if comparing them to a present movie's dollar box office.
Just out of curiosity, i know they can expand but any idea of just how many hoops if any they have to jump through if they wanted to? Im sure a discussion has to be had?
Doom? An E? I’m sorry that’s just funny when an actual E level drop tower exists down the road. Hulk at least has the super mega thrill factor going for it. Doom doesn’t even drop as fast as ToT. The only fast part is the launch.Basically has to be a reasonable interpretation of a character they have the rights to. It's a very broad standard, and the burden would be on Disney to prove Uni's interpretation is not true to the character. As long as Iron Man wears red and gold armor with a red light in the middle and fights bad guys, would be fine.
[Endgame spoiler incoming]
In other words, Disney has no veto to say "we don't want to makemovies anymore, make a Venom ride instead. Uni can really do whatever they want as long as the characters stay true to the source material. Just remember, MSHI is overbuilt by modern theme park standards, with three E-tickets and a C-ticket. I'm sure they see no need for a fifth ride.Iron Man or Cap

It's not an E. It's a C. D at most.Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it isn't an E

It's not an E. It's a C. D at most.
Going to use Maliboomer (as it was made by the same group who did Doom's system); and I'd classify that as a C Ticket.
With the theming of Doom, I'd say it's a D-Ticket.
Except there are sooooo many more variables to a movies’ success. Nowadays movies last about 2-3 months in a theater. The original Star Wars was in theaters for well over a year. Gone With the Wind ran for almost four years!Yes. Tickets sold are the only true denominator. Ticket prices have changed, in a constant upward mode, over the years.

The key to Domestic Box Office figures is that those are tickets sold for theater viewing. That's about as close to an apples to apples comparison that you can compare. And International box office is a fairly new phenomena so you can't rally judge older movies on that criteria. Yes, pay per view, TV, cable, dvd, streaming etc. affect how much a movie is viewed at home, but those are not domestic box office numbers. That's an entirely different factor and probably impossible to quantify over a period of time since there's no accurate reporting mechanism. I'm only talking about Domestic Box Office. The other stuff is a a somewhat different discussion, and no real public measurements exist for the entirety on many film's history, especially those older films that ran in a USA where there was a considerably smaller population base to draw from.
I’d say Matterhorn is still an E. It’s a very well done ride especially after the new Yetis.It's important to remember that "ticket classifications" were based on popularity - not "quality" or theming. It's also comparative to the entirety of the park. It's important to remember that Small World and Matterhorn were both E tickets.
Spider-Man and Hulk are both E tickets because they were built to be, and continue to be, more popular rides within the park. Doom has, and was built to have, a lower draw. Therefore, it's not an E ticket.
All rides are not created equal.
I’m really not the one to ask. Didn’t someone here do a huge write up on the contract before when you guys were still trying to say Guardians wasn’t coming to WDW?I've never read the comics, I watched some of the cartoons when I was younger so I can't really comment for sure but is there any difference between the characters in the comics and the MCU? If there is, does that mean that Universal can portray the characters as both incarnations? Obviously the actors won't be the same but are they allowed to take direct inspiration from the MCU?

Just very bumpy.

I’m just saying “were” in that they literally were E-ticket attractions. They weren’t hypothetical ones (like saying Ratatouille is an E-ticket). My point was the variance. Thrill or theming are not automatic predictors.I’d say Matterhorn is still an E. It’s a very well done ride especially after the new Yetis.

@Brian G. seems to be the man to ask but I don't think he's in the mood for hitting his head off the wall overly probably what is a stupid question.
The Doom queue and the alley leading up to the ride is great.I actually think Doom is one of the most underrated rides at Uni, BUT it' s no E ticket... (not even close)
