I'm jealous. I want Geyser Mountain. Please WDW re-route the Pixie Hollow cash and bring it here. :Genie:
The major success of DCA and the impending arrival of Potter at Universal Hollywood has DLR expansion plans back in motion.
First, Disneyland currently has 2 E-Tickets on the fast track to be greenlit and built in Tomorrowland and Frontierland. Al Lutz says Big Thunder Ranch is the site for the Frontierland E-Ticket, and in Tomorrowland, the subs, Innoventions, and Autopia are on the chopping block. I think we may see the Tron E-Ticket in Tomorrowland.
Second, blue sky work has begun on a 3rd gate for DLR based completely on Marvel and thrills. The park will be aimed at teens and adults. Expect this project to have legs as long as Iger and his cronies are in power.
Third, parking and DVC will need to be added even if the 3rd park doesn't happen as long as DCA keeps going strong. Parking at DLR is at max capacity on most days. DCA success exacerbates that problem.

The mere idea of a third gate that's Marvel-based is getting me more excited than anybody should be this early on a Tuesday... noon? Which is like 6AM on teenage summer schedule.
They are in the way, costly to maintain, and have very low capacity. If Autopia goes, so goes the subs. And would anyone really be sad if it's replaced by a TRON E-ticket?
Ok, this is just another of the 1000's of rumors heard in the last decade? Isn't Iger leaving soon? Everyone seems to be putting a lot of stock into this.
Possibly. But he could get it going as his last decree or something. I'd love for it to happen.
I believe on another parking lot like DCA did. Meaning they'd have to build more parking garages.
Anything that gets rids of Innoventions is great for Tomorrowland.
I'd be interested to see a Marvel 3rd gate. They'd have big shoes to fill. Most of MSHI is pretty beatable, but even in a post-RSR world I don't see Disney being able to pull off something similar to Spiderman.

Heres an overhead view of the Disneyland Resort property. Although a member modified it with his own ideas on Micechat it still gives a general sense of an idea of how the resort is layed out. The "Third Park" outline is the Strawberry Fields where the Toy Story lot is currently located. I do believe when the Third park is ever built that Disney will buy the Struggling Garden Walk mall and create like a Downtown Disney East for guest to walk to when hopping to the third park. There will also be a few more parking structure built and i'm sure even more Disney owned Hotels. It will be interesting to see if any of these rumors play out in the years to come.

So if this does actually happen does everyone think they could actually theme the entire park to the Avengers??? I mean I could see a large area or two revolving around the characters but to build an entire park seems like over kill. I mean how many Disney fans do you see ripping Universal because there adding another Potter land but there ok with adding an entire park on the Avengers??? Now before you get all like what...with me. Let me say I would actually enjoy it, but don't think it would be in the best interest of Disneyland to build a third gate based on one concept that has a limited audience. And I don't care how much money it made, it still only appeals to some people.
Where have we seen that it would be an Avengers Park? A Marvel park means we'd also see the Fantasic 4, X-Men, and the rest of the Marvel Universe. In the scope of the entire Disneyland Resort, I think it could appeal to a wide enough audience.
