Guardians of the Galaxy Disney Attraction?

[Scott W.]

And two, The Twilight Zone, to agree or disagree; is not as big as it was. Its memorable, but the older it gets, it becomes more dated; to where its almost irrelevant in the public eye. Of-course, it can change if the film reboot if it comes out, is successful but that is a long shot.

I wouldn't say it's dated at all. I'd say it was way ahead of it's time when it was made, using technology that's only really being starting to get used now like the trackless vehicles and it's one of the very few thrill rides that I would say is completely random. It also has the benefit of being set in 1939 so it's timeless plot wise.

Irrelevant may be a better word but it's a self contained ride, you can enjoy it without ever having watched a single episode of The Twilight Zone.

So what do you guys think about the overlay? It can't just be Tower of Terror featuring GOTG, right? It couldn't possibly be that bad... :-/

I'm thinking Nova Corps Tower retheme, and only the ride system will be reused.

Also missed in the thread was Spirits quip that Uni fans are slowly becoming their own brand of Pixie Dusters but Wand Wavers....thanks for taking the licks Mad Dog, I'll share them with you brother!

As said the author had not released this kind of detailed info in a long while and I'm sure it was a deliberate plant. I put my trust in Martin in that Sunset is doomed. Pretty much Said that Animation Courtyard is longterm Phase 4. I would not put it past then to use RnRC as a Gateway to Super Hero Land...

But ToT, still makes Zero Since! Zero. Stupid! But if Tower Goes you can be sure RnRC is coming with it and a new Land will be born....

Nice post. I wholeheartedly agree. ....The one big difference between us "Wand Wavers" from the "Pixie Dusters", is that we have a good sense of humor on OU and we can laugh at ourselves. One reason this is a "generally" friendly forum (though we have our dark side of the force moments once in a blue moon)

Like what?

Its alot but here

"niversal?
First of all, in exchange for dropping the clause from the existing contract that gives Universal exclusive theme park rights to Marvel characters East of the Mississippi, Disney is willing to let Universal continue to have the exclusive licensing of all the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Spider-man universe characters, thus freeing up Disney to be able to use their current Marvel Cinematic Universe characters at Walt Disney World.
Second, they want Universal to stop using the name "Marvel" in the park, as well as their marketing. So instead of Marvel Super Hero Island, it would simply be shorted just to "Super Hero Island", or whatever alternate concept Universal may dream up.
The third and final point is said to involve the future of The Hulk character, and I'm told Disney is still willing to make a deal with just the first two points, as this issues is more complicated than just the theme parks, as it involves the studio side of things because Universal Studios still hold film rights to any solo film about The Hulk character, while the Hulk is allowed to be used as much as Disney wants without Universal saying a peep about it as a guest character in any other Marvel film like The Avengers as well as being confirmed to be in the next Thor film as well. Meanwhile Universal Orlando is unlikely to want to drop the Hulk theme as they will soon be reopening The Incredible Hulk coaster."

Screamscape: The bargain basement site of theme park rumors.

 

[Ryan]

Well when you literally throw everything you got at the wall...

 

[Mad Dog]

I once toyed with the idea of sending Screamscape a bogus rumor anonymously and see if they would post it. But I never did it. I just figured they're not worth my time.

 

[graspthesun]

If Viacom is doing so poorly and The Twilight Zone is a has been IP, I wonder if it would be cheaper for Disney to just buy the Twilight Zone rights outright and end the licensing agreement.

 

[AzaJ12345]

Has anyone mentioned timescales for when this is supposed to happen? Assuming this is relatively imminent to catch GotG while it's still relevant then DHS is going be a bigger building site than Uni's 3rd gate...

 

[bob albert]

I don't even understand what universal would be getting if that deal were true. Can they not do xmen now? I thought they could make any marvel rides. And who is going to care about fantastic 4 at this point?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Viacom, Twilight Zone popularity, and any royalties have no play in this discussion. I've been told Viacom does not get a cut of gate revenue.

I totally agree and I also think non-Wand Wavers are more accepted here than a non-pixie duster would be accepted over there. Like everyone here knows I love all three parks and think every park has its strengths and weaknesses, but yet I feel very welcomed here. We are an all inclusive family here

Huzzah !........On the family part, expect me for dinner at 7. A rib eye steak, Guinnness, and strawberry shortcake will be fine.

Yeah, just no

I don't do rib eye steak, how about smoked Brisket? Also we are a Yuengling house Now Strawberry shortcake I do make homemade, so I could do that one

 

[Parkscope Joe]

... wand wavers?

(Yuengling. Your Pennsylvania roots show) Heh, I'll work with you to make it work.

Actually a pixie duster is someone who accepts any and everything Disney does. The type of Disney fan no sane person wants to associate with. In fact they're a very small minority in the Tower of Terror thread over there. Maybe one or two people and I've jumped on them with no mercy for defending this insanity.

Yeah I posted something on the facebook group and everyone is just saying nope, hope they don't do this. They also sometimes complain about other stuff too. So I guess they don't fall under pixie duster, but to me they are way into Disney for my taste.

So, I can understand their planning from a timing aspect since GOTG2 is due out May '17 and they need to get something going now given their lack of speed on most things. Still can't wrap my head around TOT other than DCAs is in the area they are thinking of putting Marvel so to clone it to DHS is more of an afterthought. But to me, TOT is a modern day HM. It has that timeless vibe, re-rideability, and great theming that doesn't need Twilight Zone to be effective. The only ride that makes Sunset less immersive IMHO is RR although it is somewhat tucked into the back of that area. Heck, I could see an overlay of that much easier and cleaner than TOT but I understand the idea of making one overlay for both coasts (a'la Star Wars in DL Tomorrowland and DHS).
