MSHI Expansion?

[AustinT]

He does appear six times on Spider-Man ride and has the street named after him already.

EDIT: And a couple references in the new Hulk queue.

Right, I know he's all over the ride and the street name but I think he was prominent enough of a figure that he deserves more. I think something like a standing statue somewhere or a statue of him sitting on a bench that guests could sit and snap a pic with would be a very nice touch. Or at least those are what I would like to see and take a pic with

Important question since Disney now owns the rights to Marvel Comics is their very little Universal can do with updating Marvel Super Hero Island since Universal only has very little rights to Marvel now even though they still own it. Disney has the big advantage with Marvel now over Uni. We won’t see any new attractions in the land in the future because of the Disney acquisition? I’m not sure if that is how it’s going to work going forward.

I'm sure @Brian G. or @Joe can point to where that Marvel rights go, but I do believe it's the other way around.

Disney can only use so many of the Marvel characters, and as long as the usage of the characters are okay; Universal can take action in creating attractions and entertainment based on Marvel..in Islands.

Hell, Iron Legion pops into mind real quick on where they were working on something of a larger note than the Hulk renovations that occured for a 2016 opening.

The answer is No. Please read this column which explains why.

That Darn Marvel Contract – What Rights Does Universal and Disney Own | Inside Universal

It all just comes down to Universal coming up with a viable attraction incorporating one of the families (Spiderman, Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men) they own the theme park rights to.

We need some more marvel supervillain attractions to be in MSHI. Like Magneto, Venom or Carnage, Galatacus, Abomination, Dark Phoenix, Electro, Thanos?

The question comes down to - how? Realistically, we don't need another moving theater ride. We have a simple teacup ride, a drop tower, and a huge rollercoaster. Shy of a slow moving dark ride, MSHI is actually pretty diversified. Just about anything you do would have a duplicate.

I'd rather have a show. A Sinister Six show could be legit. I could imagine Doc Ock with puppeteers controlling the arms a la the Nemo show.

 

[ThrillRideLover3214]

Yeah no I am just saying not necessarily an attraction but a show is considered a attraction too I would love to see like a x-men show, daredevil show with Elektra or Thor show with Loki.

technically Spiderman is a slow-moving dark ride

Right, the land has:
1- Large Coaster
1- Dark Ride
1- Drop Tower
1- Flat

Valid.

It actually clips along at a decent speed during the sewer transition scene....But I get what you mean

I think the spinning gives more of an illusion of speed. Otherwise it would have to slow down afterwards to prevent catching up to the car in front.

I wouldn't call it a "simple" tea cup ride. I feel like I can get those things moving much faster than any other tea cups I've been on. Always fun for the family- and always BEFORE lunch!!

Haha I remember uploading that and the rest of the Islands of Adventure soundtrack back when I was 12. Funny to see it pop up here after all these years.

The coins are back!

I said it last year and I’ll say it again this year: Universal really dropped the ball not having an amazing and epic Avengers ride ready.
