An IP that never gets mentioned in these threads and is quite possibly the biggest IP in the world is the NFL. It doesn't fit into the usual movie IP category that ends up in the parks, but I don't know why its not considered. Obviously the merch side would be huge, but the ride side could be difficult. Maybe a training camp dark ride? Not sure if it would really fit well in the parks, but it could be the anchor for the new citiwalk. Big sports bar. Maybe a stadium layout with huge tvs in the middle. shop surrounding it underneath the seating with merch from all of the teams. Custom Jersey shop on site. Maybe figure out a way to do college football stuff as well. I'm sure there are reasons none of this can happen, but if it did, there is a lot of money making potential.
A perfect NFL themed ride. You get a concussion while riding it.:yikes:An IP that never gets mentioned in these threads and is quite possibly the biggest IP in the world is the NFL.

and the NFL only works for domestic audiences (yes, I know there's some small leagues overseas)
Just to throw another IP out there. What's the current situation with Roald Dahl and parks? I don't know how popular he is in the US but I think he's been a huge part of every kids in the UK.
I know Alton Towers has a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ride but it's not great and I think it could have great potential on a large scale. Having a sweet shop at the exit is a no brainer. Steven Spielberg is also directing The BFG which will be out next year but it's being distributed by Disney but I know Steven Spielberg is very friendly with Universal if that could be another possibility.
I could see Wonka possibly used for the Citywalk "South" but I just have a hard time seeing Wonka being used at the park, even with the really good Alton Towers attraction.
