I'm all for safety, but I really don't see what this accomplishes. You're never in that room for more than a few seconds since they seem to refuse to use those switchbacks.
"Ah, here we are. Hot out of the oven."These are desperate times Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures must be taken...

Money and land, neither of which USH had enough of at the time to warrant Spider-Man coming over. When they had enough money, in the 2010s, they still didn’t have much land, hence why Transformers is a two-story ride.Why did this ride never come to USH?
If I'm not mistaken, part of it was the Disney purchase of Marvel preventing it on the west coast, hence why anything remotely marvel related in the park disappeared. I'm sure years prior they had considered bringing it over but the early planning for Transformers and the marvel purchase sealed the deal to not do it.Money and land, neither of which USH had enough of at the time to warrant Spider-Man coming over.

It was because the original deal Marvel and Universal signed in the 90s only was for the East Coast I believe, which is why they cloned Spider-Man as Transformers for USH.
Better yet: how history could have been different if Universal acquired Marvel Entertainment instead? USH might still have some Marvel attractions in the long run, but Nintendo might be completely left out of the play altogether.
This is all assuming Marvel properties under Universal pictures is well done, or even half as well done as the MCU. Plus, even if Disney owned the MCU but not Marvel for their theme parks, I can't imagine SOME deal wouldn't have been made currently. Marvel is Disney's cash cow. Which, still makes me utterly perplexed at Avengers Campus.Now you're talking. Potter, Marvel and Nintendo would be a great triple threat.
Yeah, Disney hit it just right time wise. I doubt Universal had the wherewithal or money to do it right before Comcast came in fully.This is all assuming Marvel properties under Universal pictures is well done, or even half as well done as the MCU.

Like, for all my issues with it (having not been in person, so I mean bare with me) I at least totally understand the intention of Batuu for SW:GE. I get it, it was a potentially very innovative idea that I think they failed on the execution for. Avengers C.A.M.P.U.S is just plain stupid when Marvel's audience is insanely large.
Yep, ugh, if only. I just hope MSHI never changes, its timeless as are comics. Hulk and Spiderman are going to be staples forever so just never change MSHI, never change (or add a stunt show if you can but totally cool if not).Yeah, Disney hit it just right time wise. I doubt Universal had the wherewithal or money to do it right before Comcast came in fully.
