Whenever the day comes that Springfield goes away - they need to find a way to preserve the taco truck lol

We've known for half a decade that Disney is trying really hard to integrate Simpsons into the larger Disney brand in the same way Star Wars, Muppets, and Marvel have. This is just the biggest push from them we've seen.

If Disney was able to wrestle the theme park rights to Marvel, I'm certain they would. We'll see what happens with Simpsons.

I mean, assuming the contract is actually up in 2028, Universal really doesn't hold any cards.

I just can't imagine Disney incorporating anything Simpsons-related on a large scale in any of their parks.

They do have one BIG card: we have an open land you can make money on now.

So are they keeping it or not? With HHN taking up 10 house spaces (not to mention the queue/exit space) now I fully understand why they might be hesitant to do much construction in this area. If Pokemon is slotted to LC, would Wicked be slotted here?
