So...speculation here, but Hasbro is having a fairly sizable presence at ComicCon, including USH stuff concerning Transformers.

And with the rumors of an announcement coming soon, think it could happen at the Con?

Had the same feeling last night when I saw the retweets from @UniStudios about Hasbro.

Just sayin'

Man you guys are guys are good. If Transformers does come to Orlando, I guess I'll never go to Hollywood. No point with Transformers in Orlando. Now this is from last September so should I be mad that it is taking this long to make an announcement, or should I be grateful and patient?

Grateful and patient. By all accounts, the project was given final approval very recently.

Also, I'd still go to Hollywood. The tram tour is the real star out there.

[JungleSkip]

Hmmm...

So I wonder if this is a miscommunication, or a very recent change of plans...

Well, it would be hard for plans to change since the companies rent these spaces out months a head of time.

I'll just have to be paying attention to twitter at 4:30 Eastern on Thursday and Friday!

Nothing is coming to WDW unless someone else is paying for it, or it's a DVC villa.

I object. The rooms are pretty much the same dimensions and nearly the same layout. I get confused easily. I think I am in the Boardwalk rooms when I'm really in Wilderness Lodge. LoL.

Thanks! I am well aware with Disney, because this Transformers/Spiderman thing was a topic of discussion in the July 4th episode of the 100% Unofficial Universal Orlando Podcast. I don't know if you know what it is, but after listening to it, I think replacing Terminator with a Transformers 3D show would be better. I only say this, because I don't want this to be the beginning of the end for Marvel at Universal. I feel that bringing in Transformers is a disservice to Spiderman, and it would get Disney a step closer to getting Marvel. I could be wrong, but that's my thought about it.

Yep, I listened to that show. I too think Transformers would make for a great replacement for T2. I don't however agree with that Scott guy that Disney is a step closer to gaining the Marvel rights in Orlando. I would never say they would never get them back, but why would Universal want to? Only a huge sum of money would convince Universal and even that may not do it. They hold the cards to Marvel's hottest properties in Orlando and there is nothing Disney can do about it. Unless Disney wants to pay for the retheme of Marvel Super Hero Island and then some. I don't see Disney doing that. But I have been wrong before.

Just playing Devil's advocate here, but maybe all this talk of expansion, construction, and whatnot; is due to Disney paying off Uni a vast amount of money for the Marvel rights.

:stunned:

If Disney was anywhere near acquiring the Marvel theme park rights, Transformers wouldn't be going in Soundstage 44. Think about it.

Ha. That'd be hilarious.

But if I get Transformers, Gotham Island, and a slew of other rides I'll take the loss of Spider-man. Plus, maybe I'd actually get a cool Avengers ride!

Can we vote to ban BriMan for this comment? LOL. Joking.

Hey, anything is possible, right?

Unless we get the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

Yeah, maybe they'd build something in Disneyland.

I love Disney. And that's why I don't want them to have the rights. I don't want to hate them for ruining Marvel in Orlando
