Disneyland or The Magic Kingdom I would completely agree would never fit, but in DCA, DHS or DSP oh hell yes!

DCA-- Disney's Hollywoodland (isn't that the rumored new name?)? Best chance for things that "fit", but nothing would fit well with the glitzy, glamorous Hollywood that never was and always will be. Marvel Superheroes inhabit very dark worlds. Bug's Land? Nothing is of the right scale, is it? Golden State? Possibly . . . . Paradise Pier? Nothing whatever.

Marvelland replaces Tomorrowland Hulk Corner replaces Toontown Wolverine Den replaces Critter Country And don't forget Spidey Boulevard, U.S.A.! You know, they could sling up webs where the Christmas wreaths usually go. And rename the castle at the end of the street "Doctor Octopuses Enchanted Lair".

Hopefully Disney remembers that when thinking about introducing Marvel into a park. And DtD is already filled with non-Disney locations so ESPN fits in quite nicely in my opinion. I wouldn't mind a Marvel themed store/restaurant in DtD if they wanted to do that.
Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt "But "WWTBEAM" turned out to be a flop. Hopefully Disney remembers that when thinking about introducing Marvel into a park." No, not exactly. The prime time show ran its course and went off the air. The point I was trying to make is that there is indeed precedent for this in regard to ABC/ESPN. "I wouldn't mind a Marvel themed store/restaurant in DtD if they wanted to do that." That will probably be the first thing they do.

Originally Posted By Hista98 I hope this doens't last long, I don't see Marvel fititng in with disney well. plus they just made spiderman movies, are they going to remake them again.
Originally Posted By Hista98 But for now, it's more like acquiring ABC/ESPN. It will pop up where appropriate, but it won't override your basic Disneyland experience. Really?? it seems like all disneyland does these days is overide our expierence with every franchise they own even where it doesnt fit, until we puke... and then they do it again.

Originally Posted By mawnck >>Who's next? Bart Simpson?<< I'm hoping for Betty Boop. Maybe they can hold Spiderman hostage and get Universal to make a deal like they did with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
