But much of the areas you like at the Studios were never intended for guests to begin with. <<Isn't Shanghai dumping the hub-spoke design as well?>> I have never heard that ... I believe people read a lot into a piece of old concept art that was NOT for Shanghai that has been floating around 2-3 years. I would expect hub and spoke or very close ... just add more toons, more nods to Chinese culture and, sadly, Marvel characters likely in a land that takes the place of Tomorrowland/Discoveryland.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<Not every TV show can be LOST.>> Not very many can even be spoken in the same breath ... and that was with what I felt was a rather weak ending. <<You're right, some of them need to be good!>> True. Lost was only great ... But you can get your fill of CSI: Honolulu, Law and Order: Disney Execs Unit and 2 1/2 Very Farty Pampered Men instead ...
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<Why do I think Lost is a girlie favorite.

Lost definitely has its share of eye candy no matter which direction you go.

Time travel and supernatural smoke monsters don't usually appear in something like that.>> Nope. But The Weatherman has this idea for ABC (before he dumps it) ...

BTW, how does porn look on an iPad? <<As for the Marvel Land...bring it on!>> No thanks. You know my feelings. ALthough I feel if any MK-style park should get them, it does make sense in Shanghai if viewed from the corporate synergy SELL SELL SELL SELL mentality. Iger doesn't care what characters the Chinese fall in love with. Screw Donald if they love Nemo. Let Snow White choke on the apple if Repunzel does it for them. Stitch can so retire to Hawaii if Hulk can learn Mandarin. Pooh might as well stand for (another word for Pooh that Leo is fond of) if Buzz and Woody and Spidey and X-Men move merchandise.

In a time when everything seemingly has to be for the 5 year olds, I'll take something like it. Although, if they fail to top Spider-man at IoA(likely) I won't give it the time of day.

China is an amazing nation and the fact it will soo...oops, I mean eventually have two Disney resorts is simply another reason to want to visit. I can't wait to return there soon! <<In a time when everything seemingly has to be for the 5 year olds, I'll take something like it.>> Only at WDW does the five-year-old demo rule. <<Although, if they fail to top Spider-man at IoA(likely) I won't give it the time of day.>> You expect Disney to top something built in the 1990s?!??! Are you crazy??!?! C'mon, go easy on them. How about a spinner themed to the Little Mermaid? Or what if we took the Mater ride from DCA and made it themed to pixies instead? Huh? bet that has you all hot and bothered ...
