Hmmmm… But Homer’s in Universal Orlando right now…

This concerns me. I wonder if part of this is to back Universal into a corner. Now Disney own a bunch of the IPs in their theme parks

Is there anyone besides Universal that is NOT owned by Disney now?

As much as I love Disney, I think they need some good competition and I don’t really like the overbearing titan feeling that I get when I think about them everything they own as of late. Variety isn’t a bad thing

This makes me happy. I loved Deadpool!

I concur! I’m in no way a huge fan of marvel or the simpsons. It just seems to meDisney is falling behind in the originalty catergory here! Everything is just getting a facelift with existing stuff. I surely hope Disney gets back to its roots of ingenuity and original attractions that no one has seen before. I’m not a huge fan of all this over themeing to old movies. Wheres all the Great minds that came up with The Jungle Cruise, BTMR, POTC, SHE, TT etc? Come on Disney you need to step up your game. I’ve seen this before. It didnt work out well for the yankees. Just buying old washed up expensive players doesnt make you great or relavent.

Just taking this in. Hoping this will be good for investors. There are so many elements involved. I miss the classic movie emphasis at Hollywood Studios. Not so much interested in Marvel characters…but I realize this is a big draw for some. It will be interesting to see if and how it changes things.
