News Round Up 2017

I know someone has already talked about this being discussed in the past (I've missed any discussion of it though). I actually like the idea of that section of the park being overrun with Villains. If they re-themed RNR to be villain themed they could leave Tower of Terror as it is (sort of a "scary" villain like ride). They could do a meet and greet, have villain-related food items; there's already a villain store, re-theme the food places, Villain show in place of Beauty and the Beast, etc.

The could also expand the land into the animation courtyard area once launch pad moves to SW:GE.... Twilight Zone is creepy, but if they did decide to not pay CBS, they could easily find a villian storyline to go with ToT. Using the character of Dr. Facilier as a connection to bringing other villains through like a portal could work without changing much of the ToT experience.

Not sure if this has been posted yet.

Spidey ride a possibility for DCA.

Per WNT, they comment "it would be safe to assume it’s going in Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Walt Disney Studios Paris"

Considering at D23 they said Spiderman would be part of the Marvel expansion at DCA this isn't surprising.

The spiderman ride sounds interesting...but anything they build will be compared to IOA's spiderman ride, which I believe is still one of the best theme park rides I've been on.

I agree - though at least this makes it look to be a very different ride experience at least

So I talked about Disney Now before, which is just the consolidation of all the Disney channels into one app for streaming. Disney is adding some old Disney shows to Disney Now like Lizzie McGuire, the Proud Family, the Little Mermaid cartoon and That's So Raven. I thought it was interesting because you didn't have access to these shows on Disney's regular Disney channel apps.

It does look like a fun, interesting attraction if it turns out like this.

It is my family's favorite ride. When we get to Universal we head straight to Spider-Man before we do anything else.

I like the mention of Tarzan on the patent. Maybe, the long awaited Tarzan roller coaster might be coming to Animal Kingdom/ Epcot's The Land pavillion? So there might be a Spidey overlay in California and a Tarzan overlay in WDW like Indianna Jones/Dinosaur?

Don't toy with my emotions that way...

Love, love, love this. Also, one of the cars on display down that stretch reminds me of Cruella's Car. Lots of ways they could retheme RNR to be a villain ride.

I’m never going to say no to another coaster in Animal Kingdom. Tarzan makes a lot more sense than Indiana Jones

It's my second favorite after Forbidden Journey. I love the way that ride combines 3d screens with real things.

I really always liked the design of that building.

I know we do a lot of comparisons to Unviersal rides but has anyone had the chance to ride Justice League: Battle for Metropolis at a Six Flags?

It is, in my opinion, one of the best theme park rides in existence. It's an interactive ride (Buzz Lightyear) but to the level of movement and action as, say, Forbidden Journey. Additionally, the amount of real objects mixed with screens as you go through the ride is incredible and it's got a good amount of detail.

It makes Midway Mania and Buzz look pathetic, or at least veerrrryy kid-oriented. I wonder if the new Spiderman ride could be more along those lines. They have the tech and it could be cool!

If Disney manages to strongly tie its theme parks worldwide to Marvel, does anyone think that potentially causes Universal to eventually seek another IP? It seems as if Disney is going to one-up Universal on its Marvel presence and shoe-horn whatever it legally can into WDW (Guardians, etc).

We've all been focused on how Universal is going to hold Marvel over WDW's head, but in the meantime, it seems as if Disney is busily walling them in.

Just a thought.

Any idea if they'll keep that facade? I love the original FW look. Probably just nostalgia but still.

Per the concept art the shape of the building looks to be staying:

I was wondering if they could do something like that for the Brave ride rumored to be coming to the U.K. Pavilion - where you are shooting arrows
