Very interesting. I don't see Marvel characters as a good mix in any of the
current parks [sorry, but Wolverine doesn't go with Pluto], so this will
probably spur more talk of a fifth theme park at WDW.

There was also some scuttlebutt aboutexpanding Fantasyland...I can picture
this being fuel for that fire as well.

I'm just wondering if Pluto will let his claws grow out then coat them
with Adamantium.

I'm in favor of the parks expanding, especially if it means new forms
of entertainment when I go there. But you're right. Marvel
Superheroes seem like an abrupt shift, mentally, just like seeing DC
heroes at Six Flags parks were. The addition of the Looney Toons
characters didn't seem as out of place.

Doesn't Universal have a license for rides based on Marvel characters? I'd
love to see a fully themed Spider-Man or Hulk ride, but Islands of Adventure
already has rides based on these characters.

When does Universal's contract expire?

And where would you put "Marvel Land"?

I heard about this on the way home from work. My first thought was,
"Mr. Incredible has competition."

It's not so much about who they got, but who can't have them.

Donald never married Daisy - indeed they go down as the second longest
screen romance in history.
Does this mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_the_duck
can finally take off his pants, and not get sued by Disney to put them on?
Above A, Below B, Close B, Close Mode - Uh, Clem. [Hey vato, he borke
the president!] Ah, this party's over.

Now that Don's tappin' Beverly, in a sweetheart deal, to which Stan Lee
commented "WHOO HO!" Howard, who was never much into hairy apes, will be
swaggering the red carpet sporting a slick duck ass doo.

Now, don't read me wrong, it's not my fault, Donald had 80 years
opportunity to jump on it and make Daisy an offer.
"Cleave-Land?"
Marvelous!
