I'm hoping in a few years we'll see some comic book heros in the Hollywood Studios. How fun would that be? I know Mike would get a huge kick out of it.

I knew another theme park had some comic book themed rides and such but for some reason thought it was 6 flags. Interesting that it is Universal. They might be renaming those rides very soon.

Cate - Six Flags does have superhero themed rides - they are associated with DC Comics.

I don't think it would be as simple as renaming. The whole themes are about the characters. If I remember correctly, there is a whole section of their very biggest rides that each one is completely about a Marvel character. Maybe Spiderman, the Hulk??? Supposedly the best rides in the park.

Ok. I don't know my comic book heroes and the company they belong with. I'm glad I was semi-right though.

Well then that makes it even more tricky. Seems like someone is going to have to give something as I just don't see Disney letting Universal keep names and likenesses of their characters in the Universal theme park. Maybe Universal will have to start paying Disney??

Disney will just stick a big ol mouse head outside all those rides. Advertising at you place competitors , priceless.

Boy that is interesting. But I'm sur ethis was all talked about before they bought them. Wonder what they'll end up doing.

I am with Cate. My husband would love to see comic hereos more then disney characters. This could pull in a whole new set of people to Disney if they add some comic characters to Disney!
