but that creates some interesting licensing issues. As an Orlando resident, Universal Studios/ IOA was a last refuge from Disney. If those rides tank because of licensing, the whole place (as the thrill park we know and love) will tank. I wish they would announce what’s going to happen to those rides. That was actually my first concern too. Movies are movies and they’re going to be good or bad. and I agree that park will tank if they close down that section. I know they’re

I have similar concerns about the Disney-ification of Marvel, but overall, I'm waiting before I count Spidey and company out for good. I don't think something like Civil
X-Men Danger Room theme. If Disney can keep Jean Grey dead, I’m all for it. I’m wondering what will happen to the Universal Theme Park in Orlando, Islands of Adventure. They have the Hulk, Spiderman and Dr Doom rides there. They are probably the biggest attractions at the park, too. hopefully they can go out and spend more than one movie to expand on some of the characters.

By tech standards, their content should be free, giving it a valuation closer to zero. Marvel and Disney never drank Richard Stallman’s kool-aid and thus retained their sense of value. Yeah, I’m surprised there isn’t any mention of say Marvel’s digital strategy (they recently released their first comic on iTunes) versus
