but I totally want to go to the Marvel Island Of Adventure before they shut it down
if they haven't already
not yet
they have a parade where the xmen come out in ATVs
They're planning to shut the Marvel island?
Disney bought Marvel
why on earth would they allow Universal to continue operating one of their properties?
It's not being closed yet, but it's very likely on borrowed time.
Okay, now THIS is the dumbest post I've read
Disney bought Marvel, but Universal has a license to use the Marvel characters for that part of the park. Disney buying it doesn't negate the license
BESIDES
Every single thing that Universal sells at Marvel Island? Disney gets a cut of that. You really think they're gonna do away with that huge cash cow just cuz it's at Universal? Hell, that's MORE reason to keep it there. Undermining the competition++
Yeah most amusement parks I've been to the line isn't that bad unless there's like a brand new ride or something

I will correct myself a bit: It's not a huge cash cow, but when you have to put NO MONEY towards its upkeep (cuz it's at the competition's park) but you still get profit? It would be stupid to try to force them to shut it down.

EDIT: Oh crap, I didn't even think about it when Disney acquired Marvel. Very interesting.
This is the dumbest post I've seen in a while
Literally none of it is right
Also I have an annual pass to universal, so I'm down, but the rest of you jerks gotta pay your way in.

you are going to rethink how you live your life
Including Javen, if need be.

a way of life
Theme park
Semantics
Agreed
It is (as is Universal) a theme park
Amusement parks are like Coney Island. Rides that exist merely as rides with no story around them.
That's why Walt built Disneyland, because he wanted to create a place that children and adults could enjoy, with stories instead of just thrill rides.

Wrong.

Coney Island is getting developed on. A lot of the stuff that made it awesome is getting taken out/down and they're building apartments I believe.
And if you READ that link, it makes a distinction between the two.

It also states that a theme park is a type of amusement park
So Disney World is an amusement park
I didn't know it was one
Make a better thread title
That's like calling a square a rectangle
It is a SPECIFIC KIND of rectangle, and to identify it only as 'rectangle' is to ignore the properties that make it a square.
It's like me calling SH a redhead, when in fact, he is a ginger
(lest we forget)

It's still not wrong!
Better?
