Stretching it a little thin with the contractors...
^.......No. :look:
No? That Avatar 4D was just an off rumor huh?
But It's def not fair Disney has Marvel rights.
Gues we'll have to keep our eye out for Marvel Superhero island over the next few years
Thanks for clearing that up. I'm not sure terms of the agreement between the two, but could IOA re-theme certain rides with different Marvel Characters, or if they decided to add a Marvel Hero and attraction the the line up would they be allowed too?Sorry 'bout that.
I meant in reply to, "Could Universal and Disney trade Avatar rights and Universal just out and done with Marvel completely?"
A fairly common belief among fans is that Uni will give up or be forced in the near future by Disney to relinquish their usage of Marvel properties. However, due to the contractual agreements, Uni has fair use of Marvel IPs East of the Mississippi River. Universal gets to decide when and if they choose to hand over the Orlando theme park rights to Marvel, and at a pricetag of their choosing. It would be highly unlikely that Disney would pay dearly for the rights considering all of the cash handed over to Uni just for acquiring usage, let alone building a ride/land itself.
In a nutshell, Marvel is pretty comfortable at Islands of Adventure right now and will be for many more years to come.
As for the Avatarland attractions, plans leaked and it looks like a Soarin' over Pandora is a definite as well as a possible boat ride.
With Springfield and WWHP2 coming MIB is going to stick out like a sore thumb all by itself

I forget the exact phrasing, but wasn't there a term in the Disney/Marvel contracts saying that they would need to act in "good faith" with how Universal pursues to the Marvel IPs east of the Mississippi? Meaning that Uni could argue in court if it is reasonable to say that Disney failed to their end of the bargain.

That's been said before yes. But so has a lot of things. I don't think many people have first hand knowledge about the contract, and it's one of those rumors that's taken on a life of its own on the net.

When I imagine a Disney marvel ride I think of this instantly. And Disney is having trouble building things they actually announce right now. I don't see any big additions other than the ones being discussed coming any time soon.
