Disney has decided to expand its base by purchasing Marvel Entertainment.
What makes this story particularly interesting is that on the other side of town from Disney's theme parks in Orlando, is a theme park owned by Universal which happens to feature characters licensed from Marvel. So what fate will befall Universal's Islands of Adventure and its Marvel Super Hero Island, featuring the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman, the Incredible Hulk Coaster, Doctor Doom’s Fearfall and Storm Force Accelatron? It is hard to believe that Universal will hand over anything to Disney for visitors to its own theme park. But how will Islands of Adventure maintain its appeal if the roller coasters got a fresh coat of paint and had generic themes? Stay tuned!!
