    I’m not buying this at all. Universal’s contract with Marvel is indefinite and in good perpetuity. I’m also pretty sure that Universal will not let go of an IP that still sells plenty of merchandise and plus, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is still extremely popular and still scores very well in guest satisfaction scores. But yeah, I think Toon Lagoon is likely to be rethemed rather than Marvel, as I believe that Superhero Island will still remain for many years to come.

      It is indefinite but it has financial split clauses as well as others that Disney will put pressure on them. As much as I love marvel it isn’t worth it. Let Disney have it and put in one of many iPs that universal has. I myself want to see Lord of the Rings. But I think that’s going to England at the new park they are building there

    If Universal closed Marvel Super Hero Island, that would be one of their biggest mistakes ever. It’s still one of the most popular lands, and it has a nostalgic draw that Disney could never do with their Marvel content. The comic book theming is classic, but can still appeal to multiple generations.
    Additionally, even though Universal pays Disney to use Marvel content these days… it also prevents Disney from using these iconic characters in their parks. Which still benefits Universal more, since Marvel is so popular.

    For those thinking this is impossible, it is not. While the contract is perpetual, Universal does not have freedom. They cannot create any new rides without Disney's approval. They cannot alter any rides without Disney's approval if there is a significant change. The Spider-Man upgrade and Hulk track replacement/refurb were all approved by Disney but this was linked to the Avengers monorail wrap settlement between the two companies. That usage is now known and Disney has had no other violations. They cannot update the character looks from their 90s appearance without Disney approval or they breach the contract and Disney cancels it - which would create a drawn out court battle that could cause Universal to lose millions if they lose.
    Merchandise is fully controlled by Disney, so the percentages there have receded for Universal over time. So Universal only gets a small cut of merchandise sales. Which is also a problem elsewhere. Their cut of Harry Potter merchandise and Nintendo merchandise is small. The plus is the license is relatively cheap. They have to share far more park revenue with WB/Rowling, Spielberg, and Nintendo. This means their operating margins are worse than Disney since Disney owns the IP inside their parks but much of Universal's IP is licensed: Marvel, Seuss, Potter, Toon Lagoon, MiB, Transformers, Nintendo, and ET - and even Jurassic Park has some licensing from Spielberg and royalties to the Crichton estate. Disney has far less of that, which gives them a better margin. It also means any merchandize for these franchises also has to be split.
    Universal badly wants to use their own IP as much as they can. They need How to Train your Dragon to be big, but they also know their IP does not draw. Without Nintendo and Potter, they'd likely have much lower attendance. Their biggest IP comes from Illumination and Dreamworks mostly with Fast and Furious thrown in as well. They really would like to make Battlestar Galactica big so they could have their own sci-fi franchise as a draw, but the TV series is over a decade behind us and the reboot has not gotten off the ground.
    They also could potential strike a deal with Warner Brothers top get more of their IP in the parks at better rates. So instead of Zelda maybe you see Lord of the Rings if the rates with WB and the Tolkien Estate are more favorable than Nintendo. DC Comics characters could come with that, though I don't know if Universal wants to do a straight swap - though Batman remains a strong brand and we have to see what happens with Superman next year.
    Regardless, Universal wants better margins AND needs to be able to have the flexibility to make new attractions. The price is still good for Marvel, but it will never be able to change much. Though that may come after Lost Continent expansion and redevelopment, Seuss replacement, Jurassic refurb, and Toon Lagoon replacement.

    • @LChatmanFL
      @LChatmanFL Місяць тому

      Sorry my friend, it looks like you may not have read the contract. Universal CAN develop new attractions or experiences at IOA.
      Let me direct your attention to section VI. Miscellaneous Legal.
      It reads, "Marvel will reasonably cooperate in making information, artwork, archive material, key personnel, etc. available to MCA in order that MCA can creatively develop THE MARVEL UNIVERSE and exploit its rights hereunder."
      When it says "...exploit it's right" that's the key. The only objections Disney can make is for improper use.
      So, if Universal wanted to build a stunt show with The Avengers, they can do it. If they want to build in iron Man roller coaster, they can do it. They just need to stick to the '90s versions of the characters.
      Also, merchandise is not "fully controlled by Disney." Not really sure what you mean by that, but the contract spells out very clearly how the revenue from marketing and sales is meant to go. It does not give us percentages or dollar amounts. To say it's fully controlled by Disney is to overstate the facts.
      This contract highly favors Universal. And everyone knows that. It was done and a time when Marvel had virtually no leverage in negotiations. Disney is fortunate that Universal chose not to install these characters in its other parks globally, otherwise Disney would be shut out globally from representing any of the IP at any of their parks.

Marvel isn't as popular as it was but i see it remain for at least the next 10 years minimum.

    With the void left behind by Lost Continent, there's no way they're going to give up Marvel Superhero Island at IoA anytime soon. What in-house IP does Universal have that could fill the void? None. Third party IPs to license, DC? Six Flags has that. Lord of the Rings? That's what Lost Continent would best be suited for. Transformers? A Transformers area is feasible and would require the least amount of changing to Marvel, which could set up an argument for removing the ride at Universal Studios Florida for something else and retheming the Spiderman ride as it's basically the same type of ride. Hulk, Storm Force, and Dr Doom could all receive Transformers theming without too much effort. But that would take away a ride from Universal Studios Florida, which is a weak park with too many weak screen-based attractions.

    Why would Universal ever give this up without Disney paying for it? If Disney wants Marvel back east of the Mississippi they will have to not only pay for it, but also pay Universal enough to tear it down, design and build something else and secure an IP for this. This would cost billions of dollars and Disney isn't going to do this. Disney would then have to spend billions more developing Marvel attractions and possibly a land and there's no guarantee they'd get a return on their investment.

    Very highly unlikely Universal Studios Fl will not continue with the Marvel heroes, especially the Xmen and F4 , Spiderman and Capt. America, They will NOT just simply not use their license, what could happen is a modernization of the area, maybe eliminating the Tower and Do the Baxter Building for the F4 and Dr Doom , a Xmen Masion adventure ( a Danger Room ) something like that, Disney will not have the amount of money to buy their use license

      Universal Studios Singapore had a Madagascar land, but closed it to retheme it to Minions.

Because of this, I don’t see Universal having any new Madagascar themed land in the future.

    look no matter if the rumors of it being true or not, it MUST be replaced with an another property that haves the same 'edge' as Marvel, hopefully one that still follows the themes of comic books or just literature and/or adventure as a whole (perhaps from Overseas *wink*). Besides, all that stuff about it being too "popular " and that I should stay because its "represents marvel before Disney" or whatever doesn't justified for it to stay. Its like paying for a car that's not only you can't drive, but that the car overall belongs to some you despites for years. They NEED to take the shot, otherwise its going to bite them back in the ass sooner or later.

    To retrofit Super Hero Island? Anime Island might work - it's not a big jump from comic superhoroes to giant robots.
    My blue-sky concept would be "Noir" which would be IOA's modernist take on the Dark Universe - the IP is dark literature, graphic novels, and early cinema - keep the skyscraper metropolis facade sort of atmosphere but all in black and white. The attractions and architecture could suggest Sherlock Holmes, Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft, (tribute to Hitchcock/psycho?) maybe a bit Jules-Verne/retro-futurey ominous,. Spiderman becomes an Asylum/Lovecraft ride with a 50's pulp adventure/horror comic "Creepshow/Weird Tales" feel, Dr Doom becomes a mad-scientist with an indoor section with a buildup like Tower of Terror. It'd be sad to change Hulk's theming, but I guess it could re-theme as an otherworldly flying inter dimensional vehicle - they could enclose the back half of the ride after the block brakes so the track intertwines through an indoor cave with tentacles of a giant monster...

    I think they should re-theme MSI to comics outside of Marvel and DC; with Toon Lagoon serving as the a land themed around golden age comics, 1930s and 40s animation, and comic strips. Whereas this re-themed area would represent modern comics, manga, anime, and webcomics.
    Spider-Man could be re-themed to The Boys
    Hulk could be re-themed to Invincible
    Dr. Doom could be re-themed to Scott Pilgrim
    Additionally, they could add attractions based on The Walking Dead, Dragon Ball, Spawn, Hellboy, Sailor Moon, etc.

    I hope the rumor is true, so we can have Avengers campus in Disney World and plus Universal could do more with the land than just keeping it. Especially since the MCU is more relevant to general audiences, plus with Guardians already being in Disney world. Since it would be beneficial for both Disney and Universal, for Disney they can have Marvel attractions and expand the Guardians of the Galaxy area to add the Avengers and Spider man to the parks and Universal can do more in that area. Just think about it, they could do a DC land or a Pokemon land or a retro universal land or a Sonic the Hedgehog land or a My little Pony/ Transformer land or a Wicked land (depending whether or not the movies are successful) or any of Universal properties or anything else I haven't thought of.
