That's pretty wild.  Maybe another retheme in the future of IOA???

They (Universal) cannot use Marvel at any of their other parks now.

And Disney is free to use Marvel west of the Mississippi from what I have seen.

I wonder if they'll build a new thrill park geared towards teens.

Says the person who obviously knows nothing about the DLR.
The third park is to go in the Strawberry Field which is now being used as overflow parking while the new parking garage starts to become a reality by PP Hotel.

That's definitely one of the options that people suggest they may take.  But it will be years before we see anything in a park by most analysts thoughts.  Most likely first will be new cartoons for Disney XD with crossover merchandise and movies.

Well they have to get the Lion King and Friends parking garage built first -- which is currently in the planning stages.  Man do they need to get a move on on that garage.

I saw on CBuzz that Disney isn't going after the Universal license.

As of now.  Just Universal cannot add anymore Marvel stuff to Marvel Superhero Island at IOA and cannot add anything Marvel to any of their other parks.

Right.  Which to some degree gives the license a limited shelf life.  How long are people going to tolerate the same attractions in that part of the park with nothing new being added, unless it is non-marvel?  At the same time Disney can't do anything in Florida until said license is relinquished or bought out.  Florida is a stalemate for the time being.  The real benefits will be had at DLR which will further strengthen them against UHS.

IMHO IOA should just drop the "Marvel" part of the Island's name and retheme it to other superheroes.

I thought about that too.  Are there any superheroes Universal has rights to?
