UPDATE: I just had a thought...I think one of the reasons Disney did this is because of the new Harry Potter world at Islands of Adventure. Maybe Disney's afraid of not getting visitors and needs to think of some new rides.
It was confirmed yesterday that Disney has bought Marvel for the huge sum of FOUR BILLION DOLLARS( Hey Marvels worth it.) As many of you know, Marvel is the company that as made comic books, video games, TV shows, and huge blockbuster movies based on our favorite super heroes like Spider-Man and The X-Men. This means that Disney can immediately add Marvel hero's to their theme parks across the world. The only park this excludes is Walt Disney World in Orlando because of the existing deal between Marvel and Universal(Islands of Adventure.) I read that the Island of Adventure theme park has a perpetual deal with Marvel for the Amazing Spider-Man ride and the Incredible Hulk coaster so we will never see those attractions leave that park(Thank God.) Right now it seems that the biggest changes will be in advertising, merchandise, and television. The Disney cable channels(preferably Disney XD) will now probably develop more TV shows based on Marvel characters. Besides that, we will probably see more Disney adds in upcoming comic books. Right now it seems that the deal is not effecting the upcoming films being made by Marvel in any way.
