Disney Boss Talks Marvel Theme Parks

You know they're coming eventually -- Marvel theme parks are surely part of the Disney plan. Star Wars parks as well, no doubt. Avengers Land! Asgard's Realm! Death Star Square (Circle?)! And as our own Eric Goldman suggests, Jabba's Pleasure Barge Casino! (I'm there for sure.)

So it comes as no surprise that Disney CEO Bob Iger has publicly floated the idea of expanding these properties into the theme park arena. And while we are far from any concrete details, The Disney Blog has dug up a Reuters interview with Iger from earlier this year where he discusses the concept. Iger says that a Marvel theme park is unlikely in Florida (Universal has long term deals with Marvel pre-dating the Disney acquisition), but California is less limited and overseas spots like China, Japan and France are more or less wide open.

What a flop

I hope Disney/Marvel didn't hit their peak with Avengers and there's enough continuing demand for a Marvel theme park.

Marvel characters have been around for a very, very long time. Even if BO revenues go away, Spider-Man and company will remain pop icons.

Can' they do this on the west cost since universal has Marvel rides in Orlando? The theme does not have to be big it can be like 2 rollar coaster rides, 3 other types of rides, and like 2 motion picture rides.
