True. But I could also see them saying they own Spiderman the Ride and now it'll be moving over to the Disney Studios park.

Disney owns ABC and ESPN. How come there's no Sports Center Ride? No costumed characters from Desperate Housewives or The Bachelor roaming the park? Why can't I stand in line to get my picture taken with a fake Howard Cosell?

3rd/5th gate perhaps?

Well, there is the ESPN Club(heck, they moved the monorail station to build it

) and when DCA opened wasn't there an ABC Soap Opera Bistro?

Well, there was Soap Opera bistro and Soap Star Weekends (celebrating ABC
soap operas) and ESPN The Weekend at Walt Disney Studios.

And unlike Indiana Jones and Star Tours, Disney is just another licensee not an outright owner like they'll be. While I doubt Disney will outright try to pull the Marvel elements from other theme parks, they certainly aren't hugely incetivized to compromise on any future deals.

If nothing else, it is job security for a lot of lawyers.

And don't forget Superstar Lame-o, chock full of ABC haz-beens.

Actually, I think we should all try to "forget" that one

And I must say the couple of times that I ate at the ESPN Zone the food was pretty good.

I stand corrected. I might go to Disneyland more often if I thought I could get a hug from Nelson Burton, Jr.
