The brand doesn't seem to fit Disney's style IMO. So I guess we'll see the X-men and the Incredible Hulk in parades at the Magic Kingdoms? _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered.

I now what they could ahve done with a fraction of that money, turn a property in Aurora into Marval Land Lake. It will be interesting to see what happens over at IOA with the Incredible Hulk coasters and others. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed.

Again, I have to blame in part the issues there with the failed government leadership in the communities of Aurora, Bainbridge, etc for being clueless and inept how to handle the future of the property.

There is certainly a lot of blame to be had between these communities. I wonder how they feel now about the eyesore they helped create. Having spoke to some of these people they really don't seem to care, and that is very very sad. Its time to wake up and help their communities thrive once again by working toward making this land usable as it was intended and has been for the past 119 years. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed.
