Dr. Doom Refurbishment

[Freak]

Apparently Dr. Doom just went under the knife for a major refurb.

I read one of Midway Mayhem's Insta stories that said that he heard that the towers used for the ride have fulfilled their lifespan. Now they have to rebuild the towers completely to extend the rides's warranty. Any idea how long it will be? It sounds like it won't be open when I go mid-September.

Looks like the ride was operational even with the top towers removed. Interesting to see how this plays out. Maybe a situation like hulk where the whole ride is removed temporarily

No rumors of an Avenger's dark ride yet?

Pretty sure this is confirmation of an Wizard of Oz land replacement.

Ride never goes down, one tower is replaced as the other remains operational?

I just saw pictures of work being done on the towers. Didn’t realize it was still operating.

While they’re not going to so this is purely for fun speculation, is there room for a theatre the size of Bourne to be there? I feel this land would round out better with that there instead of Doom, a show with Marvel characters using Bourne tech sounds like a dream.

Heck, they have an unused theater sitting a hundred yards, or so away, and another unused theater across the lake.

I mean of course, but don’t get me going lol

There are S&S space shots that have been around longer than doom so the warranty thing doesn't really make much sense, unless Universal got a different warranty

I think Freak misspoke, probably means it's nearing end of useful life and will be replaced.

Their warranty is the Disney CPA is knocking and asking if the children are doing okay.

The tops of the towers are sitting behind the ride, and they are building scaffold around them. Looks like some cosmetic work

Cosmetic work I'm guessing

This is Marvel land, so everything has to be kept pretty (not that other lands aren't)

Come to think of it, I don't know the last time Doom received a large refurb like this

 

[Mad Dog]

Seems like they did some fairly significant renovations just a few years ago.

Not true actually. Uni hosts a few cheerleading comps that end up using the Toon Lagoon theater. They must generate enough revenue that makes it worth keeping just for those types of things.

Well yes, I knew that. But it's very minimal use. Nowhere near a full time use. Cheerleading and a few scattered other functions don't really offset the land usage in a park that has little room for expansion.

If they had the choice of taking it down for an IP based ride that can sell merchandise they'll start demo on it asap.

Using bourne's tech to make something like a motion comics with thought bubbles and sound effects written could be so cool!

If we ever see a new Marvel anything (other than a store) I will be shocked

I see minor upgrades and plussing in our future
