You do realize that three rides opened within the last 6 years at WDW are princess based, right (SDMT, LM and FEA)? The most popular Table Service meal opened recently is also based on a princess (BatB). They replaced a RIDE with a Princess Meet & Greet. Tokyo just recently announced that they're building a Tangled boat ride and Hong Kong, Paris and Tokyo are all building Frozen Ever After. Moana is getting a show in Hong Kong. They are not shying away from princesses at all.I strongly don't believe any Potter related IPs will be in the new park...its getting close to hitting peak saturation and anything more may actually turn people off. Its a lesson Disney had to learn once it realized they were relying too heavily on princesses which ostracized other demographics in which they lacked (Hints Marvel and Star Wars)
WWE supposedly didn't want to have their HOF/Restaurant in CityWalk because IMPACT! tapes in the Sound Stages like 3 days a year. And that's WWE.I've read the Marvel contract a while ago, but don't remember anything precluding it in there, though I may be misremembering. I don't see why either company would mind. If they were in the same park? Sure. But they're both going to make merch and ticket money off the respective lands, so I dunno what the issue would be.
Probably, but after reading Uni's plan with how they want to use facial recognition tech. It makes me think they want to get rid of "gates". Then this "World" thing pops up. Here is a link to what I'm referring too.Heh naw I think it really is just vibing on Super Nintendo World and Wizarding World. Dreamworks World and [REDACTED] World, along with uh... some sort of futuristic portal thing or whatever Universal decides to code their "main street".
To clear up the WB thing. I do not believe that any WB other than possibly Potter will be showing up. There were very serious negotiations for LotR but, from what was told to me, with 2 of WB's largest franchises in the park WB wanted more than just money. They wanted "Branding". So lots of options were discussed including a dedicated WB gate. I believe the negotiations fizzled out with Uni walking for several reasons.
But, "Fantastic Worlds" did cause a raised eyebrow because "Warner Bros. World" was the gate name mentioned.

Or just the servers go down like happens some times at WDW.That’s pretty awesome, but also kinda creepy. What would happen if someone were to hack the servers?
The Frozen rides will not be exact clones of what’s in Epcot. I’ve asked this before on the other site that nails Disney info.You do realize that three rides opened within the last 6 years at WDW are princess based, right (SDMT, LM and FEA)?

They're using other properties because they've pretty much used the princesses for all they're worth in most cases. They've also under-utilized properties like Star Wars and Marvel, etc. All they are doing is trying to make full use of all of the IPs that they have.
That has more to do with gameplay. I think in this situation they would know to let people film, especially with how Universal already knows what good marketing it is.On a seperate note, I wonder how they’ll approach the marketing of Nintendo World, seeing as that will likely be the main draw of the new park. Given Nintendo’s history with Youtube, it doesn’t seem like they would want Let’s Players or even Nintendo fan sites to cover the park’s opening but that’s a potential audience of millions of kids they could be losing out on.

I'm really getting a bad feeling about this "Worlds" thing. Would Uni be dumb enough to try a redefine "gates" as "Worlds"?
The current resort could be 4 "world's"
Wizarding World of JK Rowling
World of Movies
World of Adventure
World of Water: Volcano Bay
New resort could be
World of DreamWorks
Super Nintendo World
World of Monsters
There, 7 "gates"! Way more than DizzyWhirl! We WIN!
