Everyone seems to forget Disney does have thrill rides. Tower of Terror cannot be ridden by everyone, with its major elevator drops. And as for roller coasters-theirs may not be huge ones but they are thrilling and not very family oriented with 42" min heights. and I have heard talk even before the Marvel purchase that disney wanted to create an all thrill/roller coaster park.

Marvel is my favorite comics brand. I wish six flags had Marvel rather than D.C. The only superhero in D.C. I like is Batman. I think disney purchasing Marvel might incorporate some Marvel themed rides to their parks, but unfortunately the rides probrably wont be very big or thrilling. Nothing ever is with disney. Thats why six flags should have purchased Marvel. Or better yet- CEDAR FAIR! Then six flags would have D.C. and Cedar Fair would have Marvel and the two best amusement park companies would have the two best comic brands. But cedar fair would have the better one. Cedar fair really needs a license on something other than charlie brown. (snoopy) I've noticed alot of cedar's rides arent very well themed.

I won't be surprised if Disney cancells Punisher. Both movies have been R, and the Pirates trilogy bordered on R, but the rides Kept them from that R rating.

I`ve got an idea for a disney ride, an E.A.C coaster, like in finding nemo, youi ride in turtle-like cars as you ride along, the beginning is tame but for the finale, you remember the twisting torflex of terror, right?
