Found this channel while binging Universal Orlando related content (I’ll be heading out to the park relatively soon). Love your videos, keep up the good work! Also, any chance you could do a video on the old 7th Portal 3D ride? I remember checking it out years ago, but hardly anyone remembers it was actually a thing.

Thank you so much Comic Books vs The World! We appreciate the support and hope you enjoy whenever you head to the Universal Orlando Resort, its definitely worth the trip!

Also they couldn't afford universal Studios and all the companies under it's umbrella, as Disney owns Touchstone studios and partial rights to DreamWorks studios as well as Marvel, Lucasfilm/Lucasarts, Pixar, Fox , ESPN, hulu, Disney Animation Studios, Disney Studios, ABC, Freeform, A&E, ABC Family world Wide, Animation, FX (all versions) National Geographic and Nat Geo, Disney Channel, Disney Jr, Disney Radio ( sold off to individual stations) Disney XD (Formerly ToonDisney) Disney Television Animation, It's a Laugh Productions, Lifetime, Viceland ( 10 % Stake) Jim Henson Productions, History Network, ( history, military history, h2 and History espanol) Fox life, Babytv and baby first, they used to have a contract with MGM and Turner classic movies as well ( hence the closing of the Great Movie ride, their contract was to expensive to renew and they've been focusing on bring stuff to the parks that they own outright from now on to ensure budget is met. At one point Disney even owned Power Rangers but sold them back to Saben and even held rights to Barbie who was also at the parks alongside the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Roger Rabbit, Dick Tracy, and Pearl Harbor, Alien, Lassie, Zoro, and so much more. Disney is truly bigger than many realize and they're going to continue to grow and dominate, 6 out of 10 movies in theaters every month are a Disney or Disney umbrella film being shown and Dominating box offices and breaking records. Universal Hope's to combat this growth in parks with the addition of a Nintendo World and more updated Jurassic World area attractions as well as updates to Harry Potter area. Disney is launching the 16 acre Star wars land in June and September in both parks as well as a New Marvel area, Pixar Pier has opened in California as well as a Guardians of the Galaxy mission break out attraction, and Toy Story land in both parks, Tron is the next attraction being built at Disney as well, and a New spiderman experience will be added in California where you'll feel what it is like to have superpowers and don a suit. So, that's just a brief history of Disney and universal, for an interesting read check out Storming the Castle a book about the bane of Disney being Comcast and comcast's quest to buy Disney.

@@ThemeParkHistory I love the history and Simpsons episodes first to last which this video reminds me. Do you remember when Homer Simpson took down Fantasy Land on an Episode of LA Law? Yes Homer is a hero to me for that you love his antics and silly nonsense he does a lot. fans wanted as Simpsons movie sequel I asked when it would come out. a real Quicky Mart was made yes it did happen. Which means fans can do shopping getting products that you see from the Simpsons television show? but there is no Moes Tavern anywhere or a summer Camp Krusty. which is better off staying in the show where it belongs. I am curious if any Simpsons video games will ever come out for the X Box One. not I think this will happen but a cross over Simpsons Family Guy movie would be really nice.

I went to Orlando recently on a band trip, and I just remember all my friends complaining about the long ass line at Luigi's while I was next door at the Frying Dutchman with basically no line. To this day it's still some of the greasiest seafood I've ever had. But I agree on the tater tots, but you HAVE to try the coconut shrimp if you ever go back. It's probably my favorite thing there, and I'm not even that fond of coconut.

Now that Disney owns the Simpsons, there might be issues with Universal
@ThemeParkHistory 5 жыл бұрын
I doubt the ride will be taken down in the near future. Disney can't just come in and tell Universal to take everything down because they own Fox now, Fox and Universal have a contract in place. If Disney were to try that, Universal would most likely sue and it could take years for a judge to make a decision. Honestly I don't see The Simpsons fitting in to any of the Disney Parks and Disney will just honor the contract that has already been in place for over 10 years. They don't gain anything by trying to remove the attraction, as not only wouldn't they get their cut of the profits due to the contract but they would need at least 2 years to build a new attraction.
@sierravigil-trujillo7873 5 жыл бұрын
I doubt it because Disney has owned Marvel for much longer and the Hulk coaster and the Spider-Man ride are still around. Plus Disney isn’t allowed to use certain Marvel characters in Walt Disney World because Universal still owns the ride rights to them.

When a new Theme Park History video drops, you just gotta drop everything you’re doing and watch! I get slight motion sickness now from the scene where we fly off the wooden ramp and it makes your brain believe you’re doing somewhat of a barrel roll. I wish the ride film would be updated. It’s showing its age. Springfield is an awesome area to have lunch and hang out at USF. Great video as always Jack! 👍🏻

I think that's the only part during the attraction I still close my eyes, I can't just register what is going on in the scene. It's like that VR for me in general. It's a shame that the ride is in the shape its in after the massive upgrade to the area near it, I really do think that whenever the attraction and area closes (whenever that is), the building has to been torn down. Thank you for watching Michael!

I've ridden the USH version and it's TOP NOTCH! I wasn't even aware of its presence in the park (and confused as it was 20CF IP) but I MARVELED at its immersiveness. I absolutely felt like I was walking through Springfield. And the ride, story, and script were HYSTERICAL! Marge (on the out of control roller coaster) screams, "We're all gonna DIE!" Homer replies, "No we're not, Marge! Theme parks won't LET you die as long as you've got one single dollar left in your pocket!". Their riffs on ALL the theme parks and entertainment companies was pure Simpsons.

I remember when they first opened this ride. I was in the 5th grade and fox did a promotion for it. Answer Simpson's trivia correctly and one person would win 4 tickets to universal and a week at the hardrock hotel. My mom ended up winning. My dad lucked out and met godsmack at the pool. I saw them live that night. Only thing though. Roaches. The hardrock hard a roach problem. That may have just been something they were dealing with when I was there and I know roaches are everywhere but still. You don't expect roaches in your coffee at the hardrock.

Also Disney could offer some other franchises like Family Guy and Planet of the Apes as a bargaining chip to cheapen the deal. Then everyone's happy
