    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @ThemeParkHistory
      @ThemeParkHistory  5 лет назад +86

      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.

    I still have the preshow clips memorized, I was obsessed with it when I was younger. Also damn that ad brought back some memories when it was on tv.
