Disney had to pay rights to Twilight Zone, which it didn't own, and they didn't like doing that.

And they realized that kids had no idea what the Twilight Zone was.

Tragedy.

Tragedy.

And so Disney rethemed it around Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy.

And the attraction has become like twice as popular since then.

But at Disney World, they did keep the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

They can't use the Marvel superheroes in Florida because Universal has those rights.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

In 2024, Disney and Universal had a combined $10 billion in profit from their theme park divisions.

A decade earlier, it was $2 billion.

So if you're a shareholder looking at growth in various businesses, that's something where you want to put more money, and the companies are doing that, and that's a way to expand the value of movies.

One of the reasons that Universal sold Wicked so hard, right?

Wicked, Wicked, Wicked.

Was to make the movie a success, but also, you know, they haven't announced anything, but you can bet there will be a wicked land.

Yeah.

You know.

I now go to the parks primarily for my job, right?

I'm usually reporting when I'm in them.
