I find the most interesting thing about this deal is what is going to happen at IOA? I'm not sure that Disney will be able to make them close down Marvel Super Hero Island (in fact I hope they can't because Spiderman is just too good a ride), but at the same time it'd probably depend on what kind of deal Universal signed w/ Marvel to begin w/. If there is a need for extensions of use of characters that may be trouble for Universal.
My guess is, Disney will just be collecting the money on royalties and such from sales at Universal... very odd.
