An article in today's The New York Times may have leaked some future plans for Disney's Hollywood Studios ahead of an announcement from Disney:
Two notes of interest in the article:Originally Posted by Brooks Barnes | The New York Times
1) Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is listed in the Graphic for Disney's Hollywood Studios as "Re-Themed Roller Coaster" (overhauled).
2) A reference is made to a Black Panther Roller coaster in the same comment as also appearing to refer to the Incredibles overlay of Pixar Place.
Connecting the dots, this could; be an indication of a Black Panther overhaul for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster that may have been shared to the press prematurely.
Rampant internet banter is still not clear if Black Panther is one of the characters Disney can use in their Walt Disney World theme parks, but there have been persistent Rumours that Disney has gone back to the negotiating table with NBC Universal to free up some of the (for practical purposes) unused characters from the current contract.
Even if the Black Panther comment was for commentary sake only, it seems more concrete that an overhaul of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is in the works.
While it wouldn't be the first time a newspaper made an error regarding a Disney theme park (did you know Disneyland is in Florida?), but it is an oddly specific error to make.
