what did you think?
Hell, Marvel Superhero Island has X-Men and extremely popular Avengers characters, and even now it's quite lackluster.
Whatever they decide to go with, they need step it up and show some real focus and creativity.
Also, I think Robert mentioned this at one point, but Hasbro would be good as well, you already have Transformers, the my little pony franchise is huge, there could be something there.
I just think it would have to be a unique property, that doesn't really exist elsewhere (like how marvel is now) because that's a selling point.

It just seems there are more popular properties to develop attractions for.
The closest Six Flags to USF/IOA is 400 miles away.
Pokeball twirl - storm force
rainbow road or bowser for the hulk
super mario for spider-man
zelda for dr. doom
and a new interactive mario party game
Sega - In a word, no. Sega has basically 1 really well known property, Sonic. Everything else, yeah gamers know about, but the general public is clueless about. Remember, don't think of what you want to see, think of what people older and younger than you want to see. Sega, unfortunately, does not cut it.
Nintendo - More possible, but I see 2 issues. First, Japanese companies are not, traditionally, in favor of doing major deals with American companies. Second, the existing rides do not match what Nintendo is usually about. Yeah, Spider-Man could be adapted to anything. But I really do not see Nintendo putting one of their characters on the Hulk coaster, never mind Dr. Doom's Fear Fall.
DC - This one could fit the existing rides and theme. However, Universal would have to acquire the rights to DC, at least for Florida. I doubt that Six Flags would sell much more than the Florida rights (since, unlike Universal with Marvel, Six Flags has a ton of parks east of the Mississippi, so that kind of deal is probably off the table.)
If I were a betting man, I would think Universal would go after DC if they lost Marvel. But I don't think they will in the near future.
But overall, leave gaming on the screens at home and leave the Theam Park Rides to the Theme Parks.
Okay in all reality, why don't we try picking a property or franchise Universal already has rights too? Cause I doubt the gaming companies would really be that interested in having a theme-park land.
While a good idea and gaming is huge, let's look at the fact it doesn't really touch multiple generations. Gaming has only been a thing since the mid-late 1980's so that's a maybe 2 or 3 generations at best but doesn't appeal much to the over 50 crowd... and that's where the money is.
Nintendo would be the better brand as more people are familiar with their characters/product but considering they don't yet have a park in their native Japan, I doubt they'd suddenly build one or even a land here in the US before that.
Dr. Doom is a Levitation Spell gone wrong, Spiderman man rethemed for the Knightmare Bus
Stormforce a weather spell gone wrong.
Hulk repainted and themed for the Flying Car (with turbo)
Obviously the buildings bricked and refaced for London and HP is contained to one park
And what for Amity: Translyvania of course
Dracula's Winged Coaster, Frankenstein Dark Ride, a village for shopping, Walking tour for Wolfman, Mummy already featured in New York
Hulk is converted to Frankenstein transformation with Major Buildout to line and theme. Stormforce is blended in for Frankenstein's lair.
Spiderman is built in ensemble ride thru Transylvania with Von Helsing, Dr Doom is converted to a crazy scientist.
Reface the buildings with dark stucco and no neon and rest of decor to match.
Ampitheater is destroyed and Count Draculas winged Coaster launches over the lagoon
