With Disney having the streaming rights to Doctor Who, and Universal interested in opening a Universal Studios in Bedford, could we see a theme park wars regarding Doctor Who?
I can imagine Universal Studios wanting a Doctor Who Land in their British park because of it being an iconic British brand, but I can’t imagine Disney would be too happy if BBC Studios chose Universal over Disneyland Paris.
We know from DWM that Disney are pleased with how Doctor Who has been performing, and Disney also had the TARDIS briefly in the LA Disneyland. They already have shown an interest in Doctor Who being in a Disney park.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios will probably want to make Britain the USP of their Universal Studios Great Britain park.
Doctor Who could become the most lucrative property in the world of theme parks since the MCU.

Personally I hope Disney doesn’t get it. They’ve made nothing but poor choices with their theme parks for years.

I did hear a rumour there would be a Doctor Who theme park ride in the UK long before the Disney deal.
I don’t really mind who does it, I’d definitely visit!

The rule for Disney is to only make a land for their IPs years after said IP is no longer relevant/not as popular as it used to be.

Same here. Something where you enter into the TARDIS, and all of the rides are indoor inside the TARDIS, would be ideal. Kind of like the Doctor Who Experience’s walkthrough but on a much bigger scale.

The current TARDIS interior is perfect as a waterslide

Oh I would kill to go on a dark ride where the train enters the TARDIS doors and then inside you travel up the slopes and into the doors to reveal different areas, a huge world inside that little blue box

That would be cool. Fill it with animatronics of various Doctors, companions, and monsters.
