Tiny, meaningless, OCD-fuelled changes. :P

CoasterCrazyChris: You changed tense! It should be "as they believe the idea to be" not "believed". :P Scrap that, I have replaced it with "fink" anyway. :P

DanDan: Stop misspelling!

Stop misspelling!

CoasterCrazyChris: But they don't need to buy the IPs because Disney/Universal own them anyway! :P Also, I deliberately changed it to Hex instead of Duel to avoid that user being offended.

DanDan: It was Duel, not Hex! Ooh and you spelt 'industry' wrong!

An '''intellectual property''' (often shortened to simply "'''IP'''") is a brand of media in some form that is owned by a specific company or group. This brand can be sold to a separate party for them to use in their marketing. Often, a popular intellectual property is bought by a company to gain attention from the shallow-minded fans of that particular franchise. For example, a failing brand of cereal may associate themselves with a popular [[football]] player in order to get [[Chav|football fans]] to buy their product. Basically, it is a cop out on so many levels.

===Intellectual properties and theme parks===
The theme park inductry is often mistaken to be nothing more than a branch of the film and television industry. This of course is not true, as a true theme park is a work of art in itself. A place of escapism, magic and [[Theatrical Brilliance|theatrical brilliance]]. However, sometimes this principle is ignored, leading to rides "based" on popular intellectual propeties. Some people simply do not realise that taking other people's ideas will in fact not lead to a unique and fantastic ride. It goes against the laws of [[John Wardley|Wardleyism]]! Of course, a sophistacted place like [[Alton Towers]] would have learnt from their mistakes with [[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]. Trust me, they will never go there again...

Shrek? You must be kidding?!

Anyway, what I was saying was that some people [[Fail|fail]] to understand that their "wikid" plans to, for example, retheme [[Hex]] into a "Nazi Zombies"-based ride will not actually be as "well gud innit" as think.

Oh, you want to know what I think of your "well sick" idea? I '''HATE''' your plans for a Twilight themed [[Rollercoaster|rollercoaster]] with 100 loops in the [[Black Hole Tent|Black Hole tent]]. Go back to your bin and leave my theme park alone!

-On the other hand, ''some'' rides and attractions based on media brand ''do'' work extremely well, as proven by the [[Universal Studios]] and [[Disney]] them parks. However, this is an exception because they only theme rides on brands that they own anyway.

-Anwyay they don't count! Really, it is just best to keep theme parks safe from IPs unless they are failing miserably, especially if they are in England. Don't question, just accept!

-... Meanwhile, SOME IP rides and attractions do work as proven by [[Universal Studios]] and [[Disney]] theme parks, who literally live off their IP thanks to films, television, cartoons etc. Surprisingly they make it work very well, depending on your mileage.
