Refurbishment1995#

The Marvel Show closed in 1995, ending its run as a seasonal outdoor show in the New York City area of Universal Studios Florida.

Year-only closure; no month or day is given by any source found. The closing year is stated in Wikipedia's former-attractions list but is uncited there, and no second source could be opened to corroborate it. Nothing is documented as taking over the outdoor staging spot, so this is a plain closure rather than a reskin.

New1993#

The Marvel Show opened in the summer of 1993 as a seasonal outdoor show staged in front of and on the building to the left of the Firehouse facade in the park's New York City area.

Wikipedia's dedicated list of former USF attractions gives 'summer of 1993'; no finer date is available. The entire subsection is uncited on that page, so the year is held at low confidence. This is not a June 7, 1990 opening-day attraction.
