They have done a pretty good job with the Potter and Simpson's beers, IMO.

There's a big difference between going to a game...watching a game on tv...and going to a venue exclusively dedicated to it. Going to games can be quite fun, but beyond that... I mean, there is clear proof that this doesn't work sitting right there at Universal.

Those could merely be decorative. Functional brewery equipment should not be placed in a windowed tower in Florida. Believe me, I would love for the brewery to be on-site, but I suspect the exclusive brew will be brewed offsite by Florida Beer Company.

The on-site brewery seems to have been nixed. It was not mentioned in the press materials.

Just in case you needed any more proof that Disney wants to merely be lessor collecting big fat rent checks...they make this deal. If this is, in fact, replacing Disney Quest, they should have went all out and made this a large ESPN experience...you know, THEIR BRAND! I am speechless over this...

Nice to see that some things never change. Thanks for the laugh JT!

I'm absolutely flummoxed by this announcement.

Strong Water Tavern and Rum Bar coming next year to Loews' Sapphire Falls at Universal Orlando Resort: Art courtesy of BestOfOrlando blog. More renderings and details here: http://www.bestoforlando.com/articles/first-look-new-renderings-loews-sapphire-falls-resort/

Nothing of circumstance for Dis today. USH announced its Potter stuff today. Some concept art for Sapphire Falls was released by BestofOrlando blog. The resort will feature a nice looking bar that should have some DisFans a bit jealous.

Well, I tried to get people to discuss China and Stock Buybacks on Twitter, but no dice. Congrats @flynnibus and @ParentsOf4 on connecting all the dots for me with the buybacks. Scary stuff.

The thing is, this is a $5B US investment in China by one of our biggest media conglomerates. My mind has been running wild with the implications since I read that post last night. What protects Disney from China seizing complete control once the park is complete and the staff is trained...

Done, and I'll do it again in the morning

No offense Spirit, while I find you quite the storyteller, I don't think even you're good enough to come up with that China drama. Yow. ;-) Oh by the way, TEA numbers were supposed to be released tomorrow (today?) but have suddenly been delayed until Wednesday....

Right, Kong will be bigger ;-)

Thanks. What can I say? I'm drawn to Marvel contract threads like fanbois to the Orange Bird.

"as portrayed in Marvel’s exploitation of such character in comics or other products for the particular time period being depicted by MCA (now NBC Universal)"

The legal implications of doing so would be folly. It is in Universal's best interests to keep it a general Marvel Island. It is hard to project how popular certain characters will be for all eternity.

Isn't that kinda like addition by subtraction?

Oh boy, what did I do? :looksaround:

Hey pal :wave:
