    Universal Announces Texas Resort

    I didn't say South Austin. I said a bit South (of DFW) in the Austin area. I was actually thinking in the Jarrell/Saledo area before you get to Waco. 2 hours from DFW, 2 hours from San Antonio, 2 1/2 hours from Houston, 1 hour from Austin, 5 hours from OK and LA + you don't get as cold a weather...

    Universal Announces Texas Resort

    Haven't posted on this forum in a long, but just wanted to chime in here. I think this is a tremendous, aggressive move by Comcast and Universal. In line with Roberts goal of overtaking Disney. Texas is a great opportunity for major theme park lands and this is a great first step. Right now...

    Disney's Next Acquisition Speculation / Discussion

    I can see the appeal for Epic Games, but their growth has been significant to the point their multiple would almost make it financially prohibitive. Plus if Sweeney sells the most likely buyer is Tencent since they own 40% of the business. I know exactly what you are alluding to. Your statement...

    Disney's Next Acquisition Speculation / Discussion

    As someone who has seen the source code and the testing framework for some of Disney's biggest software programs I disagree, but I digress. My post on M&A is my opinion, you disagree. It's fine.

    Disney's Next Acquisition Speculation / Discussion

    I just took his comment as them prioritizing sofware development, an area they have historically struggled in, not necessarily that they are shopping. Metaverse has different meanings (for me it's just PS Home 2.0), but for them to even achieve what you are saying they need to acquire a...

    Disney’s Q1 FY22 Earnings Results Webcast

    Unrealistic expectations. 1) Comcast has to want to sell their 33% equity in Hulu before being forced to in Jan 2024. It's a two way street and according to execs at Comcast they are happy to wait. According to the trades Comcast currently values their 33% equity at 15B where according to...

    Disney's Next Acquisition Speculation / Discussion

    TLDR; I think Chapek and the Disney board should be targeting game publishers and developers. First post in probably well over a year in this forum. Just posting to give my opinion on this as recent M&A movements have made me think of this. First of all we have to consider that Disney has...

    Where is the expansion to Marvel Super Hero Island that insiders said was coming? And when is Storm ride reopening?

    Companies file patents all the time for a plethora of reasons ranging from protecting their interest to new ideas that make it to market to try to make money off the patent to nothingburgers. People were loud about that being an Iron Man ride at the time because 1) That patent came to the...

    Not mad. You are though, obviously. And I know why. It's going to be okay though. Relax and take a deep breath.

    Where is the expansion to Marvel Super Hero Island that insiders said was coming? And when is Storm ride reopening?

    Yes I did pick up plenty of new hobbies during these trying times! Thank you so much for asking! Still not looking for a "fight", but if thinking that will help you sleep better at night then you do you. I can understand why you are upset.

    Where is the expansion to Marvel Super Hero Island that insiders said was coming? And when is Storm ride reopening?

    Yeah, sure they dropped it in favor of Jimmy or whatever because "insiders" told you...Very simple. Wanna buy a bridge that I have for sale? Btw, I'm not looking to pick a fight dude. You and others are being passive aggressive to me calling people out who were being rude in that OT to the...

    Where is the expansion to Marvel Super Hero Island that insiders said was coming? And when is Storm ride reopening?

    There were....people spreading FUD. I can imagine the conversation and decision at the board of directors. Hey guys, best use of capital? A) Expand MSHI and cash in on the MCU's popularity or B) A ride based on Jimmy Fallon and his falling TV ratings where no one outside the US know who he is?

    Where is the expansion to Marvel Super Hero Island that insiders said was coming? And when is Storm ride reopening?

    I am certain there hasn't been any plans and people were just spreading FUD. As I mentioned in the OP there has been a crapload of announcements by both Disney regarding their Marvel plans and Universal expansions, including in IOA with Velocicoaster, yet nothing on MSHI even though Marvel has...

    We were told it was coming "soon" 5 years before covid. I don't buy that excuse.
