Good point. I bet Universal will do wonderful things with Nintendo, but I bet any ride it comes up with won't be nearly as much fun as the games.

I can almost guarantee that. Games like Zelda are fantastic for hours upon hours of entertainment. They progressively get better as the stories build and you obtain more abilities. Cramming that into a short ride is going to take some major work. If anyone can do it, it's universal creative.

Any kid 8-11 that is pi$$ing and moaning about being "forced" to go to a high end theme park (either WDW or Uni) on vacation needs a slap. My advice, leave them home with a grandparent or some other relative. I guarantee that next time they won't say a word.
Some kids don't like theme parks. It's normal.

Good to see that SHIELD and Agent Carter both got renewed, and not that surprising given the vertical marketing opportunities it gives the Disney brand... but the real surprise was a renewal for Galavant, which I really liked a lot. Funny stuff there.

Or perhaps @hakunamatata 's son simply just enjoys what WDW has to offer. I know it seems to be a common opinion in these parts that it's impossible to have fun at WDW unless you're a "little princess," but believe it or not, kids are capable of their own choices and opinions.
I've shared my annecdotal experience often in the UO sub-forum, but my son (10) is a young budding nerd. He loves SciFi, Fantasy, comics, video games and such, but also intellectual pursuits like STEM. UO currently offers more IP's in his wheelhouse than WDW, especially HP. However, he prefers WDW in general (and AK in particular).
Why? It has nothing to with us; I was an UO TM for 7 years and we both enjoy the parks. No, despite UO having more characters that would interest him directly, he absolutely hates aggressive rides. I don't mean just thrill rides, but attractions with a lot of action or where the action is in your face. That doesn't leave as much for him to do at UO, whereas WDW offers more for his sensibilities even if the IP's aren't.

Anyone following this MCO tram death story? Crazy!
"An airline passenger was killed this morning when he was thrown through the windshield of a tram at Orlando International Airport and fell 15 feet to the ground below, officials said.
The accident happened about 5:35 a.m. when the tram made an emergency stop mid-way from the main terminal to the satellite terminal, which serves gates 1 through 29, where it was headed, according to airport spokeswoman Carolyn Fennell.
Normally, the trams are automated, but at the time of the accident, an employee of the airport contractor which operates the system — Bombardier Transportation — was on board and was operating it manually, something that Fennell said happens every morning."

Could USF approach 10 million for 2014?
And could IOA approach 9 million?
I'd be shocked if both have that much attendance before Kong, F&F, Fallon, the waterpark, Sapphire Falls, Nintendo, MSHI revamp, and other additions.

Quick spirited DIS stock news.
The Street pundits are predicting DIS will reach $140-150 a share by years end due to continued massive P&R performance, Star Wars products and the bevy of Hollywood muscle. That would be a $40 dollar increase from right now, that's completely absurd.

So would this be where Nintendo would be built?

Someone (I assume @ParentsOf4) predicted a split at around the $120-130 range. Rasulo said at some point last year I believe that there were no plans to split the stock, but I think it was around $80 then.

I believe Animal Actors may be on the chopping block as well.
One of the few USF 1990 stalwarts remaining. Kind of looks it too.

its my imagination.. or disneyland's monorails look thousand times better than WDW's?.
The Problem With Chinese Cooking is ...
As we (me?) talk about the huge Disney and UNI investments coming to mainland China, I thought I'd update y'all on a major development much closer to WDW that has been built by Chinese government owned companies and the problems therein.
This is a HUGE project that was originally supposed to open before last Christmas. It has been delayed at least three times already (after many people made reservations and vacations around it), it had a huge splashy TV national TV campaign since early in 2015 ... and again ...

This dude used to write for Motley Fool and was actually fairly ...well ... fair (as opposed to the Macau acrobat that is putting PR out for SDL's debut) has a piece out today on why Disney should fear the Big Monkey:
