Amazon-MGM Studios and Netflix Theme Parks?

So Lance Hart of Screamscape posted a couple of interesting things last month:

A possible new player in the business: who wants to visit Amazon World?

Following Amazon's recent purchase of MGM, does the online retailer have the IP and the motivation to create a new theme park?

Might Disney and Universal have some competition going forward? I would venture that Amazon could really compete on the same level. Where do you think they would try to have a park (and would they buy an already existing one)?

So one IP that Amazon would probably want to use is Wheel of Time (which Bezos wants to be the next Game of Thrones). For production, they even built their own town over in Prague—and then burned it down! The production cost per episode is $10 million. Imagine if they were willing to spend that sort of money on a theme park land!

It would be more wise for Netflix to officially pair with Universal Studios Florida and have some production that does not happen in Ga, go on down the road in FL's Stages. Revitalizing the way Nick had the partnership for some of their shows, but with much less travel from Ca to FL with most things happening in Ga.
