Ownership of Universal Orlando?

[Disney4648]

Anyone have any knowledge of exactly how equity much Blackstone owns of Universal Orlando?

Scroll about halfway down to see UO's specifics....Six Flags is also on their ownership list.

I don't know about that investment, but now Universal Orlando (Part of NBC-Universal) is owned by General Electric.

Blackstone Group owns a 50% share of the resort. They are not involved in the resort's management or any important decisions, however. They're basically just investors.
