The Spirited 11th Hour ...

Starwood accepted Marriotts upped offer and as part of that they can no longer entertain more bids. I'm happy because now I have somewhere onsite to use my points

Looks like Anbang just added $2.8B to the Marriott offer. New price tag is $15B.

If Starwood agreed to Marriott's upped offer, how can Starwood possibly be able to look at any other offer?

I can't believe this deal is still dragging out. Just a week ago you had this - http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2016/03/21/marriott-tops-anbang-wins-starwood-with-136b-bid/

That 13.6 topped Anbangs 13.2 and they already cleared regulatory hurdles and bumped up the back out fee to 450 million to help avoid exactly what just happened. And they STILL came back with13.9. They must REALLY want Starwood lol

It get's Angbang's money OUT of China and the reach of the CCP, I suspect the sky's the limit for this deal from Angbang's PoV.

Money talks, The board would be hard pressed to explain why they passed up a couple extra billion dollars for shareholders.

When we see a limited edition Tower of Terror shirt, then we can panic.

It'll be a big blowout sale of all the Hollywood Tower Hotel merchandise line items.

If Starwood walks away from the Marriott deal they have to pay a $450M breakup fee. Usually these types of deals always have an out clause with some sort of compensation if the deal falls through.

$28 for that "limited edition" tee with a 3-5 week shipping time. That's just silly.

I just saw a video detailing creatures in the Kong ride. It looks like this will be another attraction that is 90 percent screens for Universal.

Nope. Insiders confirm that it's moreso 50/50.

Is there an estimated opening date other than "summer" yet?

Rumors on Orlando United have said it could soft open late next month but I don't really know.

I hope to ride both this summer if all goes to plan, and the new Soarin.
