Big Land sale coming up down the road on November 18.

It would be funny if Avengers is what's going up against Star Wars Land. Either way, Disney wins.

Big Land sale coming up down the road on November 18.

Yep. 400 acres. East of Universal Blvd. and south of Sand Lake Rd. ( Lockheed land)

Is this something Universal would have any interest in/potentially buy?

I'd be amazed if they weren't at least seriously considering it. If nothing else, it's a safety valve if/when they seriously start considering a 3rd park

They used to own it, until it was decided that cleanup was too costly. I could see them buying it again, if they already owned it once.

I believe several buyers are trying to make a deal before it goes to auction. Last I heard it was being bid around the $250 million mark?

I wonder if the mouse may buy it to block them out. Not much other available land near UO. Would love to see them add a third park eventually. My wallet wouldn't, but I've never listened to my wallet in the past so why start now..or then.

The mouse is fiscally conservative. They aren't going to blow hundreds of millions on a large piece of land that they don't need, just to spite Universal.

Please know that when I said "other things" I meant other things not related to Marvel.

Don't worry, assumed you meant non-Marvel

This is going to be the theme park community if we found out that Universal bought that land:

How much money will it cost them if universal start taking up 4 days of peoples week long vacation though. $250 mill would be a drop in the ocean.

 

[ThreePack Shagur]

$250 mil is even less to Comcast.

 

[Nick]

$250 mil is even less to Comcast.

I assume $250M would be the opening bid at the auction.

Do you know who one of those buyers is?
