Taken from TowersStreet, sounds like Uni have been trying to buy the houses near the parcel of land with one getting double its value!

That's a huge amount of land, looking forward to having an incredible park a bit closer to home!

Wouldn't Dr Who be a bit of an issue considering Disney is now involved with them? https://press.disney.co.uk/news/disney+-to-become-new-global-home-for-upcoming-seasons-of-doctor-who-outside-the-uk-&-ireland

This is what Merlin did with some of it's UK theme parks (minus Chessington as that land is very valuable). https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/2812377/Merlin-conjures-up-leaseback-deal.html Although it seems that has been part of another deal to pay off the debt that the land owner...

Do we actually know how it was filmed? I was just assuming that it was through some camera glasses hence the camera was attached to the glasses frame and not only are you getting only one side of the footage but it's filmed to the side of where your eye would be looking at it. I always had...

Great that they've been able to do this so early on!

Is it not just the Osprey claiming it's spot :look:

@Alicia you mentioned in your podcast about the two drop mechanisms for capacity, is it possible that the drop is more a show scene as I've done a BTS of 13 and the system resets very quickly. Here's some pictures of the drop track, we weren't allowed to take pictures in the room with all the...

Hope everyone is ok and continues to stay safe, thinking of you all!

Considering Andy knows what he is talking about I'd trust his judgement

Just because the CEO has said the park is not for sale, this really isn't the be all and end all. People can say things aren't for sale to make the person bidding to raise their price.

It helps that Legoland is probably the most profitable in terms of their theme park division plus Lego own roughly 35% of the group so have significant influence on how the company is run.

Personally I would rather have Merlin running the parks over Blackstone for a few reasons. Blackstone took $610 million in dividends out the parks which could have been reinvested in a capex cycle. Whilst they have made a few additions to the parks they've cut plenty of potential additions eg...

I'd argue now that the main reason people go to Orlando is because of both resorts rather than just one.

With regards to the DC rights, could Marvel say that it's a conflict of interest and use that as a reason to pull the rights with Uni seeing as DC and Marvel are both rivals.

This was the statement they put out.

Didn't get to do that on my last trip to Florida, was way too small for me! Yeah I'll give you painful :tongue: We did it at 2am, back row after oktoberfest, you can imagine how that went!
