You really cant go anywhere on these forums and not find some kind of conversation that has absolutely nothing to do with the thread at hand. Can we just freaking start a thread for off topic conversations? I feel like that's all I ever run into anyways nowadays.

Every post on the previous page had some connect with "Universal Expansion". I don't understand the complaint.

It would if Universal purchased them, I believe that was the topic of conversation.

Granted though topics of conversation do go offline now and again, I'm guilty of it as are others, but isn't that natural when conversing with others? I understand that we don't want to derail threads but nor would we want no stifle conversation, after all isn't that where most good ideas come from?

Sea World does if Universal looks to purchase it. And that's what those posters were speculating about. That's completely on subject.

Agreed completely...OU and Magic are just about the only sites that still have vibrant conversation forums. Nearly all the other Theme Park site forums have collapsed into near nothing. And this site has recovered from the lower postings of a year or two ago. Why mess with something that is successful & booming with conversation. If we only talked about current hard news & info there would be little to discuss, since so very little proven information is released. Thus the speculation. And the speculative discussions end up spurring some great ideas & thoughts quite often. And, as Trigg says, that's natural conversation. The hard news released info is all on the home page. It's updated well, but there's only so much of that info available. But that's easy to look at for information. If discussion is limited and censored, this Forum will go the way of all those others that are no longer significant. As long as conversations are friendly, courteous & respectful, I see no problem with them. The only problem results from rude, belligerent posters (not referring to USO) that show disrespect and hostility on the site. As Stan lee would say, "Nuff Said".

Micechat, ThemeParkReview, and DISBoards are still active but yeah, I don't think there are many "active" forums left outside of these five.

Yeah, not much and those three aren't what they once were. Theme Park Insider has almost disappeared. If they get 10 forum posts a week, they're lucky. And they don't even get much on their front page, same 9 or 10 posters saying the same thing every story. . OI Forum is gone. Universal Insider is a nice little site but their Forums aren't much, a tenth of OU at best. And that's about it. Not much out there at all.

It could also be that they just brought them out to show them how great everything they do is. It's always a good idea to get out and view these things on ground level in person to give perspective to plans and concepts and they could just be trying to help them visualize their plan.

You mean like what Disney did with their plans for EPCOT back in the late 60's? lol

It has come to my attention that all of this glorious theme park construction around the world is beginning to take its toll on major USA themed vendors. Perhaps some of it is greed, a "catch while catch-can" attitude that has gotten out of hand. It is unclear what effect it is having on UC at this point but it is a fact that outside relationships are disintegrating and sometimes disappearing. This can't be good in the long run.

really..? so acquiring new land close to future development land and possibly existing theme parks is not expansion talk? lol i rarely get into these type of conversations but really just seems like your not interested in this particular expansion talk so you are complaining about it. How much can you possibly talk about expansion talks without adding some "What if" fuel to the talks. loosen up.. its a forum.. conversate.

As far as I had last heard, Uni basically gave Nassal a blank check when it came to Volcano Bay. If there's anyone Uni has faith in, it seems to be Nassal.

Nassal has proven itself time and time again... Potter and Kong looks stunning they will need those relationships to be at its best for new expansions.

Yeah, I will never mention a company or the companies by name. I am sure it has happened before. IOA and AK at the same time must have been killah. But now the competition has gotten fierce, probably more-so because of Potter. China and Dubai are running some people into the ground. I worry that some will return to the US with PTSD.

:cool::geek:

Oh, Im loose as a goose.

Forgive me for not being much of a wild speculator. We know Universal bought that land. We pretty much know what it will be for. Now, can and will I speculate on what may go on that property? Absolutely. I have an imagination.

In my mind, Universal acquiring SeaWorld is so far fetched that it seemed to be off topic at the time. I see y'all's points. Do forgive me.
