^Screamscape reported that they may make an announcement on Jan 24th about something. Along with Jaws replacement they have also yet to say anything about the new water show or an opening date for Despicable Me.

I wish I would have known you were a TPR member as I would have included it with the other videos I did. I mainly didn't use it because the lens got all dirty towards the end. Glad to know we had a fellow member as one of our skippers!

No don't worry about it at all! I am just so stoked you guys came out for a Final Voyage, I'm not sure if you were there but after the final boat tour there was about 100 people gathered outside of the unload platform, we all started singing "Show me the way to go home". It was a great send off to the attraction and overall a day I will remember for the rest of my life, I am sad to see it go... But I think I wouldn't have wanted to leave any other way then we did that night.

Hate to be that guy and double post... But look who is back!!!

[RFV94I Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

Good to know that Bruce is back

Anyone knows if Rockit is operating these days?

Last I heard was that GE still owns 49% of NBC Universal and that Kabletown was more interested in the NBC/cable programming. Though it would be easy for them use synergy to advertise the hell out of it via they're cable and internet resources.

Like others have said, 51-49%s only exist so one owner or group has control over the company. Also Comcast apparently cares enough about theme parks to buy out private equity group Blackstone's share of UO when they announced they'd be selling it after the success of Potter (and be the first company owning 100% of UO in nearly two decades) .

The deal was definitely about television content, but it hasn't stopped comcast from really getting behind the spending at their parks.

Why did Jaws get demolished and not one of the areas? It's in the back of the park. It's that simple.

For those die-hard Jaws fans, check out what Universal Japan's version looks like...

[alpengeist04Why do I still have a donkey title???]

^That was awesome, thanks Robb. I couldn't understand a word they were saying, but at the same time I knew exactly what they were saying.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

It sounds even more exciting in Japanese.

[giscoStarbucks Enthusiast]

Yeah for the Japanese version!

[Thri!!erHarry Potter is a sick donkey.]

Have to agree with cfc and gisco. But what would (master of celebration) skipper Jakob think about?
