Just loved this article kissing Universals butts. Here is what it says.

Quote:Despite Disneyland being the first movie theme park, how many times a week do you watch Dumbo or Peter Pan? Yeah, you love the thematics of all the Disney rides, but you feel a little too old to give your business solely to the mouse. On the other hand, Universal Studios gives you Jurassic Park and The Mummy; two of the most action packed and beloved franchises in movie history.

Now i LOVE USH, it my my third favorite park in CA (besides Disneyland and DCA) but come on Peter Pan and Dumbo are CLASSIC's and even if you might not think the movies aren't the ride ARE. Just want to point out his....opinion article.]]> http://www.coasterdom.com/2010/08/20/fiv...itinerary/

Quote:ORLANDO, Fla. -- There were some tense moments for passengers on a ride at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure Saturday afternoon. "Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges," a water ride, was stuck at about 4 p.m.

Universal employees were able to get everyone off the ride.

Orlando Fire Department Commander Vicki Robles said crews went to the scene to stand by in case employees needed help. Robles said there were no injuries and everyone got off the ride OK. Universal Studios representative Tom Schroder said there was a technical stop of the ride, which happens when an anomaly is detected.

He said the ride was checked out and is running again.

In other news, the 12:00 PM performance of WaterWorld was canceled today. Universal officials refused to comment when approached for an interview. Full story at 11.]]>

This maze to me (besides Saw) made the most since to me, it just had a new movie come out that was pretty successful (too me not that scary) but still I am happy to hear Freddy coming back, my guess is he'll be by Shrek.

Not sure if this means Jason is back too, lets hope not.]]> http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/21360

That's great news to hear. Universal desperately needs a hit on their hands. Hopefully they expand the franchise in the future with a sequel or perhaps even a ride.

When contacted a R-ADAG spokesperson declined to comment on reports of the company entering into a joint venture with Universal Studios.
 
WSJ quoted a source stating that the theme park would be spread across 400 acres with the location still to be finalized between Mumbai and Delhi. The park would be on the lines of Universal's theme parks in Los Angeles, Orlando and Japan. In addition to featuring properties based on Hollywood titles such as “Jaws” and “ET," the park would also include Bollywood-inspired offerings.

 But the WSJ report also warned that discussions are still ongoing and a deal could be reached this year but that talks are also at an early stage and could break down.

R-ADAG is DreamWorks' equal partner and also has various funding deals with A-listers such as Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey, Nicolas Cage and Brad Pitt. Reliance recently concluded an equal joint venture with CBS to launch a broadcasting venture here, details of which are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, a new theme park opened on the outskirts of Delhi Saturday called “The Kingdom of Dreams,” spread over six acres. A joint venture between event management company Wizcraft International Entertainment and the Apra Group of Companies, the theme park aims to offer an “incredible Indian experience” including a live Bollywood musical stage show and a handicrafts bazaar in addition to restaurants, bars and other offerings.
