i was thinking more like "The incredible hulk" becomes "Frasier: The Ride"

looking forward to what pki has in store for us in 2004..... and 2005.....
At least Fox isn't in the running. I would die if I saw a Bonzai themed area.
Will Dueling Dragons produce more g-forces on this orange than The Incredible Hulk?

PLACE BETS NOW!!!

I let the world down when I said "honestly I don't know where I put it"

Pity you Americans get the less offensive shows of Bonzai.
my question is, what becomes of themed areas such as "jurassic park" and new attractions themed to "The Mummy".... does the winning bidder also obtain the rights to the movies, or is just the theme parks up for grabs?

Now tell me Cedar Point is running out of space.

The highest bidder gets all of Universal, the studios, the theme parks, the movie rights. This is not just for the amusement parks.

If given the choice I'd choose a hamburger over a hotdog anyday of the week.

Shouldnt GE be listed as the bidder not NBC, or is the media trying to cover that link, it doesnt make any sense. GE I think is way too big in the first place but this could put it past wal mart on the 500 next year.
Is it wrong that I'd like to see "Law & Order 3-D"?

Well Viacom is another Bidder yet they are owned by Westinghouse to my knowledge.
