If it were true, Comcast would finally have their hands on Disney like they tried and failed to do in 2004...

LOL! That's like the "Lasseter Resigns" article I saw today...

Aside from the misspelling of his name, I thought this was pretty clever...

Oh man, imagine the fun possibilities that would come out of it? Disney and Universal can share joint custody of Marvel.

Don't do that to me. My heart is weak. I nearly had an attack.

I think that is one of the things you don't have to worry about. Disney buys other companies, not the other way around.

My first thought when I saw this title, "What idiot got suckered by this lame April's Fool's Day joke?"

What makes this funny to me is the fact that Universal Studios has been sold so many times over the past few years. In fact, I've lost track of who is their current owner. Anyone know?

Really? Universal Studios is owned by Comcast?

Actually, it would explain why it looks like its going downhill last time I visited. Comcast = poor maintenance.

When exactly were you there last? Comcast announced the acquisition of NBC/Universal December 3 last year. And I could be wrong, but I don't thin NBC/Universal runs the parks in Orlando.

Just so you all are aware, due to this announcement there will be a format change for the board. We will be going to Universal Studios Audio and Music with a small section devoted to their Disney property

Great job MetalRage and I will give you an "A" for effort. Still doesn't beat the one I played on everybody last year. Next year I do hope to get another good one. I just didn't have any time to plan one out this year.

I wouldn't mind that at all. There is some good music in those parks (MIB area not included... maybe 1 or 2 songs are good).

To those of you wondering... I am serious.
