What company is that? The only company I know that deal both with Universal and Sea World Parks (Including Busch Gardens) is the Blackstone group. But I have not heard about that, HHN isn't my thing, been a few times and it doesn't interest me. I've still heard Howl -O -Scream beats out HHN at Universal though. It's truth? Not sure.

The Jaws thing, of course it pisses me off. so did Back to The Future, Kongfrontation. Gringotta, the rumored ride that hasn't been confirmed by Univeral officially, looks to be somewhat of a thril like the Revenge of The Mummy. So If it is truly indeed replaced with something that can provide a reason for me to get on, I won't miss Jaws for "excitement" reasons.

Jaws was more of nostalgia than anything iMHO.

One thing Disney has on Universal is Space.Universal has a bit of space left on propety now to add on to it's two parks. Universal would be forced to build a new park before Disney if it wanted too and if it plans on buy back the land it sold early in the last decade. Thats the only new park we may see for Orlando theme parks. Outside of Orlando who knows, it's up in the air.

However Universal May be building a New Water park not far from where their new Hotel - Cabana Bay Resort is going.

Yes! thats the company, and howl o scream 1 to 10 scale just rating haunted houses and shows i'd say 7 but hhns is a solid 10, lines at howl o scream used to not be bad now the lines for houses can be a nice 1hr to 2hr wait on weekends unless u buy a cheap fast pass HHNs if wanna do everything look to spend abot 180 out of state on weekends it's ridiculous. When I heard about jaws and the whole town bing changed it wasn't cool it was a classic an back to the future was soo much better than the simpons, ET and T2 i've heard are next to go :/

ET isn't going anywhere haha. It'll be Shrek and T2 before ET .

That is exactly why Disney won't build a new park. They don't have to close down rides and replace them. They can add on to the space they have.

It'd be nice to See Disney Build a new water park though.

Actually Disney did close a ride to make room for the new area .

A big issue Disney would have if they decide to build a new theme park would be staffing it,they have issues staffing their current parks as it is now.I'm big into theme parks and I've been reading Screamscape.com for like 14-15 years,right around the construction of Islands of Adventure as it was being built.Avatarland at Animal Kingdom is only a section of the park and from drawings it appears the two new rides that will go in there will be a boat ride and a ride similar to Soarin,probably in 3-D.As far as the rumors of Disney building a new park somewhere else in the US,keep dreaming as those rumors of a new park in Virginia or Texas have been around for like 15-20 years,every now and then they pop up but nothing ever comes if it.Disney will continue expanding outside the US and updating their US parks but I do believe they better add a new park in Orlando sometime soon,the most likely addition might be a new Star Wars section at Hollywood Studios,I've looked at maps and could easily see an addition.Universal although they really don't have much room left except for a couple of hotels and a waterpark is the park I feel that would build a new park right now if they could,even if they don't they recently announced that aside from the current products you can expect one or two new major additions to the parks,the likely candidates are a new ride in Jurrassic Park and a Grinch or Lorax coaster that would go inside the Poseidon's Fury building shrinking the Lost Continent even more.

The space is being refurbished for Princess Fairytale Hall -- Meet and greet area.

Let's put it this way, TDO will drop $1.5 billion into NextGen FP+. That is $1.5 billion that could have been put into the parks and resorts to maintain rides (Splash, Space, Everest, Soarin, etc.) and resorts (Poly refurb that has been delayed).

Yeah I know, which is why after 2012 we are no longer renewing out Disney Annual Passes. Switching to a better experienced theme park. It sucks TDO is that careless of their property (Parks wise)
