So who did import it. You neaver mentioned who imported and nobody suggested anybody besides trump. I personity think trump would have jumped at the chance to improt spice world in the wake of the John K scandal
You're correct I apologize.
It was Trump, and it was right around the time he hired Harvey Weinstein to help turn Trump Manhattan around.
Do you think they could be a minor scandal about donnie going to congrutle the spice girls on the succes of thier movie in ameica and then make one his singutue sexist comments. Also what the next meaty update
Next meaty update will be a new Universal park on the OTL Islands of Adventure site.
For the next meaty update, shall we stick with the Islands of Adventure name for Universal's second Orlando park, or is there another name you guys would like to suggest?
How do you feel about naming it Orlando Islands Adventure Theme Park?
This just in...

Islands of Adventure opens
After hurricane damage to construction equipment delayed the opening one year, Universal's Islands of Adventure finally opened on April 28, 2000.
The overall theme for Islands of Adventure is that of a journey of exploration.
With a man made lake acting as the center of the park, Islands of Adventure is divided into six realms:
Port of Entry:
Same as OTL, the Main Street area of the park, which doesn't have any rides, but does have restaurants and shops.
Gemini City:
Located where Marvel Super Hero Island sits IOTL. Home to Captain Thunder, the Blue Beetle and so many others. Be sure to look for a street corner sign post with "Charlton" and "Fawcett."
Toon Lagoon:
Relatively the same as OTL except ITTL, the rights to the Jay Ward characters were picked up by Hemdale a decade ago. Basically, you'll have to make the drive down to Hyperion Studios to see Rocky, Bullwinkle and Dudley Do Right at the Animation Celebration Parade, or in a series of new rides along Dopey Drive. At Toon Lagoon, you mainly get to see water rides based on the comic strip characters of King Features Syndicate like Blondie, Hagar the Horrible and others. Or...you could retheme this into DreamWorks Pond or something like that.
Seuss Landing:
Same as OTL. Self explanatory.
Lost Continent:
Same as OTL, although down the road, it could change into something else.
Jurassic Park:
Do you really need to ask what else would be at this realm?

Gladiator
Released ITTL by Grand Diamond in association with Scott Free.
Gladiator would go on to become the second highest grossing film of 2000 and earn several Oscar nominations.
The story is pretty much the same as OTL.
MPAA membership as of 2000, as it appears on a plaque at MPAA headquarters in Encino, California.

Other than asking about the next meaty update I've got an idea of what to change Lost Continent into. Just have Atlantis: The Lost Empire be a Universal movie and retheme Lost Continent on a resurfaced Atlantis.
Les Mis in 2002 at Disney, Chicken Run should end up at UA ITTL (it should begin with the Hexagon logo as a throwback to The Great Escape), and Corpse Bride should be at MGM or New Line
Great idea, and if Atlantis has some flaws that can be corrected, that could be the title that can trigger a turnaround for Gemini.
Thanks. For Les Miserables, what changes would be necessary to fit within a 90 minute running time?
I guess cutting Epione and the love triangle with Marius would help
