    SAMANTHA BOLING:
    "At DreamWorks' offices in Hollywood, we met with Bob Camp, who acquired the Ren and Stimpy property from a bankruptcy court seven years ago. In 2003, he successfully brought the characters back to cable television."

    BOLING:
    "Bob, in the last two and a half years, has 'Blair' responded to your reboot of the programme?"

    CAMP:
    "She has, and all of us were surprised to learn she liked it more than the original."

    "As a matter of fact, around the time we launched, we received a letter from her that said only two words:

    'Thank You.'"

    BOLING:
    "Since our story, 'Blair' says she is planning to continue undergoing therapy and has turned to painting and drawing to document her slow pace of healing. 'Blair' has also enrolled in a support group for sexual assault and rape survivors."

    As part of tying the movies in with the rides, Riverfront Square's POTC will be the first to add the movie characters to the ride's continuity:

    Here you go:

    "It has been ten years since the Worlds of Wonder resort opened in North Las Vegas. The resort, formerly known as Trump's Worlds of Wonder, has gone through some major renovations. During the park's season and a half under Trump Leisure, the park had a golden gilded facade. After the Luna Parks chain bought out Worlds of Wonder, the park's golden exterior was replaced by a rainbow façade. The initial 6 lands were the 1950’s suburbia themed Trumpville USA, the medieval themed Crownlands, the Ringling Bros/Barnum Bailey themed Circus Land, the futuristic Alpha Colony, the wild west themed Tumbleweed Gulch and a kid section called the Toon Zone. There were also three casino hotels attached to the hotel when the park first opened. The three hotels were called the Trump Royal Palace, The Trump Big Top and the Trump Dude Ranch. The initial attractions include the Terror at the Cinema motion simulator, Trumpville Park Carousel, the Donald J Trump Memorial Highway (similar to Disney Tomorrow Land Speedway), The Trumpville Playhouse, The human Cannonball coaster, the Side Show scrambler, a tilt whirl, the Flying Trapeze Swing ride, Trump American Museum (patterned after Barnum’s American Museum), The Tall Turret drop tower, The Warlock’s Dudgeon dark ride, the Black Knight coaster, The Crazy Rocket, Galactic Battle (it a shooting dark ride), the Shooting Star Theater, the Runaway Mine Train coaster, the Trump logging company log flume, the Bumper Wagons, the Bandstand (with an animatronic band), The Mighty Mouse coaster, Ren and Stimpy’s Crazy Adventure dark ride, Heckle and Jeckle’s Flight (helicopter ride) Deputy Dawg Patrol Cars (Jeep go round), Tom Terrific Tree House (mini drop tower,)and the Terrytoons Revue (animatronic show).

    Despite the initial great attendance, it started to drop after the John Kricfalusi scandal broke and Trump was forced to sell in 1997 to Luna Parks. Luna Parks spent over a year renovating the parks. When it reopened in '98, Trumpville USA was renamed Home Town USA, the Trump Big Top was renamed Circus Enormous, Worlds’ of Wonder, the other hotels had the word Trump dropped from their names, The Terrytoons were removed, and the Toon Zone was renamed the Playroom. New rides include Drifters (a balloon Ferris Wheel), the Funhouse Express, Canyon Blaster, Rodeo Runner, Space Station (an enterprise ride)the Happy Bikes, the Magic Dragon (aerial carousel), and the Home Town school bus. Renamed/Rethemed rides were Interstate 44 (formerly Donald J Trump Memorial Highway) the Community Theater (formerly the Trumpville Playhouse) the (Trump’s American Museum) Funtime Flyer (formerly the Mighty Mouse). The Toytown Train (replacement for Ren and Stimpy’s Crazy Adventure), the Teddy Bear Trio (a replacement for the Terrytoon Revue), Pogo(formerly Tom Terrific’s Treehouse) Jeeps (formerly Deputy Dawg Patrol Cars) and Toy Planes (formerly Heckle and Jekle’s Flight).

    With the 'Worlds of Wonder' association with Trump and John K over the next few years after the John K scandal, wonder how the Glasgow park coped with this compared to it's Las Vegas counterpart? Seeing as we had an update on the Las Vegas park, an update on the Glasgow one might be one to do with perhaps even looking at a UK wide perspective on the whole Trump/John K thing even if we had Panorama just then.

    I dunno how you guys feel about Peter Sissons, the longtime BBC newsreader, but ITTL, he was the one who broke the story of the Bronco chase for the BBC, pretty much staying on the air from about 7:05 pm thru midnight GMT. During those hours Sissons would relay details trickling in from BBC News' NY and DC bureaus, spoken over helicopter footage shot by the major US news outlets. The BBC's Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish units pre-empted their normal transmissions to simulcast Sissons' Bronco coverage.

    ITV also interrupted regular transmissions to cover the chase. Ditto Sky.

    For the trial, the BBC presented select highlights of all the different testimonies and the verdict. Meanwhile, Sky News covered everything gavel to gavel. Only snippets of Blair's testimony made it to American airwaves, but the BBC and Sky both aired her testimony in its entirety on later evening hours, with proper disclaimers beforehand.

    During the first few months of the scandal, there was talk in Parliament of cutting the BBC's funding to discourage lavatorial humor from being inserted on children's shows, but that genie escaped the bottle long before.

    The Glasgow Worlds of Wonder pretty much opened without incident.

    It's a matter of deciding which broadcasting company deserves a theme park more. Since BBC was there first, I think they should be the one to establish one. As for Peter Sissons, I've never heard of him until now.

    Doctor Who alone could be the basis for an entire theme park, frankly. Though I definitely agree that the BBC has enough material to create a theme park.

    @OldNavy1988
    1. When will the unnamed former Trump Texas park get rechirstened?
    2. When will Heritage Park in Nigeria be opened? Personally I'd think that it'd likely be somewhere on the coast.
    3. Any other major theme parks on the way that we can bounce ideas off each other about?

    Taylor Swift is releasing her self-titled major label debut later this year.

    Demi Lovato auditioned to play Blair in American Crime Story, but the part was given to Emily Osment.

    Selena Gomez will star in Wizards of Waverly Place for Hanna-Barbera starting next year.

    Ariana Grande sang the national anthem at a Miami Dolphins football game last year (2005).

    Heritage Park is already open.

    Only park in the works is the South Korean Disneyland in Busan.

    What about the Luna Park in Myrtle beach on the site of the OTL Hard Rock Park.

    Does anybody like the idea of Gemia comics reving the T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents. I feel that Gemina is the weakest of the 4 major comic company's. I feel that besides Captain Marvell and blue beetle the bigest names they have are Captin Atom the Question and Bulletman. Thus i feel that gemina could use some big names like the thunder agents
