I hope we still get UHF 2 like we did in american magic two. It could work if we replace the donald trump parody with a parody or rupert mudoch , Havery Winestine o Jordan Belfort. Do andybody like the idea of rupert murdoch being desotyed by sandel in the early to mid 90's but miraxmax surrives and is bought out by jordan belfort. Miramax goes through a brief renisces only to be destoyed by soul plane and a late breaking of the staron oakmont scandel

Did the Challenger disaster still happen ITTL?
If not, did the movie keep the scene in the radio station where Ferris gets interviewed and says he wants/is going to be the first high school student in space that had to get cut at the last second?

After a few years of negotiations and planning, Disney finally opened Riverfront Square on June 10, 1966. Walt Disney, Jr. had just completed his sophomore year at USC in time to join his father and Uncle Roy for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Also there were Anheuser-Busch CEO Gussie Busch, Missouri governor Warren Hearnes and St. Louis mayor Alfonso Cervantes.

Dedication Plaque:

RIVERFRONT SQUARE
Dedicated June 10, 1966

FOUNDING PARTNERS

Attractions

There wasn't really an icon for Riverfront Square except for a marquee outside the park. The park was designed to be indoors so that the park stayed open on rainy days.

The street level of Riverfront Square is divided into two halves. In Old St. Louis, a Mark Twain Riverboat serves as an all-ages restaurant while the Budweiser Lounge offers a place for the adults to kick back and relax. The main attraction of Old St. Louis is the Lewis and Clark Adventure, which takes guests on a canoe ride through a mythological version of the treacherous expedition.

Over in New Orleans Square, you might see the Jambalaya Jazz Band serenade guests. The main attractions of this realm are the Blue Bayou Restaurant and the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

The midlevel section of the park, located one floor below the street level, consists of two Circarama Theatres, two dark rides and an audio-animatronic theatre.

Dark rides
The Haunted Mansion
Adventure Thru Innerspace (Sponsored by Monsanto)

Audio Animatronic Theatre
Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln

Circarama Theatres
America The Beautiful
Davy Crockett's Greatest Adventures


The basement level serves as the "show buildings" for Pirates of the Caribbean and the Lewis and Clark Adventure.

TRIVIA

It occurs to me that Walt Disney's Riverfront Square has butterflied away the St. Louis Arch.
 
Entertainment News for June 1986
This just in...
After years of legal wrangling, King Features Syndicate and Universal Pictures reach a compromise to bring Popeye the Sailor to home video, starting in Spring 1988. The original Popeye theatrical shorts were produced starting in 1933 by Fleischer Studios, later known as Fleischer-Terry during World War II before becoming Famous Studios in 1953. Universal City Studios acquired the rights after the studio merged with Famous and was sold to MCA in 1962. Walter Lantz, the outgoing head of Famous, was seen signing the agreement at a ceremony at the San Francisco headquarters of Hearst, King Features' parent company.

This makes sense. Heck, given the Famous Studios catalog ITTL, we could very well see an earlier Toon Lagoon at Universal Studios Orlando.

With what, might I ask?

Now this is news.

Hallelujah!

Looks like I'll have to ask again. What does Carolco own besides FHE? And what benefits could be made through owning that particular company?

Okay. This is something I didn't expect. On the plus side, Tom and Jerry and The Pink Panther might have a third star getting a revival at Turner, maybe even with the humor of Fox's Little Audrey shorts. On the minus side...
Wait. Considering Muppet Babies, they don't even need that show in their collection anymore! Well, scrap the main downside with this revelation.
