Would it be possible for Metromedia, Bally, NAMCO, Six Kings, or even Warner Bros. or Turner to build Worlds of Wonder in Las Vegas.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
1: Does Disney own 25% of the TMNT property or 75% of it?
2: I'd have Italy be the place for EuroDisney. After all, Pinocchio is lauded as one of Disney's best films of all time, and that feature isn't afraid to wear that country on its sleeve.
3: What I'm gathering from Universal is that they're compensating for their lack of in-house properties to turn into theme park profits by partnering up with just about everyone else in the business. So, like the Universal parks of IOTL?
4: Is it mean of me to say that the phrase "Have a Bally good time!", pronounced like "jolly", would be a perfect slogan for the theme parks?
5: I'd have Six Kings partner with Warner Bros., Jay Ward Productions, and maybe Bagdasarian Productions for good measure, while Funtime signs deals with Dr. Seuss, Berenstain Bears, and Rainbow Brite, in addition to NAMCO being in cahoots with Turner Broadcasting and Columbia Pictures. Also, Herschend can have Gumby and Peanuts, while Bally would be best with King Features. The other theme park connoisseurs can stay as they are for now.
 
Earlier you said that Funtime bought both of the great america' and great advuenture.

Six flags didn't expand to Europe until 1998 so there should be no six flag Belgium However Six Kings would have inherited Canada's wonderland and Australia wonder land form KECO.

Earlier list said that Six flags bought Astorworld.

The knots family didn't sell their park until 1997

The terio group didn't rename it self Primer parks untill 1994. Also Primer did buy their second park wild world untill 1992

I would have namco buy the great escape

Disney owns 75%. Mirage maintains creative approval.
