The Drayton Manor is park park not a park operating company. They were currently owned by the looping group. The Looping group was found in 2011 with purchase of several parks form Compagnie des Alpes. Compangie the alps was oringally an orperator of ski resort but they expanded in other form of leausire with the purchase of group gervin in 2002. They latter bought the walbi group from palamon capital in 2006. Palamon bought the walbia group form six flags in 2006 . Six Flags bought the Walbi back when it was indepnt in 1998. I have asked oldnavy various time about the fate of the walbi group but I never got an anwser. I have multiple ideas for people who could buy the walbi group. Would you to hear them drporter.
Option 1 Merlin Entertainment. Merlin Enetemtn was a just the operatior of a few aquariums and haunted house acrations befroe buing out thie Legoland land group They became a Gairt when they bought the tussauds group in 2007. IF they buyout the walibi group I would butterfly there purchase of tussauds groups
Option 2 Pragues Reundios. They started with one park in spain in 1967 and grew to 15 Spanish parks in 2003. They started going international in 2004 with pruchase of bonajanland. It could be they start inernational expaion early with the purchase of walbie
Option3 Village Road Shows themeparks. They are austrilia's largest themepark company. They started international expansion in 2008. It possalbe that expand early otll
Option 4 studio 101 . They are belguim media coperation who expanded into theme parks in 1999 by buying out mei park and renaming plopsa land after the star of one their kid shows plop. They bought the german hoilday park in 2010 and didn't do any major rethemeing. Since they theyre only new park have been small parks in the netherlands poland and the chezch republic that they built theam selves.
Option 5 Aspro park. A spanish company found as a water park operator in 1991. They expand into them parks in 2007
Option 6 Fitraco, A belguim ride manufacter who expemeted with owning park when they bought magic sprigns in arkasa in 1995. It took them 5 years to renovate the park . The park was intally below antende expaction. They manged to raise attende over the next few years but sold the park in 2005
Option 7 The Virgin Group. Now themepark expemnice but they are now for their love of entering new bussinesses. Olld navy had them buy out Walbi in american magic 1.0
Option 8 Six King. This option would be the close to what in real life.
which option do you like the best. Got any other idea for people to buy out walib
Neaver heard of Flamigo world but I have heard of a yorkshire themepark and zoo called Flamigo land. It was owned by soctia leaure untill be sold to former soctia lesuire excutive Robert Gibbs. Robert gibbs seam to have ambions of expanison because he bought out Pleasure Island park. Robert died in an car accident in 1995 focing his 18 son to give his collage education to run the family bussiness. It possible Robert car crash was butterflied and he could decided to buyout the walbi goup
The Cat in the Hat (2003 Film)
The Cat in the Hat
Released by Universal Pictures on November 21, 2003
Produced in association with
DreamWorks SKG
Amblin Entertainment
Directed by
Brad Silberling
Screenplay by
Alec Berg, Dave Mandel and Jeff Schaffer with rewrites by James Gunn
Cast
Same as OTL
Notes
- ITTL, some of the dirty jokes still survive in the film. I'd say about half from OTL.
- The film still ends with the Cat and the Things walking off into the sunset to the accompaniment of an instrumental version of Caviar's song Tangerine Speedo.
- According to his co-stars, Mike Myers, who still plays the Cat ITTL, was still a pain in the butt to work with on the set.
- Released on the same weekend as The Search for Mickey Mouse, the Cat did okay with kids who liked the edgy humor but swung and missed with adults.
Reactions
"Never did I expect to hear 'Dirty Hoe' in a Dr. Seuss movie."
- The New York Times
"I can't believe they actually used the Speedo song from the Charlie's Angels soundtrack at the very end."
- The Hartford Courant
"Bless James Gunn's heart, but his screenwriting talent wasn't enough to salvage this trainwreck."
- The Los Angeles Times
"Hiring Seinfeld writers to bring a Dr. Seuss book to the screen? What was Universal thinking?"
- The Miami Herald
"Alec Baldwin is too good of an actor to appear in such a desecration of Mr. Geisel's vision."
- The Arizona Republic
"Never would I expect Universal to produce a remake of Heaven's Gate. Except they just did under the title The Cat in the Hat."
- The Orlando Sentinel
So still panned by critics

Correct.
I wasn't sure how to salvage the story without all the edgy humor that seemed out of place with a Dr. Seuss story.
If the overall plot of this movie has stayed the same, I would have stuck with The Search for Mickey Mouse any day.
Furthermore, if the critics really are serious about comparing this to Heaven's Gate, which was a catalyst to MGM being a Turner company, I think it might be time to consider which assets of Universal can be sold off with the least backlash.
Yeah.....
I would have tried to see both.
Oh. Is that why MGM is a part o Turner ITTL?
Well. What assets do you actually think could be sold off? Maybe the USA Networks?
Only what ifs I can think of is Tim Allen not leaving. Eric Rory’s darker script and Rick Baker doing the effects Instead of dropping out.
In all honesty, I agree with you on this.
Not entirely the case, but pretty much.
I think the biggest examples would be Archie Comics and their stake in UPN. Long story there.
Then I don’t know what universal should sell off then maybe the darkman rights
Yeah.
Oh. What IS the real reason why it's now under Turner? And didn't he sell it back after a few months because of debt? How is he gonna manage to keep it long-term ITTL?
Ok.....
Who would buy them? I could see Saban do UPN, or Universal could sell 25% of their stake and still keep 25%
We'll to @OldNavy1988, I hope the year is about to conclude. But what is One Tree Hill doing TTL?
