Perhaps it could be a Singapore Park type of situation. Universal has no ownership stake in it, but makes money through licensing and certain management assistance.
Nope, this appears to be as direct of a takeover as you can get (though they don't seem to be the only investors).Perhaps it could be a Singapore Park type of situation. Universal has no ownership stake in it, but makes money through licensing and certain management assistance.
Must have different definitions of proof, because I have not seen any. Still just speculation and "could be", or "probably". Nothing actually definitive and irrefutable.We have the information, we have the proof...
Now I remember.Man this reminds me of a time recently when someone made a falsified photo of a wall being painted to have a Universal logo at Port Aventura.
Definitive and irrefutable? Are you expecting a picture of a signed contract or something like that? There is irrefutable and definitive proof of the Zelda land that is given as true? Any pictures or maps of the land?Must have different definitions of proof, because I have not seen any. Still just speculation and "could be", or "probably".

To be fair, the little Zelda proof we have seen has been blue sky concept art shared by artists on their personal online portfolios. So no, we don’t know for sure that it is happening. As we’ve seen in the past, until we see the land actually under construction at Islands of Adventure, Universal can still cancel any current plans or change their minds, if it’s even happening at all.There is irrefutable and definitive proof of the Zelda land that is given as true?

Quoting to agree.It’s not that I have my doubts, I have my sources.
I was not surprised by the Vegas and Texas announcements. But I would be by this, because as far as I’ve heard, Universal isn’t buying it.
Things could always change, especially as the park is shopping around for a buyer now, but Comcast hasn’t bought it yet, and I haven’t heard they will.
They may be the obvious front runner to buy it according to the press, but so was Merlin to purchase SeaWorld parks a few years ago, and that didn’t happen either. Just because the press, U.S. American or otherwise, says a company may be the clear choice to buy a park, doesn’t mean they will.
The press has also said Apple will buy Disney. Now they say Universal will buy Warner Bros. And so on. They say lots of things to get clicks. And sometimes they’re right, eventually. But not all times.
Of course, nothing is definitive and things can change. However EVERYTHING brought here with data has not been given the benefit of the doubt. We've had the CEO saying he wants the next IP to be Harry Potter, the park recently using IP references amidst all the rumors, the press naming Universal as a candidate... And nothing has made you to even consider looking into it because for you it's a clear no.To be fair, the little Zelda proof we have seen has been blue sky concept art shared by artists on their personal online portfolios.

I reported in 2017 that Super Nintendo World was coming to KidZone at Universal Studios Florida, because there were detailed permits filed, site plans submitted, and even work walls up around the area… and it still didn’t happen. Since then, I never say anything is DEFINITELY happening until I see it actually happen.
Because things can change.
I put a lot of time and effort into looking into it. I started working on a rumor article and video a year ago. I even mentioned it as a possibility in a couple videos I released last year around that time.And nothing has made you to even consider looking into it because for you it's a clear no.
With all due respect because I think you do a great job, haven't you considered that you may not have all the information?I put a lot of time and effort into looking into it.

After digging and digging I found no concrete proof. That’s what I’m saying here and now. Sure it can still happen, I’m saying that I see no evidence that it has.
Great. So I’ll celebrate the sale when and if it’s announced on Halloween. For the sake of this thread finally getting somewhere I’ll be happy if it happens that soon.With all due respect because I think you do a great job, haven't you considered that you may not have all the information?
The information that has been given here comes from sources that have been reporting all moves since January beforehand every movement of Port Aventura. New Carnival opening, early hours, digital queuing system, Uncharted pictures, Halloween plans, layoffs, new hires (we even gave you the name of the new CFO, Boulva), schedules, communications... and it has all happened.
In April a tiktok about the sale to Universal went viral in Spain giving the announcement date for Halloween, and here we are in October with news about the sale of the resort.
If the sale happens that you get to brag about it and people will view you as credible. I certainly think this would be a good move for universal. This park has a lot of good stuff to work with and ferrari land can be expanded into a more true second gate. I am not sure why people would think universal should start for scratch in Europe with a new resort, Given constructions costs it will be absolutely cheaper to buy this resort and expand.With all due respect because I think you do a great job, haven't you considered that you may not have all the information?

Winner gets Minion Tots19 days and we’ll know. 1 way or the other. Now we wait.
Pablo if you see anything out there between now and then, feel free to continue posting it so we can all examine it.
But just a reminder, just because it’s posted here, doesn’t make it a fact. We follow a “rumored” until its confirmed mentality here. People are allowed to believe what they want based on the evidence they have.
Alicia has some of the best evidence of anyone out there. Many people are gonna trust her because she’s established and has a huge amount of respect and trust.
Your team has thrown down the gauntlet of Oct 31st - both with mention of the tik tok and Mariah (which notoriously starts Nov 1st). So we will wait for that date and see who’s evidence is stronger.
Wow, things getting heated over here, I'm quoting myself just to keep track of what I said.The latest rumor in spanish forums is that Universal has hired several DLP employees to work at their future european resort, going as far as giving names, for example Frédéric Boulva would be the replacement for Giovanni Modena, current COO at PortAventura.
Not my information, just sharing what I've seen over there and leaving written proof in case they are right
