Back To The Future
2008-06-02 14:05:00 Time Warner and GE goin' to The Chapel of Love? Yeah, yeah, yea-yeah-yeah. Newsweek: A goal for GE would be to avoid the huge tax bill it would incur in selling NBC Universal outright to Time Warner in a transaction valued in the tens of billions of dollars, say the sources familiar with the situation. One model for such a transaction might be the deal GE struck in 2003 to bulk up NBC by combining it with Universal, then owned by Vivendi. That combination left the French company with a hefty, though minority, 20 percent stake in NBC Universal. Under a similar scenario, Time Warner and GE could combine most, if not all, of their entertainment operations into a newly formed separate company, in which Time Warner would be the majority owner. The bet is investors would better recognize the value of a pure entertainment entity with big media brands, propelling the stocks of parent companies Time Warner and GE. And if that happens, the two Jeffs might just live out their corporate car...

Universal Studios Front Of Line Pass
2008-06-02 09:07:00 I've raved about many places to visit, and things to do on my blog. It's hard not to. In my opinion Southern California is the greatest place on earth. What I'm going to tell you about takes the cake. I discovered one of most fabulous experiences that Southern California has to offer. A theme park visit without long lines or a wait. Our family had the opportunity to visit Universal Studios Hollywood and we tried out the Front of the Line Passes. What is a Front of The Line Pass you might ask? In my opinion it has to be the most fantastic thing offered by a theme park EVER!! Basically here's how it works. You don't wait in line. You just get on the ride or get the best seat in the house to all of Universal Studios' attractions and shows. I know it sounds too good to be true but it's not. I almost couldn't believe it myself until I experienced it for myself. We didn't have to wait in line for any ride, yes even the new Simpsons ride. It was amazing. While everyone else waited...

2008-01-28 09:01:00 Lucky for us we were spared by the rain gods on January 26th when we visited Univeral Studios Hollywood. Though it was a Saturday, the crowds were light, probably because most people expected rain. Also, late January is a great time to visit most amusement parks because it is off-season.While my husband and I have visited Universal Studios many times in the past, this was the first time for us to venture there with our little ones. When we arrived, one of the first things we found is that Univeral offers an all-you-can-eat pass for $19.99. For children under 48 inches, it is only $9.99. The All You Can Eat Pass is good for 1 entrée, 1 side and 1 dessert every time you go through a food service line at Mel's Diner, Louie's Pizza and Pasta, or the Jurassic Café. You can go through the line as many times as you want. It does NOT include beverages. No sharing, take-out or refunds. You can save even more by buying the pass online. I would definitely recommend this deal if you ...

Universal Studios Hollywood
2007-08-13 06:02:00 We went to Universal Studios Hollywood last weekend. The last time that we had been there was eight years ago, before we moved to Southern California. Here's what's going on at Universal Studios this summer: E.T. was replaced by The Mummy ("scary" rollercoaster that goes forward and backwards in the dark) a few seasons ago. The ride still seemed popular with nearly hour-long waits throughout the day. Speaking of the recently departed, Beetlejuice no longer has his "graveyard revue" show, but can still be seen roaming the Park for photo ops. I believe that the former Beetlejuice show venue has been transformed into Fear Factor Live.The Wild West Stunt Show is closed. It doesn't look like they're working on its replacement yet. Jurassic Park is still a popular ride with lines in excess of an hour, especially after lunch. It's being marketed as "wetter than ever." Watch for camouflaged employees armed with squirt bottles near the queues and the exit.Back to the Future is the same....
