Another week, another weekly stock report.
Disney rose 1.52% to $31.23.
Cedar Fair fell 3.54% to $11.31.
Blackstone fell 3.06% to $13.73.
The Dow(n?) Jones fell about 1% to 10,402 points.
Cedar Fair has dropped below the potential sale level, which may be good news for Kinzel and co. Disney has continued to rise, and Blackstone remains a wavy line. You can see the graph for this stock report right here.

Another week, another stock report!
Disney went up from $29.63 to $30.07.
Cedar Fair dropped from $11.94 to $11.44.
Blackstone went up from $12.70 to $12.82.
The Dow Jones increased from 10,053 to 10,099.14 points.
So the stock market is finally taking an up swing. The down tick in Cedar Fair’s prices is likely due to the uncertainty concerning the Apollo Management buy out, which you can read about in this post: http://www.coasterdom.com/2010/02/11/cedar-fair-sale-not-so-fast-cowpoke/.

Movieline.com has reported that Disney is workshopping a new attraction themed to J.J Abrams’ “LOST” television show. The show’s last season premiers on the 2nd of February. The attraction is said to be utilizing the Kuka arm technology used in the “Knight’s Tournament” attraction at Legoland and the “Sum of All Thrills” which just opened at Epcot.  Not only that as I’m sure  some of you are aware, this technology is being used on the Harry Potter roller coaster coming to Universal Studios in Florida within a year.

Roy Edward Disney died today at the age of 79 of stomach cancer. He was a creative powerhouse for the Disney company, bringing back the creativity that exemplified the life of his uncle, Walt Disney.

Reuters has reported that Shanghai is interested in building another Disney theme park in China. This surprises me a little seeing as the Hong Kong park has not been a stunning success by any means.

Preliminary plans were submitted to Beijing for approval and are expected to be approved.
I will keep an eye on this story and post a follow up story when more information is given.

Disney has released what is one of, if not the most impressive website they have ever unveiled. Alright, so perhaps that isn’t saying a whole lot, given their previous track record of slow loading and cumbersome websites, something I have maligned rather consistently given my fairly frequent use of Disneyland’s website. However, I am quite happy to announce that they have created a website that is very interactive, quick and very theatrical. But don’t take my word for it, check out your favorite Haunted attractions spotlighted here: http://www.disney.com/HauntedHolidays

Disney bought Marvel on Monday morning which may have some large implications towards the future of both companies in not only the film industry, but perhaps the amusement park industry as well. As I am sure you are aware, Universal currently controls the license for the Marvel characters but with this purchase perhaps that could change soon. Will we see a Spiderman ride at Disneyland or a Iron Man and Buzz Lightyear buddy film soon?
