1) Did the Los Angeles affiliate, of UPN, receive the Del St. Pierre story from TMZ, or Gawker?
Answer: They received it from Gawker.
2) Which rides or attractions will be part of Geauga Lake’s relaunch, as Universal Studios Ohio?
Answer:
Before they were able to build new rides, Peacock had to lobby Columbus legislators to consolidate Geauga Lake and the former Sea World Ohio into one park and to redraw the state's map so that the area surrounding Universal Studios Ohio could become its own Census Designated Place (CDP) which will be named Geauga Lake to honor the original park.
To account for the cold Ohio winters, most of the E-ticket attractions will be indoor. Initially, there will be clones of attractions from other Universal parks, but there will still be a few exclusives.
For instance, Cleveland Browns Fantasy Camp would serve as a venue for flag football tournaments, but generally a condensed, year-round version of the NFL Experience which is normally held in the lead-up to the Super Bowl.

With New Line Cinema now joining Peacock's parks, you'll finally see Freddy Krueger participate in the Halloween Horror Nights.
A new
Terminator attraction will replace T2-3D, which New Line had previously built at Paramount's Pinnacle park in Carson, CA. The new
Terminator attraction will likely have its storyline taking place in a canon separate from the film timeline, with Gus St. Pierre replacing Edward Furlong as John Connor as he did in
Terminator 4: Salvation. Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor), Robert Patrick (T-1000), Kristanna Loken (T-X) and Imelda Staunton (T-KRN) will each reprise their respective roles from the films. Additionally, it was leaked that Sylvester Stallone will appear as the T-800-B after having been featured in a fake
Terminator poster in Arnie's 1993 film
Last Action Hero.
3) How did the Tony Todd version of The Twilight Zone fare, and which episodes did it contain?
Answer: The Tony Todd version was ultimately regarded as a cash grab with very few memorable episodes.
4) Will Bally finalize its Worlds of Wonder remodeling plans before its deal with Saban expires?
Answer: Saban was already phasing its attractions out of Bally's parks ahead of the licensing agreement with Peacock taking effect.
5) Were any changes made to Speed Racer, or Sex and the City, as Warner Bros., and Bally, IPs?
Answer: Nothing changes too dramatically for either franchise.
6) What changes could Disney make to Glee’s characters and storylines before the show debuts?
Answer: Tiffany's involvement as an executive producer should guarantee that the LGBT characters like Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Santana (Naya Rivera) can be written much more respectfully. Also, there may also be a character who might be navigating incontinence issues similar to how Tiffany grew up having to accept wearing diapers permanently.
7) In which ways are the major franchises from each studio represented at their respective parks?
Answer: At the Disney parks for instance, 20th Century-Fox is represented most notably by Star Tours, the Springfield land at Epic Kingdom in Anaheim, the
Urusei Yatsura attraction at the Japanese pavilion at Epcot, an Alien Encounter based on
The X-Files, the Pico Boulevard section at Disney-Fox Studios in Orlando, the Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye, and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin at Mickey's Toontown, also in Anaheim at Disneyland Park.
8) Are Circus World’s rides, and attractions, about to be updated with TBS Paramount branding?
Answer: That is correct. A Top Gun flight simulator, plus a James Bond attraction to be named later are among the E-tickets that'll headline the re-themed park. There will also be a Land of Oz.
9) Is The Newgrounds Show Disney-Fox’s first attempt at sketch comedy, since In Living Color?
Answer: Yes indeed.
10) Does the TBS Paramount merger help or hinder the production of The Chronicles of Narnia?
Answer: It helps a little bit, but Paramount will still have to deal with the CS Lewis estate to be able to keep the film franchise going.
