DUBAI, UAE

​A Dubai government-backed holding company made a formal bid on Sunday to buy out the city's struggling theme park operator, the company said in documents filed with the Dubai Financial Market, capping years of plummeting income and stocks.
Meraas Holding, the majority shareholder of DXB Entertainments, made a cash offer to acquire the debt-burdened company, which owns Dubai Parks & Resorts, offering to convert some $1.15 million in debt into equity and buy out other shareholders at $0.02 for each share, below the $0.03 closing price on Sunday.

World’s Largest LEGO Wooden-Style Roller Coaster Made With 90,000 Toy Bricks

LEGO artist Tomáš Kašpařík (aka Chairudo) is a self-confessed “child that never grew up.” Like many kids (and adults), he has a love for LEGO, but he’s been lucky enough to turn his passion into a career. For years, he’s been creating extraordinary sculptures from the plastic pieces, and his latest creation is no exception. He constructed the world’s largest wooden-style coaster from LEGO, and it actually works!Chairudo’s LEGO roller coaster is based on a real-life ride called El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. El Toro is not for the faint-hearted—it features a terrifying drop of 176 feet (53 meters) at a 76-degree angle, the steepest drop of any wooden roller coaster in America. Chairudo recreated the winding structure in miniature, and it’s just as impressive as its real counterpart.

​The operator of the Watsontown Trucking Company and Patton Warehousing and Logistics groups is sponsoring a free admission night for families who want to visit Knoebels Joy Through the Grove tonight. The event, sponsored by the Patton family, will take place from 5:30 to 9 p.m. tonight. 
Steve Patton, president of Patton Logistics Group, said the idea started when considering options for an event to thank employees. The company typically hosts a picnic at Knoebels but had to cancel it this year.
“From there, the idea grew,” said Patton. “There are a lot of people struggling right now who could really use an experience like Joy Through the Grove but might not have the means.”

​Tell us how you really feel, Universal.
An Imagineer for Disney World recently showed off images of a new floating platform that will be part of one of the theme park’s new night shows. Based on a recent tweet from a nearby theme park, it appears that not everyone is impressed.
Universal Studios in Orlando tweeted out an image of the waterfront in the CityWalk area of the theme park with a large, floating movie screen awkwardly superimposed over the water. The tweet’s caption says, “We've tried it. 2/10 for CityWalk aesthetics.”
Based on the response to the tweet, many users took this message as a comment about the new barges set to appear in Disney World. Many users simply commented about the amount of “shade” they perceived the message to have.
