Well this isn't greatest of news...

"Universal sold off their 37% ownership stakes in the theme park resort to La Caixa, a Spanish Bank partner in the park, for $30 million. This move brings up the ownership of La Caixa to 80%, with the remaining shares going to Anheuser-Busch (13.6%) and Abertis (6.3%). Through a licensing agreement the park will keep the Universal name and merchandise."
This next statement is in the Universal Studios Japan section of Screamscape.com
"With the sale of the Universal park in Spain by the new owners (GE / NBC) there is speculation that a similar deal to sell of their ownership of the Japanese theme park could be announced in the next few weeks. From there, one has to wonder if the American parks may be next."
I hope things don't get worse...
