REUTERS/Toru Hanai/file photo Acquire Licensing RightsWILMINGTON, Del., Sept 7 (Reuters) - A Delaware judge ruled on Thursday that an affiliate of Japan's Universal Entertainment Corp (6425.T) does not have to complete a SPAC merger deal with 26 Capital Acquisition Corp that related to the largest casino in the Philippines. Vice Chancellor Travis Laster said the Universal Entertainment affiliate did not have to complete the 2021 merger agreement in part because 26 Capital Acquisition "engaged in conduct that should not be rewarded" by ordering the deal to close. Laster said 26 Capital could still seek damages, which he would address at a later date.

What it’s like to be a theme park designer

“Back then, it definitely wasn’t cool to be into theme parks, but I was obsessed,” Jeffs, 39, tells CNN. Jeffs points to the immersive “Pacific Rim: Shatterdome Strike” ride at Trans Studio Cibubur, part of Indonesia’s largest theme park chain, as an example. “When I was growing up, theme park design was often dismissed as a rinky-dink, second-class artistic discipline simply because it was rarely well done. “That first summer, we drove 10,000 miles and hit up virtually any theme park that had managed to re-open,” he says.
