Fire at Universal Studios. Destroyed the clock tower from Back to the Future, New York and England streets, and King Kong. Also a vault with 40-50,000 videos

I hate thinking that it's the studio's way of getting insurance money to build new things in their place. It was sad, reading about that.
Do they mean the RIDE King Kong? I think that's what made me think of a purposely set fire. They took out KK here to put in The Mummy (which pissed me off SO badly).
And, um, your dream could be, like, Supernatural: The Chick Version. ;)
They said that a fire in 1990 destroyed the exact same area as well, there has got to be something with the electrical systems there or something.
What was sad as well, the vault that holds over 40,000 movies and tv shows and such was destroyed, but they said they have copies of everything in another location, so it's okay, but still, back up or not, it's sad.
Ooh, I saw a headline about that fire, and I was afraid it was the Universal that you and I are going to in December! It's still terrible and sad, but you'll still get to see the clock tower and New York and England streets all intact.
I know all that stuff is at the other Universal but somehow to me it feels fake, because it's not really where things were filmed, it just looks like it. Is that silly? Of course the CA New York street burned down once before, so it wasn't the real stuff anymore either.

I figured it was arson, honestly. I think the older fire was.
Supernatural: the Chick Version. That would be amusing!
