That was quick and quite a big jump. That's what? About 40ft?

Hold on to your hats. This is gonna go up fast. Looks like they bought a "Hotel" in a box kit.

The CBBR towers also went up really fast, but we were distracted by the big Volcano going up next to them.

Early Spring 2018?

I'm still completely bewildered by everything about this hotel. The location, the look, the name, the theme (?). I just don't get it. Any of it.

Fundamentally, it's a cheap hotel on site. Anything else is a bonus.

How long did it take for the CBBR towers to be topped off? About 8 months?

Yeah.... I guess I just need to accept that. LOL.

That one shot gives you a basic idea what the volcano view will be. Definitely impeded by CB, but you will be able to see some of it from the roof at least.

For the average guest staying on I Drive, it's a much more inviting place to stay.

With a Starbucks and easy access to VB and the rest of the parks, it's a huge bonus. Plus that roof top bar.

Roof bar for nightly volcano shows

My feeling is that this is a more mature alternative to CBBR for DINK (double income no kids).

e.g. People like me and my husband.

Still looking at a Summer opening at this point.

The Cabana bay towers went up real quick and Aventura will only be a few floors taller. So I wouldn't be surprised for a spring opening.

We're DINK's too!

This is called tilt-up construction, my friend owns a construction company and they love doing this. Cheaper and MUCH quicker than pouring concrete on site. Just asked him what's the tallest you can build using tilt-up and he said 6-8 stories meaning this will probably be used for the non-tower parts of the hotel. He sent me a link to a bid they lost because they weren't comfortable going this high:
World’s Tallest Tilt-Up Panel Erected Near Miami, Florida : TILT-UP TODAY – A publication of the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA)

The thing that perplexes me about this is we're cutting it real close with VB and the towers. I feel like the resources would have been better used over there for a month. But I guess Universal is confident they'll get those other two projects done.

If they didn't think they could finish it- they wouldn't start. Landscapers, Decorators, Ride ops, etc are a completely different crew than people pouring footers and erecting the structure of a building. Same goes with Demo. They could start demoing whatever they want at this time too and it wouldn't affect any project currently going on. VB/CBBR, F&F, and Adventura are all on completely different phases with completely different crews.

 

[JungleSkip]

I'm all for this hotel. Anything that can get me onto property for HHN at a reasonable price is a welcome addition for me.

 

[Jon84]

If they price it right, they'll tempt people out of the Rosens and Similar level hotels.

This hotel is perfect for what Universal wants.

-More guests inside the "bubble"
-Attracts value
-rooftop bar will be a hit

a biggie to me is this provides more variety as well
i think it looks fine
