Excuse me. I have a soundstage to infiltrate

A lot of stuff like the arrangement and dimensions of theme park(s) and hotels could could carry over. That's very logical to imagine because many of the parcels have estimated numbers of potential hotel rooms and such. Of course, those estimates change when you design an actual hotel to fit the land (as we saw with WnW having its estimated 4000 hotel rooms reduced to 2800).Universal owned this land before, and I'm sure there was a plan to develop it.
I'm wondering how far those plans where ready and if anything from that design will make it over to the current development. If the past is any indication an idea never gets lost and finds it way into new rides.
So one would assume there are models of Mario and SLOP and possibly concepts for park central icons. Anything else anyone can think of?
If onlyThe Nile Egyptian Resort Model too
Pretty sure they have the layout of the resort locked down. So I would imagine they will start with that (rerouting/creating waterways, installing infrastructure, building road beds, etc.) ASAP.I know that.
A lot still is going to go into this. You don't rush an entirely new theme park resort is my point. I also don't see real construction beginning until next year and theme parks always take at least three years to build.
So like I said, is 2022 possible? Yes. But I wouldn't get my hopes up. I'm expecting this no sooner than 2023 so if we do happen to get it earlier, it'll be a nice treat.
Again, I haven't denied that they know exactly what the resort will look like. My point is that it doesn't happen overnight. This is going to take quite a bit of time, even with them knowing everything right now.Pretty sure they have the layout of the resort locked down.

The thing that makes this feasible to me is that it could also serve the convention center. Of course a rail line serving the bulk of the tourists in that area would reduce the traffic on 528 and in turn reduce the profitability of those new expensive toll lanes. Also Disney and other businesses wouldn't probably like it. So there's probably a lot of politics to overcome.Direct rail from MCO would be amazing (if far fetched).

They need to run an Attractions Express (elevated train) down the 528/I-4 from MCO to Disney with stops at the AMTRAK/Sunrail crossover, OCCC (OCCC, Universal, SeaWorld, I-Drive) and Disney.The thing that makes this feasible to me is that it could also serve the convention center.

I can hear the screams coming from the Mears corporate offices now....They need to run an Attractions Express (elevated train) down the 528/I-4 from MCO to Disney with stops at the AMTRAK/Sunrail crossover, OCCC (OCCC, Universal, SeaWorld, I-Drive) and Disney.
And connect the north end of the 429 to I-4.
I would guess that Comcast has had UC working on plans for what, about five years now?
They knew they would find the land. Rides and areas could be used regardless of what skins/dressings/IPs they have. So they could be just changed if they didn't get an IP.
I imagine they have been working with the city somewhat with this, at least enough to know how tough/long any approvals would take.
I imagine access (turnpike/highway exit) and transport between parks would need to be planned early on.
I have no guess on how quick they could start nor any idea of when we could expect softs...but I imagine these boards will be more lively for years to come.
