When this is finished does universal axe partner hotels? Or do you think universal will always keep them because of the layout of I Drive and the fact that universal is all in one spot.

Question how many rooms do the all star resorts in compass together I am curious I cannot access a computer as quickly as I want to for the next eight hours so I figured I'd ask and check back in a few minutes OU is pretty good for quick facts LOL
If somehow Universal can manage to fit 4000 rooms on that property that is wet and wild now that would be absolutely insane in a good way though I would love to see that that would kick-start probably some great Redevelopment and new development in that area

This is my half assed idea for a hotel. Pier 12 gets it's name because it's a boardwalk with a pier and set in 1912, same year that Universal Studios was founded.
I'd have shops and restaurants across the boardwalk with a huge tower curving around the lake. Half the rooms would have a balcony facing onto the water where movies would be shown nightly on a huge screen and people can have the audio streamed directly to their rooms. I'd also have older timely cars on the beach where people can order food or a drink and watch the movies from there.
A ferris wheel would on the pier with maybe some older type rides.
I've got my dates mixed up but I had planned to have a bar set in prohibition times with nightly raids by the police as the bar converts itself into something different just in time. Something similar to this:
The rest is your basic hotel with a small shopping district to entice people off I Drive.

5,444.
Movies and Sports have 1920 each. Music at 1604.
easier to buy up a path for some light rail? or gondola or whateverOk couple of thoughts...
4k rooms will basically be like a mega casino resort from Vegas. MGM Grand comes to mind.
If indeed family focused this will be a huge competitor for Disney and it's family focused market share. Well until the Star Wars hotel opens lol.
Now go out on a limb with me on this last thought. If indeed a 4k room resort, and with it being "offsite" I'd imagine it'd be the most affordable of any theme park anchored resort in Orlando. Disney and Universal feed off each other and will be fine financially. But what about all the hotels towards the northern side of I4 that cater to tourists? 4k rooms from a trusted brand in terms of competition is a force to reckon with. I could see some hotels offering to sell that may of not been willing to sell. Or it'll drive down prices thus taking more lodging business away from the Disney / 192 corridor. Could get interesting, just sayin.

Very true, but once the hotel is built and sucking them dry as @Andy pointed out, their price will drop and their inclination to sell will rise.
No but seriously. Universal have kind of shot themselves in the foot here as any land at the side of Universal Blvd (that they would need to cross the I4 for any raised transport) has probably shot up in value since this hotel has came to light.

It's going to kill the International Dr. hotel competition., no doubt. The room prices will be value due to the location.Ok couple of thoughts...

I think they need to offer this as less (value) so sub $100 should be the pricepoint for staying "offsite".^ Yeah, they are going to have to offer some very special perks to make it all worthwhile. Perhaps nix the early potter breakfast from RP and offer it to these new pricier rooms. Thoughts?
