Dry 'n Tame Hotel Speculation (Project 566)

[JoeCamel]

I think you're missing the point

You stated your case, and I then provided a counter case.

I am pretty sure it is wishful thinking on your part that Universal has not done their homework and determined what would be approved. This is far enough along that plans are made and they know as I do the number of jobs created, tax dollars generated and general improvements to the IDrive/Universal blvd look that there is no chance that it will not be approved as presented.

I'd agree to be honest. What I want to occur and what will occur are two different scenarios. I wasn't being completely serious in going to a Council meeting. Those guys are always going to side with one of the biggest employers in the area.

Maybe it's just the picture, but that seems like a small pool for 4k rooms. The All Star hotels have several large pools to handle their rooms.

Guess they have to go to the big one across the road

 

[Kungaloosh1937]

Yep, god forbid they class up the beautiful and inviting I-Drive area.

Where did that artwork theoretically come from?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Where did that artwork theoretically come from?

Universal's proposals to the city.

Looks like two medium size pools on the former parking lot area hotels and the one gigantic pool on hotel on the Wet & Wild site.

I don't think these are exact schematics or renderings of actual plans. I think these are concepts to get pre-approval.

That's a surfboard?

I immediately wondered why they were building a vagina pool.

 

[UNIrd]

I just hope they really play up the theme, whether it's surf or not.

We were beating around the bush and trying not to say it. You just said it. We all thought it.

So what's the opening timeframe for Universal's Georgia O'Keefe Resort and Ladyspa?

 

[Mr. EPCOT]

I just hope they really play up the theme, whether it's surf or not.

Even if the theme is vagina?

 

[Scott W.]

So what's the opening timeframe for Universal's Georgia O'Keefe Resort and Ladyspa?

This is the real question here.

Would 2019 be too ambitious?

I can see this hotel being opened in two phases.

I can see this hotel being opened in two phases.

So.. You're saying it would have two openings?

 

[Scott W.]

So.. You're saying it would have two openings?

I'm not saying it will but it's a strong possibility. The hotel has two very distinct sections and the quicker Universal can open a section, the quicker it can see a ROI.

This is the real question here.

I can see this hotel being opened in two phases.

I could actually see that for the Spider Hotel, and the Surf Board Pool Hotel for 2020.

In a way, the hotel timeline is this if that's what happens;

2016: Sapphire
2017: Cabana Bay Towers
2018: Adventura
2019: Spider
2020: Surf-Board Pool
