Not sure if this is for Hulk..but its interesting; nethertheless.

Is Gate 10 Hulk?

Is Gate 10 Hulk?

Yes, it is the drive-on gate closest to Hulk.

I can't imagine where those big poles would be going.

 

[Quetzal]

My gut instinct would be to say they're for VB but if they're pulling into IOA then I guess not. Intriguing.

Those poles are the exact poles on the Volcano Bay site. As to why they are in IOA I have no clue. You can see them at 2:37.

If so then probably because they are running out of space resort-wide. They do need work space at VB and it appears quite crowded right now.

So much going on at Universal at one time. Even running out of places to put the multitude of building materials coming in. Wow.

 

[GadgetGuru]

I wonder how this will affect them long-term. It's gonna be hard for them to keep up on multiple construction projects long-term without staging space. I'm imagining that they'll move some backspace land off-site in the near future to free up some staging land.

As they continue to expand I'm sure they will. For now I can only imagine that they have a few off-site storage facilities. You'd be amazed to see how much they could fit into a soundstage as well.

 

[Mad Dog]

With the new hotels & VB they've just about used up all their free space. Gadget Guru & USO 92 makes some good points.

Well Sapphire and VB used to be huge staging areas, so with both now gone, the only staging areas of any real size are the one by MIB and the WnW parking lot (for now).

Possibly just pulling the trucks in there to park until the crane at VB is free to unload them.

 

[Blaw923]

Does Volcano Bay open before Avatar haha

 

[Mad Dog]

My guess is that they'll try to open up VB in time for spring break 2017. I'd think Avatar won't make it until after VB is open, either summer or fall of 2017. There's a lot to do over there in Pandora.

I'll be genuinely amazed if VB is open this time next year.

Prepare to be amazed.

Yea, look at all the work that Sapphire Falls still looks like it needs. That'll be open and ready in 3 months.

This was Kong 11 months ago.

I'm not doubting it will be open but there's a lot to be done.

One of the main differences with Waterparks is that the rides themselves are much easier to install, so a lot of time is saved there.
