Yep, it's gonna be HUUUUUUGE!!!!! I'd been viewing UP for a few years now. Thought I'd finally get in on the discussion.

Nice!! I See what you did there with the FunSpot reference.

I think the most impressive thing they could add to Skyplex is an opening date.

That's what I keep thinking.....

Ah, but an opening date is merely a symbolic gesture.

I need to see dirt moving.

This garage was a big talking point when Skyplex was pending approval. While it is currently going to be used for Mangos (also owned by the Wallacks), I believe they are planning on making it large enough to accommodate the Skyplex traffic as well.

Speaking of Mango's Tropical Cafe on International Drive I had the opportunity of meeting Josh Wallack and he talked a lot about how Orlando Skyplex will change the area where the perkins currently is right now and that he also said during his speech that we should see things going vertical in six months time as just recently The Hollywood Entertainment Complex on International Drive next to Mango's just went vertical so things are picking up speed so it should'nt be too much longer until the dirt gets moved and Skyplex going vertical which by the way The Real Estate market home values are also going up which is very Excellent..homes are up in the 700.00's currently

Thanks - when I see it I will belive

I truly believe Wallack wants this to be amazingly successful... and get off the ground, but he seem to either be having trouble getting investors or knowing when to finalize his plan. If this thing does get built, I suspect it will be advertised as a vertical 'theme' or thrill park because it includes tons of rides.

Any thoughts on when this project could be breaking ground...realistically?

At the current pace, I'd expect between the spring 2018 and winter 2018.

This certainly doesn't look like the type of parking garage that's being built just for Mango's

That thing looks weird in a good way.
It definitely is a it fancier than your typical garage.

International drive is set for more garages so hopefully they set a standard.

I noticed the garage the other day. It's actually looks quite small. It's very tall but has a small footprint. I would expect something at least as large as the Orlando Eye garage if the Skyplex thing actually ever happens.

There is another garage for the hotel and the rest of Skyplex planned as a part of the complex.

 

[GAcoaster]

Yeah, it's really small, just tall. It's also catty cornered from the Skyplex plot. To go from that garage to Skyplex would involve crossing I-Drive and Sand Lake.

Looks like this guy is going to get the Atlantic City one off the ground before Orlando

[Nick]

It may not be Orlando, but if they actually start to build even somewhere else I'll feel more positive about this project happening.

 

[GAcoaster]

Interestingly the signs around the site here in Orlando were all covered over with signs for the Hulk Hogan shop.

 

[maxairmike]

Maybe concentrating energy and effort on the smaller one temporarily to get it off the ground to build enthusiasm and more investment for the much larger and more difficult Orlando site?

 

[s8film40]

I wonder if the other one actually happens if it might take away some of the appeal of the Orlando one. Part of the big message they've put out is that this is something new and never before done.

 

[Donald Razorduck]

Still could use "Never before seen by folks other than Guidos."

 

[WAJAS]

And anotha one! Construction is starting later this year per Wallack, but... ya know a large grain of salt must be taken with that

This time it's Sky Jump (the space is there for copyright reasons). You strap onto a zipline and 'free fall' to a platform below. There's one in Vegas I think under the same name (minus the space).
