Not to get off topic, but I'm guessing that temporary stage in the foreground is setup for the Tonight Show or the Cabana Bay grand opening or something?.
It's for the private media party on Thurs night.

Close enough to CBBR to be able to take your newly purchased rubber rings :rofl:
Am I correct in thinking that the parking garages can be extended upwards? this may be needed for water park.
Only one of the parking garages can hold another level, if I recall correctly
I had never heard that specific.
Either that or they expand the river and boats to be able to drop people off at Wondersea...or both..I just feel Wondersea is going to be a pain to try and get too. Maybe I should wait till it is announced to start worrying though hahaDon't you guys think that the plot of land earmarked for Hotel 5 could hold a hotel with its own parking area, a separate parking structure for the water park, and still have space for retention ponds? Plus, if they built a bridge at one end, they could build another one on this end and connect the water park to a parking garage across the street on the south section of the Hotel 5 plot. I think it could be done, if they wanted it to be so...

Could happen, you never know...It depends on the direction Universal wants to go in the future in terms of transportation...they may be planning a monorail system that hits everything..so their may be a plan for itI say yes. But why not build a Universal garage? One for 5th Hotel, Water park, and convention center if need be?
The "parking garage can hold another level" is an urban legend that is propagated on this message board. Universal would not build two massive garages in 1998 and leave an option to add ONE level on ONE garage. That's a negligible amount of extra capacity, and the expense of adding a level in the future would be 20 times the cost of building it during the initial construction. Please put this one to rest
Also, regarding "master plans". It's important to remember that there is no secret master plan with details of expansion over the next 10 years. In this industry, things move swiftly and are only planned a couple years out, max. When MIB was constructed, Universal went from "no idea on paper" to an open ride in just 28 months. So although sometimes you will see "master plan" maps for expansion, they are just created so the city has some sort of expectation of future land use, and to keep investors excited, etc. But ultimately, everything changes up until the very last second and they are constantly updated. Crazy, but true!
My guess is Wet N Wild stays. Uni Transforms it into an innovative Water Park, they'll have Two Water Park, 2 theme parks, 5 hotels. Actually they could build another Island themed resort next too wet N wild or across the street in the parking lot. They have enough money to transform the area.Wait so if the water park does go in the plot behind CB then what happens to Wet n Wild....I doubt Uni will do anything with it soon but what could they actually fit there? Looking at it now, there doesn't seem to be much space for a 3rd gate (unless they fill in that massive lake). I could see CityWalk 2 being put there but it would seem odd and out of place to me if it's not going to connect to anything.
Also....where are we speculating a 3rd gate would go if/when its greenlit?
