I was referring to building permits.The first permits we will see for W&W will be for demolition.

You can't see building permits until the land is clearedI was referring to building permits.
The construction work on Volcano Bay and the towers is supposed to be finished by March. It will be interesting to see if Universal get started quickly on demolition and clearing of Wet'n Wild. If so, then the crews from VB not working on the 6th hotel could head over and start on the the former WnW site.
Good idea, but Volcano Bay is a pretty good billboard for Volcano Bay.I suspect that the whole parimeter will become a giant billboard for Volcano Bay.

A volcano popping up in Orlando? It is obviously a sign of the apocalypse .Very true. You simply just can't buy publicity like that.
The volcano is on a such a grand scale though, I think people who don't know it's a water park won't have a clue what to make of it.

I'm curious to see how desperate they are to use the land.
Even if they don't start demolition instantly, I suspect that the whole parimeter will become a giant billboard for Volcano Bay.
I'd say demo should start right away. Every day that whatever hotels they build there aren't done is just money lost to other hotels. It's direct loss of income, unlike rides. If those are put off, it's not necessarily lost income.
Even if they don't plan on building immediately, I'd really expect demo to start as soon as possible. The crews that do that wouldn't be the ones that would be tied up building the other projects. There's money to be made on scrapping support structures and anything they are going to sell off. And getting it cleared out now also allows them to start building whenever they are ready to build.

Love that they are advertising Volcano Bay in the park! Brilliant.This is posted inside the park, right next to the tribute to George Millay:
If they want to start this fast we may be seeing whatever it is open by next winter or summer 2018. I didn't expect that quick do a turnaround.
