What is the map at the bottom and why does it say "theme park"
My thinking as well. Makes sense sense there is already a used to be W Hotel lot on Universal Blvd. Easy Access, and gateway to convention center area resorts.Well...that is certainly interesting. The transportation connection totally throws my preconceived notions about the project out of whack, as it looks like some of those side plots may actually be used for resorts. Did not expect that
So hyped I'm shivering with antici...

Oh no, that post reminds me of a recently banned rude hostile poster's avatar. I had to turn my head away. :shock:....(And I "used" to love that movie)
That suprised me too, in a strange way.
It makes me interested of what may be the connection to the large plot, either via trams or by a monorail...

Yes, you make some strong points. A large drop in hotel occupancy would hurt bad. Those are pure profit centers. And DVC looked good for them in the early stages, but the profit is basically front loaded, so they'll be a drag on profits down the road. There are so many fundamental problems in their future. Yes, the theme parks are a worry but they are the least of their worries. It's all the other stuff, loss of hotel occupancy & huge infrastructure costs, which will cause them the most issues. When you get as big as they are with their 26 square miles, the potential to fail always looms large. You can only tighten costs so much, so the revenue flow needs to remain quite high.
I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the future they decide to consolidate some hotels. They could also perhaps convert some moderates to value to help capture a bigger portion of the off property market.
I'm not sure if that number is accurate but I wouldn't be surprised with all the land they've sold off.
Which movie is this from?Oh no, that post reminds me of a recently banned rude hostile poster's avatar. I had to turn my head away. :shock:....(And I "used" to love that movie)

I'm betting that this is their "best-case" plan. They're expecting push-back from the county and are trying to get them to settle on a plan that they've been expecting for a while. That's why this information is different from what the insiders expect.
Oh yeah. I agree. Heck they told some councilmen before they went public with the first sale. Communication creates smoother negotiations, less hard feelings.I don't know. I imagine they have talked to people before submitting plans. I can't imagine the first communication with the county is these plans.

Now obviously if someone outside of the county officials opposes this and raises issues that could delay Universal plans then I could see if changing. But if no outside party steps in, I see this getting voted on and passing as is.
