just catching up on things....
Ok, I get the whole.. "oo.. third park.." thing, but...
What do we really expect Universal to build to justify so much land? And how does it work with the other existing complex?
Shuttle buses? Some sort of monorail or gondola?
The logistics of it all just seem wacky to me.
But isn't the sky the limit? Strange, I see the logistics easier. Staying at a park some 13 miles away....man, it takes forever to get around. Folks dog the strollers, but adults hate al the walking between 'rides'.
Land to build a city, to isolate from the real world. There seem to be so many transportation options coming on line, they have land near a convention center in a tourist driven state. What couldn't they do better than what the original resort does??
This raises the question if they will build 2 parking structures again or if they go for one giant one. I can't see them building two theme parks but I could see a water park and something similar to Disney Springs.
I assume Disney Springs is the old Village um DownTown..um Pleasure...um something? I went there once after the 1st parking garage was built. Good stuff, I think of a casino down here, what Vegas must be like these days...park all the cars on the outside...from golf carts to driver-less.... the large continuous land has many possibilities
A campground would be utterly absurd.
It could work if they played up just how absurd it was. Super fake looking trees, etc...
Like camping in an IKEA.
Why not a glampground....camping with all the luxuries of a five star resort...
I'm actually surprised that's what they didn't do with the area around the lake for the unnamed coastal resorts... and then added lake sports.
yep, I was going to say that word I overheard when the TV had the travel channel or something on...Glamping could be tried I imagine....
I may be mistaken, but I doubt they can build nearly anything on the land to the far East of the property. Shingle creek is headwaters for the Everglades and I'd imagine that would be near impossible to get permission to build on.
Yeah, that 31 acres that I put for Hotels is wetlands just to the west of Shingle Creek; I'd imagine that wouldn't be built for a while..., those wetlands are zoned though as part of Rosen Shingle Creek, so it's hard to know. I believe those acres can be built on at some point though...
That all depends on what it is you are building. If you follow shingle Creek South you will see that buildings sometimes come as close as 500 feet of the creek. Retention ponds even closer.
Keep hearing talk about wetlands and such....many things down here like lakes and canals are for water retention, run off, protecting the aqua filter.
Setting a theme to natural FL, angle things to avoid flooding in the tropical rains, could help them free up land to use elsewhere, move water/land around....if you can dream it, someone can figure out a way someday ;-)
