Universal Orlando Resort Expansion (Part 1)

[Scott W.]

This would require removing Pat O'Briens for this idea, so for that I apologise. The only reason I went for that is because the back of it is open which I never knew. We're talking about a 200m diameter loop now which seems more realistic.

This would also have the benefit of having it's own security instead of going through the nightmare at the hub to please @JungleSkip and everybody who would ever use it.

It doesn't take you into the heart of CityWalk but it's certainly more local for the people in the parks and hotels to please @epcyclopedia

You can't move Pat Os

I love that place and Brecken who works the bar is hot

I'm willing to bet that whatever happens next at CW will include a major rejiggering of that upstairs portion.

Switches. Look at the video I posted of the Vegas monorail. The train goes in one side and out the other. That system operates as a loop but without the actual loop.

So it goes in one side and back out the same side, not out the other. That's certainly an option but I think this could be a really strange situation where there is enough room for a loop but not enough for a switch.

I'm sure there is something up the back that nobody will miss or better yet if they can build under the upstairs section. You enter from ground level and don't have to go up those horrible stairs. The tunnel could also be the queue.

There's a huge amount of space for a switch there. If configured correctly they could even load/unload two trains at a time making it more efficient than a loop. Check out the aerial view of the north station on the Las Vegas line. It would be a perfect fit here.

As interesting as it is vague. Hmmm.

Being serious, I am also thinking that Transportation will get retooled but I think it may be even sooner than some may think.

Especially considering VB, we need to take into the factors that they are going to start the change for the first floor of the south garage (the ones in the direction towards Sapphire/Royal), it will start the shift to change the flow of the south garage currently at Citywalk to accommodate more changes to the main transportation hub (for now).

Sounds like there are some big possibilities here.

 

[graspthesun]

Considering the need for transportation would primarily be for resort guests, you could just expand the bus system from the transportation hub and give CBBR their own dedicated bus route.

I'm curious now. What exactly is below the second floor of CityWalk?

 

[s8film40]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have found our first third gate construction photographer :thumbsup:

Really though that is one fantastic deal.

Haha, coincidentally I'm about to head out today to go and see it for the first time since I got the pass.

I checked out the view of the site, it's pretty good.

Which side? I believe the whopper bar etc is above the cinema. The restaurants and clubs on the other side... no idea.

I'm referring to the other side. I know there are some offices there, but those could be moved for a station complex.

Like a Director on a movie, I'm blocking this up, and imagining the future park. Nice pic.

Once again, I said this once and i'll say it again. A lot of people didn't fully grasp the size of it until they we're shown pictures of the size of it..which when you think about it, makes you very much excited for the wonders they can do with Gate 3.

Still too small in my opinion. But again they can always build upwards talks to the polercoaster being approved essentially killed most if not all height limits so that's a plus
