Just my opinion. I understand that Nintendo has a fan base. So do Legos and they have a whole park in the Orlando area. I most likely won't be visiting it but I'm sure some like it.

And invariably you have to pick them up for somebody else who played with them.

What about an area where it's permanently the Quidditch World Cup? Since that can be anywhere in the world, it could fit with a lot of different things.

Saw a post from @Disneyhead on WDWMagic about there being actual "dirt movement" and now I'm trying to read and catch up.

Dirt moving has started for some roads that were already planned, and not sure if they started on the warehouses and backstage facilities.

I will say that the actual resort dirt movement will be obvious once we see dirt moving to the borders as I expect them to build a berm around the entire perimeter.

The entrance along Destination Parkway was fully paved and has a turn lane now, still with SLRC construuction entrances along Uni Blvd. Interesting that the construction entrance signs say SLRC. Things are happening quickly down there.

Probably a stupid question, but what's with the staggered land clearing? Why wouldn't they just start in a specific area and move their way forward?

They need to build roads or a pathway for the heavy equipment to get on site.

Well, they could still do that. They are doing that. But what's with all the random construction spots in the middle and outskirts?

Could be utility work with relocating existing things on property.

I think a lot of this was already there, maybe from failed developments before or land testing before the land was purchased.

Even if the final designs aren't complete for the new resort, I'm certain that the general layout is and we could see a general layout way before any announcement is made.

This reminds me that I need to put what I think the general layout will be for this expansion but I've been completely swamped with work.

Good.

The sooner they get started, the sooner they finish, the sooner I’m no longer bitter over Nintendo.

“Theme-park observers believe Universal will add either a Nintendo-themed park or one based on Dreamworks intellectual property – including movie themes from Shrek, Madagascar, How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda.”

No. Bad Orlando Weekly.

As I've mentioned before, lots of folks seem to think Nintendo is getting its own park. Not me. But the idea persists.

Not sure why.

(But I bet I haven't helped.)
