CityWalk Waterfront Redesign

[Teebin]

The thing I have wondered about from the start is how much competition this might be for the nightclubs and margaritaville bar thingy. How does Uni build this and keep everyone happy?

Maybe they'll move to this area the bar "stand" that's on the CW upper level, by the escalators? And maybe build it to be permanent?

Work has started on the next section per @OrlandoInformer

Indeed, in what is the last section of CityWalk's greenspace before the bridge leading to IOA.

A part of me is all, "WOOO, new additions to City Walk!" and the other part is all, "God, I freaking hate City Walk."

Maybe this will make you like City Walk.

Maybe. The minigolf looks fun, too.

Orlando Informer posted these great photos of both constructions areas.

Additionally, AmusementPics snapped some more pics from other vantage points, such as looking towards the pathway/bridge leading to IOA and also a quick look of the newly walled off area from the Margaritaville side.

It's going to be so nice when it's done. As seen in the concept art and in reality (2 new palms in the first area), trees will be integrated with the decks. All we're losing is the scorched grass.

Also, probably only Teebin and I will find this interesting, but the permit for this project with SFWMD was filed under Universal City Partners L P instead of Universal City Partners LTD. That difference allowed it to evade my searches.

OTPN has new pics showing the steel work that went up today.

Mercy, I only search 'Universal City Development' and leave the Partners off... are there docs that leave 'Development' off too?

LP is Limited Partnership and LTD is Limited. Does LP suggest that this Citywalk thingy is being developed with yet another partner, such as Loews or Margaritaville or some other hospitality company?

Man, looking at the scale now. It's a lot larger of a project than I thought it was.

May just start typing in Universal City. SFWD is by far the easiest to use. Orlando's is the worst.

Orlando Rocks has a new construction update from across the CityWalk lagoon.

These decks will be solid as a rock. These aren't your daddy's wooden decks.

 

[Disneyhead]

I believe they are planning on the decks holding quite a few people. During special events like New Years Eve and the 4th of July, I wouldn't be surprised if they were to run a fireworks show over the CityWalk lagoon.

From today,

I wonder what that 2 x 12 is for? It's not for a form because I don't think they're pouring concrete, and it's not treated, so it isn't permanent.

So I'm wondering... where we see the horizontal steel beams, is that roughly the height we can expect for the decks? I don't know why, but I was expecting them to be elevated more.

Florida Thrills has an update of the progress of the CityWalk decks. It appears that the initial stages of wood decking may be going in:
