Yup. Hagrid was built where a coaster already was. This one is going on new ground, and if what I’ve heard is true, some parts of that part of the park are, um, squishy.
Florida in general is squishy.

I feel like the lagoon is concrete...but I could be wrongGood god, between this and what you said before about Toon Lagoon, it seems like all of IOA is sitting on nothing more than a big pile of mud. Don't wanna know how "squishy" the bottom of the lagoon is.
Exactly. Florida is squishy. Certain areas weren’t made to hold 100+ tall track pieces, so it’s not unusual to take a little while to prepare for that.Good god, between this and what you said before about Toon Lagoon, it seems like all of IOA is sitting on nothing more than a big pile of mud.

If it was a coaster replacing another coaster I don’t think it would’ve needed as much prep.
De-squishified is now the new official term.Yeah, cause the preparation is already in place. Universal was just building on the foundation that was left from before.
Obviously the track layout between DD and Hagrid's is different but they definitely have track pieces that are grounded in similar areas. Areas that have, for lack of a better word, already been "de-squishified".

I believe there was some leak where one of the contractors said he wasn't beginning his next Universal project on December of this year. Since we're less than a month away from that I am betting we see some very soon, if not by the end of the year.So I guess the de-squishification has completed and we are seeing first signs of vertical construction?
The site line with Kong and Aventura in it is super funny to me and I'm not sure why
Between the Epic Universe announcement, SNW in Osaka, the new park in Beijing, SLOP opening in Hollywood soon, Bourne, they have their hands full with announcements. Maybe we get one towards the end of the year but if not then id assume early 2020 we get an announcement with some concept art. Even if its brief concept art like people on a rollercoaster lolIt just blows my mind that Universal hasn't announced anything despite the obvious construction zones.
