Theory: this thing is going to get half-built and then the company will run out of money in the recession. The half-constructed, ugly monstrosity will be left standing until someone decides to buy it and either finish it or demolish it.

I really hope I'm wrong.

Eww just no. Ever since Mangos opened crime on that block has spiked. Not interested in seeing more of the same infest I-Drive. Unicorp does a much better job with master planning.

Now if they would turn THAT into a coaster, we'd have something. :thumbsup:

So it will resemble the ferris wheel that was barely started in Vegas across from Luxor.

Yuck.

New trademark:
Trademark Status & Document Retrieval

It amuses me that the latest news about this still lists it as opening in 2020.

Also, after the recent history of Intamin in Orlando with breakdowns and delays, would you really want to risk getting stuck on this coaster?

I've always been someone to be on the side of this is gonna happen one way or another simply because this is just sort of like a vanity project for Joshua Wallack.

At this point though, just let me know when the Perkins closes and then i'll start to really take it seriously.

This is the Trademark for the drop tower. Still relevant of course.

If by trying to stop the project, not quite. As Joe put it...

Uni had no intention of stopping this, they were stepping in to make sure everything was hunky dory when it came to zoning/height limits, so they knew what they could do for Epic Universe.

I still don't know if I believe that. Universal were the leaders of the few who opposed the project, specifically aligning themselves with the residents of the nearby Orange Tree neighborhood. The meeting where they spoke out against it was full of other companies, businesses and local residents in support of it getting built, so it seemed like it was going to be approved no matter what. Maybe I'm missing something, but how was Universal's opposition to something that seemed to be a shoe-in beneficial to them? Why couldn't they have just let it happen on its own? What if their opposition had caused the project to be cancelled or drastically scaled back?

The developer of Skyplex apparently bought up more land on I-Drive. I don't know the details because the story is behind a paywall on OBJ:
