When we talked on Saddle Ranch here on the forums, the discussion of a possible hotel came up. And to be honest, I have to really wonder if the reason to why Fum Lung hasn't seemed to happen, stems to a possible larger issue on the area around itself? Because in theory, the hotel would be on an inclined base that is located in LA, home to a lot of earthquakes.
Not saying it can't happen there, but perhaps its structural concern to why they have halted?
As for the Park Gate hotel that was talked in the plans, I honestly see that to be the most likely hotel to happen first, as it would pave the way to change traffic-flow around that area inhabiting the security check's and could possibly help widen the amount of guests that can walk around there.
Coupled with some convention space incorporated in the hotel, a new structure for hotel guests and preferred parking, and possibly some additional things, it may be a great choice for Universal in the long run.
I don't know a ton about USH. But, how easy would it be for Comcast to simply buy a hotel nearby to the resort and bring that hotel up to their standards?
I find that a question too, because of the Hilton and Shearton right next to the park.
If they can somehow find a way to purchase them, it gives them not just hotels, but possibly land for something more proper to what we see from Orlando, or Singapore.
