New Water Park coming to Universal Orlando?

Ah... I did not know that Wallace Road had been extended yet. There is your backstage kiddo's! Thanks DH.

I feel comfortable in telling you all now, that the engineering plans will really twist your girdle. Universal at its best use of space. Amazing stuff.

I'm really chomping at the bit for the first stuff to be put up on the water management site. It's usually vague, but at least it gives us the first concrete idea of where we're headed

Fairly certain those numbers include parking lots, so I still think it's likely this will have independent parking of some sort.

:look: :-X

 

[Mad Dog]

My guess would be the parking will be for shuttle buses only.

Would put it on a par with Typhoon (56), Aquatica (59), much bigger than Wet n Wild (30). Fairly certain those numbers include parking lots, so I still think it's likely this will have independent parking of some sort.

Wet 'n Wild is only 30? Does that include the parking?
In any case, if the acreage of the other parks indeed includes parking, then it looks like wondersea will indeed be massive.

As for parking, could they actually not expand parking at the nearby hotels and have those used for the waterpark?

All the acreage numbers posted for the other parks include their parking lots...so if this new Waterpark doesn't have a parking lot it will indeed be on scale with the other bigger waterparks.

I wish we could find out a bit more about the new park. I'd love to see concept artwork for this thing. How much longer do you think until it's announced? I'm guessing next year at the resorts 25th anniversary would be perfect to showcase Kong, the new hotel, and the Waterpark.

This dual montage is of Blizzard Beach and WonderSea at 200' zoom. Food for thought.

thanks teebs! plenty of room for awesomeness

Are they still using the WonderSea name? I think I had read they abandoned the rights to that name recently.

As far as I understand It's going to be a quirky variation on that name. Teebin?

That was a misnomer posted by another site. Parkscope posted within hours that for some bizarre legal? reason, the trademark for WonderSea was reapplied for back in August of this year. They let the old request slide and expire.

The story for the island has a different spelling with the same sound... think tribal. We visitors to the mysterious island will know it as WonderSea until we enter the park... (i guess???).

 

[Mad Dog]

Thanks for the clarification, Teebin. You the man!

Your guess is as good as mine as to why the first trademark was abandoned. Only thing I can figure is that it was applied for with no use for so long that a new one was required.

Awesome info teebin, I'm glad they are going for a more tribal setting, would make for some awesome designs. Here's to some cool walk around characters

 

[Shucker]

Thanks for the map teebin. That really shows they have the space they need for this thing. It also looks like there wont be too many barriers to take construction photos, so it should be fun watching this take shape.

 

[Disneyhead]

They have now moved the construction trailers to the south end of the plot.

 

[anihilnation]

Teebs, so is the full name WonderSea Ysland?

 

[Teebin]

That's interesting. How close are they to the retention ponds?

Teebs, so is the full name WonderSea Ysland?

With the letter "Y"? I don't know as I have only seen the spelling of the first two words.

Also keep in mind that I am not sure that these words will actually show up in the park. It is possible that the "story" was written for designers only. Too, I used the word tribal really loosely as I believe it was described as a lost or undiscovered tribe... I think... yeeesh, my poor memory.

Do we think Wallace Road will be the drop-off point for busses transporting guests from the main parking structures?
