If Uni buys that land, i'd think they would knock the DT down and start over.Would be an easily theme to resurface the Double Tree. just sayin'.

Either way, I don't think WNW is a viable option for Uni-style resorts.
Probably. That place is dated and need so be gutted to stay competitive. There is a Residence Inn getting built behind the Double Tree Towers too.If Uni buys that land, i'd think they would knock the DT down and start over.
I have to imagine they bought it for a reason so what do you think it is a viable option for?
Just a gut feeling by me. For all I know it could be a resort. I just don't see one there.
What do you see?
I agree with you as far as surrounding areas. If UNI ops not to buy the surrounding areas, could the be the WNW location be the relocating of offices and or other equipment storage to make more room in current theme parks instead of building a third gate? Hire more Uni Creative to get things kicked off for every ounce of space in Orlando and Hollywood as well as any other new UNI resort coming to other parts of the world?I don't know. With the recent expansions they've lost nearly all their construction staging areas. I'm sure there's offices that could be put there. Maybe TM parking with shuttles to take TMs back and forth.
The area just doesn't seem right for a resort. The surroundings are ugly. You don't want people showing up for a vacation there, IMO. It sets a bad first example.
Sounds fun and but, theoretically, what happens when its park close and you have a 1,000 rooms worth of people waiting for a ride back to the resort? That would be a lot of limos![]()

I don't know that you waste I-Drive fronting real estate on office space or parking. Even with the slightly run-down surroundings--easily fixed, btw, just go south 10 blocks to see an example of how--it's still I-freakin'-Drive. A tourist mecca with tons of daily passers-by.
Even though they've allowed Wet n Wild to go to ****, never lose sight of the fact that water park lasted almost 40 years. And it still draws a crowd on hot days. There is plenty of money to be made from that location. Move the offices up Turkey Lake or to Metro West.
While that sounds great, I HIGHLY doubt Comcast would think it worth it to continue to staff and operate an ENTIRE PARK - just for a few hotels, basically to use as their pool.They could keep the water park add 2 large hotels and make the park exclusive to the hotels. That would be a pretty spectacular hotel pool.
I am hoping they keep Wet N Wild.They could keep the water park add 2 large hotels and make the park exclusive to the hotels. That would be a pretty spectacular hotel pool.
I am hoping they keep Wet N Wild.
If not Wet N Wild, that lake. There is a reason many people have built a hotel around that lake.
That lake is going to play a major major role if Wet N Wild does in fact leave. I still take my bet on the two Mega Resorts.
I think that is a great option to get folks from the parking garages to the new water park.You are right although Bur el Arab has indeed many many limo's for their guests but it would be a problem so why not use a cableway to connect it to Saphire Bay and from there they could take a boat.
