Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

IIRC, the drone-over-private-property law hinges on a reasonable expectation of privacy. Someone in their backyard with a privacy fence around it has that; not sure a 400 acre development that has helicopters flying all around it and sits relatively close to an MCO flight path does.

Not saying it’s right or that I would do it, just saying it’s probably legal.

The pictures of the waste treatment tanks behind the coaster is perfect!

I love Brayden's videos, WDW or USO. His drone footage is great. And I agree with the previous poster on his narration, and him and Alicia being the best in the biz.

Those are aerators or clarifiers. It’ll be probably 30’ deep there (or more) and it’s where they’ll add certain chemical adjustments or aerate prior to dumping it where you boat and fish.

Good news is those rarely smell and, if all is well with the plant, will just look like water in there. It’s when things don’t go well- which happens sometimes plenty even at the best plants.

DK coaster seems to be the most innovative of all the ones being built at Epic

Will be a great spot to chill too with all the water features

WESH did a little story on construction on tonight's news including a flyover in their chopper. It's not posted on their website yet, but should be available later.

I wonder what the safety hazard laws are for it. I agree not on privacy but low flying aerial vehicles.

I'm guessing that technically the law is "if the FAA says it's cool then it's cool" but drone laws in general are a bit of the wild west... my old neighborhood HOA banned them other than aerial photography for posting on Zillow etc. but it required advance permission and someone from the HOA to supervise.

Yeah, one is definitely goldenrod while the other is definitely mustard.

That settles it, Green it is!

Bio got a better picture of the sample wall panel for the hotels along Kirkman. And unlike the dueling coaster, you can never be wrong when deciding what color you are seeing.
