NDAs distributed in this manner does something different compared to a simple reliance on the Sunshine Law/Harry Potter law. By forcing individuals to sign individual NDAs, Universal can now those individuals legally responsible for anything that slips through them. Before, Universal could only file a complaint to the state.
I'm positive a lot of the recently leaked plans came from the county--not Universal. These NDAs do away with the bureaucratic protection that existed before.

Sorry, do you mind cutting the government lingo for us morons? Thanks in advance.
Are you referring to NDA? It means Non Disclosure Agreement meaning the signer can not disclose/reveal the information that they learn from secretive company documents.

I know what an NDA is. I was more talking about the Sunshine Law, Bureaucratic Problems thing. My apologies, i'm acting unusually sassy today so... Yeah.

The "Sunshine Law" is a Florida law that allows the public to access any permits filed for development. It led to the reveal of nearly every aspect of Hogsmeade before it was even announced. Since, theme parks were give a bit of an exemption in the name of competitive secrecy, affectionately referred to as the "Harry Potter Law" or "Harry Potter Exemption."
"Bureaucratic protection" isn't a legal term. It's a reference to how policies can innoculate government workers from consequences for their mistakes/choices.

Question: Did the construction of the first/second gate have a "we're starting work" landmark like our favorite, lonely palm tree on the FW lot?
Still a HUGE earthworks project going on to create retention ponds and build up low spots. Looks like they've started prep on the Kirkman Road extension on the Universal Blvd. end as well now.
Pretty sure it’s just an antenna for radio signals or something. But, it is something lol.
Epic....the first attraction....An Epic Universal Maypole 
....hits all the bases....interactive and immersive

At least they try to get some shade there with the planting and vertical structures.
Dear Santa,
I know it's late, I know it's Christmas. I know I already made my list (which probably got torn in half, judging by how I didn't get a Switch this year - again) and I know you're probably on vacation by now, but please hear my last request.
Can we please get the rest of the permits and go vertical on Epic Universe in 2020?
Love, the greatest adult who still believes in you, Jackson
