Volcano Bay

or a parking garage

Unless it is general parking and has a fee maybe but it is too valuable and too far for the parks to park there. They have plenty of parking

Comcast the parent company of Universal Orlando Resort, confirmed Feb. 3 it paid $130 million for 475 acres of land
another park?

The purchase of the land was confirmed, not the additional park.

is it the Lockheed martin site?

Parking for what? I-Drive attractions Universal doesn't own? This is prime real estate. They can't waste it. Especially when that section of I-Drive is in need of redevelopment, which Universal could easily spur by putting something worthy there.

is it the Lockheed martin site?

Part of it.

Did you guys see the fire that broke out today in the staging area for the slide pieces for Volcano Bay? Looks like a number of pieces got burned to a crisp.

I saw it today!!! looks like it might set universal back a bit depending on how many pieces were damaged

NOOOOOOOOOO

That's to change. In a big way.

USO has finally come of age.

This thread just got dragged out again and I'm wondering when this is supposed to change in a big way? A year later they still close at 7 or 8 most days.

How did that happen? Those were the pieces just laid out in a parking lot, right? I know they were for a water park but how flamable can they possible be?

I was wondering the same thing. Just plastic in a dirt and asphalt lot, right? What actually burned? It's makes me wonder if there was some kind of paint or varnish involved.

Thank goodness I haven't heard any reports of injury.

They are assembling the pieces at that site so it could have been something focusing the sun on dry grass, a cigarette tossed by a worker or maybe they were grinding or welding. Anyway glad they put it out fast

You seen the new Kong and Hulk lighting packages?

Though the IOA night show is being a real pain in the preverbial.

anyone else think this looks like steel? as in the volcano skin/rock work pieces they had lined up there?

Looks like slide pieces to me. I think it was the water coaster so they should be able to mold new pieces with not much delay.

If these things are that flammable how do they expect them to hold up when they are put right next to an active volcano.

In all seriousness, I wonder if something nearby caught fire and the heat melted these pieces.

 

[danlb_2000]

Actually, based on this picture it looks like the actual pieces were on fire.

This just in: the cause of the fire.

is there any more news about the fire?
