A pedestrian bridge across World Drive would have to be plenty big, but stranger things have happened. The region just north of canal L-402--at the northern extremity of the construction access road shown in the "DHS Permit" thread--would be the place to look for a connection between the...

According to the W192 Redevelopment Plan, it would be along 192 anywhere from the Polk County line to SR535 (Vineland Rd). However, it appears that the Flamingo Crossings plan has stolen some thunder from the W192 aims. Or maybe not--there's a Marriott Fairfield Inn under construction at the old...

Excellent, thank you for the heads-up...OP and post #104 changed!

Well said, and heartily seconded! It's great to have access to this fascinating info.

danlb_2000: Thank you for that updating info! I'll change the OP. Do you have a link or maybe a map in a post here? I don't recall seeing that in your "Permits" thread (which I enjoyed, by the way), and it would be good to get a sense of the pond's dimensions.

Fun Spot Orlando (near I-Drive) and Fun Spot Kissimmee (next to Old Town USA) have ticket reciprocity. Old Town USA is under separate ownership and has no reciprocity with Fun Spot's Kissimmee location next to it. Most of the Old Town USA rides were removed. You can see where Windstorm used to...

Fun Spot and Old Town, two different owners. You can walk around between the two because neither charges entry admission, but as Tom Morrow pointed out, there's no ride-ticket reciprocity. Currently, it looks like Old Town attractions are "cash only" anyway. Old Town went through bankruptcy a...

Following up: Osceola County's W192 Redevelopment Plan, dated April 3, 2014... http://www.osceola.org/agencies-departments/w192developmentauthority/redevelopment-plan-documents.stml Segment 1: Leisure (Osceola-Polk County Line to I-4) Segment 2: Destination (I-4 to SR535) Excerpt from Segment...

Many thanks for your input! Now incorporated with post #104.

This is the "ESPN North" parcel described in the OP: Potential Hotel/Resort per Figure 3-10 of RCID's Comprehensive Plan 2020.

GoofyDufy: Glad you enjoyed it! You wanted more, you got it, although I'd like to steer clear of the OKW/golf course question. See below for analysis of possible existing resort expansion, plus the theme parks given the level of interest here. As always, all corrections/updates welcome! NOTE: I...

For anyone who misses Old Town's Windstorm rollercoaster, here it is in its new home:

raymusiccity: Agreed, the zone between the Junction and the LBV STOLport appears to have been considered. Based on the Mixed Use and Hotel/Resort areas (brown and purple) shown in RCID's 2020 plan, it looks like the way is planned for Wilderness Junction (or whatever theme/name), with...

Nubs70: Thanks for explaining! Very interesting--would you agree that standing pat on new resort construction for now would facilitate a strategy of using resort capacity to increase overall revenue? Agreed, that would be a negative for offsite hotels, especially along 192. It seems like a...

I'm curious--what are PCGS and PRGS? A Google search for abbreviations keeps coming up "coins" and World Bank. Thanks!
