Yeah, I wouldn't like a Sugar Rush overlay unless it addressed my personal biggest issue with the Speedway: it is physically nauseating. Just a gross attraction. The experience of walking near it reminds me of rush hour traffic with the overpowering smell of gasoline and exhaust and car noises -...

I could see them doing it if not for the Liberty Belle needing to go through there. Unfortunately... As it is, the sidewalks really do solve the access issue while posing no real logistical challenges and doable on a budget consisting of shoelaces and pocket lint. The only issue there is that...

According to the ADA, the maximum allowable grade is 12 feet of run for every foot of rise on a ramp and a landing is necessary every 3 feet of rise; so we're looking at a minimum of 17 landings and 600 linear feet of ramp not counting those landings... or a pair of elevators. (EDIT: and this...

Yeah, and a fixed span with around 16 feet of clearance at high tide would allow the WL/FW ferries through no problem (and obviously everything smaller like the Boston Whalers and Sea Raycers could get through as well) - and 16 feet is a perfectly reasonable height to build a bridge at with no...

Didn't know that! Well, you learn something new every day. That does pretty solidly kill the bridge option unfortunately, and the tunnel is definitely not passing cost/benefit. I still hold out hope for the sidewalks as previously mentioned and I think it's a shame that Disney is hesitant to add...

Tampa is absolutely a great NHL franchise, but almost all the problems with an NBA experience are going to be there for an NHL experience plus hockey is a less popular sport and far less accessible to newcomers outside of Canada and Canada-adjacent locations. And I'm not just saying that as...

No clue what the necessary clearance is to keep that canal fully navigable but unless it's something truly absurd ("we need to be able to sail the Liberty Belle through here" levels of absurd) I can't imagine the tunnel ending up cheaper than a bridge or two, and a bridge with scenic views would...

Yeah, that's the logical explanation for why it hasn't been done, although I don't consider it to be a reasonable hesitancy - even if my usual followup to this line of thinking (which is that not having the facilities in place creates a bigger hazard for those who won't be deterred from walking)...

World Drive sidewalks and/or a footpath from the Contemporary to points south, please. It's honestly stunning to me that the Grand Floridian / Magic Kingdom pathway got built before any kind of walking solution between the Wilderness Lodge and anywhere else did. It doesn't get much cheaper than...
