Bass Pro Shop and Cinemark are to remain. The sale is held up by a lawsuit with the tenants, whoever the buyer is has refused to close until all the lawsuits on the land are settled. The south parcel supposedly had a contingency on the Artegon parcel, the buyer isn't interested in the south...

I believe construction just started on the SLR intersection (or will within the next month or or so) and I-Drive is supposed to get the special use bus & right turn lanes from SLR to the convention center where its already 6 laned next year, similar to I-Drive north of Wet n Wild.

Probably less then 2 miles, especially when they compete Destination Parkway. Universal is also in a lawsuit with the owner of hundreds of acres contiguous to the piece they bought and the expected outcome is that Universal buys their land in a settlement (possibly as early as next week). If...

2-3 miles down Universal Blvd

Globalvia, A spanish company that operates other systems like it in Europe. They would have been paying for both operational and construction costs, and taking all of the ticket revenue to pay for it. There page is in spanish, but here's the Bloomberg page on the company...

1. The proposal was for it to be completely privately funded. 2. Nobody has proposed Disney/Universal pay for any of the proposals... they know thats a no go. 3. That was the death of that proposal. The airport wanted any rental car revenues lost by the system to be paid for by the train...

The new airport terminal is supposed to have a slot for 2 local rail systems... One was proposed to be a maglev route to Florida Mall, and then to the convention center/I-Drive, and a potential phase 2 to Lake Nona and Disney... the city approved the proposal but the airport rejected it due to...

To be fair, the Vegas "family friendly" entertainment came with replacing or toning down the previously successful adult oriented entertainment. They didn't just add the family friendly entertainment on top of it, or create a seperate section for it, they replaced what was previously...

When I drove by it a few weeks ago I don't remember seeing anything still there, all looked like dirt

Have they actually started building that expansion? I was there a little over a year ago, and at the Tampa one probably 9 months ago, so I'm basing it on that (and my previous visits are a few years prior, not single visits to either one) And just because I believe they currently aren't good...

The Seminole casinos suck compared to basically every other casino I've been to. They satisfy some of the desire for people who already like the gamble, but I doubt many people from out of state are going to their properties. Competition is necessary, in close proximity, to really have great...

I definetely agree with that Hasn't Universal built their Singapore theme park in an area with hotels including gambling? I've never been, but my understanding is multiple onsite hotels have casinos in Singapore. I know we're discussing a different country which makes it different, but I can't...

Um, isn't Orlando usually either top of the list or at least top 3 for conventions in the US? I know Vegas is usually in the top 3 as well, but Orlando does quite well with conventions. I think Orlando would do well to extend people's vacations even more with the addition of casinos and other...

Supposedly its about a year from breaking ground still. Its had a few delays, but the developer has been building things, and has an order he says he's doing it. He's been building the Hollywood Plaza garage which should be finished in 3 or 4 months that Hulk's shop is supposed to move into...

They could build another park. That parcel they own on the corner of Universal and I-Drive seems like it'd be perfect for a water park!

The park won't be complete, they're adding another 5 acres to it, more rides, etc... that probably will take them to next spring at least to complete. I wouldn't expect any slides to be over an hour wait time by then though as it is off season.

Pretty much every person who has been in trouble for abusing 911 has explicitly been told to stop calling about these types of incidents first. People call (and are encouraged to call) for much less... They tell people to call 911 and not the utility if they smell gas, people are encouraged to...

I mean, if we're comparing SeaWorld to Six Flags, SeaWorld Orlando is the top park in the US that isn't owned by Disney/Universal... the top Six Flags park, even with Seaworld's drop in visitors has over a million more people a year visiting it. Along with Busch Gardens. Seaworld has very real...

Also my understanding is new pools, during their curing process, cause pH to dramatically change, on top of the normal load and sometimes the chemical feeds are not designed to handle the load of a freshly plastered pool, especially on top of a large amount of people in the pool. On top of the...

That is the rumor... the Artegon and the empty parcel to the south of it are supposedly being looked at by a major theme park operator who is not currently in Orlando and possibly looking to make it WWE themed... Artegon kicking out all of its tenants a few months ago with little notice was...
