    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    Depending on what news article you read, you get a different location of where the station will actually be built. As you probably know ive been covering this Brightline stuff for a while now, and even im a littled miffed. Even the map stuff put out by the County is contradictory. But it appears...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    I think I have spoken about this already The actual driving distance is 4 miles There's 15 bus stops at the Epic Drop off point. Even if only around half /two thirds of those are for transport between North and South campus, 6, 8, 10 buses an hour?? We might expect a bus leaving every...

    Disney plans hiring freeze, some jobs cut......

    But that's not going to happen. And even if Chapek were to go, it would not be because of the decisions made by D'Amaro in the completely different division of the company to the one in which Wall Street are concerned about. Whether anyone on here likes anything done by D'Amaro the past few...

    Disney plans hiring freeze, some jobs cut......

    because its marketing and content job cuts, the concerns from wall street relate to DMED, they want a path to profitability with streamers. they have grown tired of the Netflix model of throwing money at content in the hope it lands subscribers and yet still increasing churn. It's a curious...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    USB and Shanghai used 100,000 workers each, so 9,000-10,000 per day is normal and to be expected. it was reported in the sentinel. Consider the fact the active work site is going to end up around 600 acres by next year...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    Much has been spoken about the hub remaining open beyond actual park close. But on the basis of the fact the hotel will only hold ~2000guests its incredibly unlikely they would keep a park open to serve so few people. It has two bus stops to get people up to City walk fairly quickly.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    Adding Volcano Bay in 2017 was obviously a way to pay for the Theme Park that was not going to be opening for another 6 years. Im not sure by any metrics the location of Volcano Bay is a mistake, its directly connected to two hotels, and shuttle bus away from City Walk. It has room to grow by...

    Which could be used for inter-park transport when the 4th gate is built, maybe. but not between campuses. They are financially contributing the Kirkman Road extension, literally so they can have dedicated buslanes and a junction on to Epic Boulevard that has no stopping, the 4 mile journey...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Labour Day is five weeks away. It's entirely possible we see WDI riding this thing in the next month. I presented a timeline that stated they could be wrapped up on the ride itself by September into October, nothing I've seen in the past few updates contradicts that. They're just about done...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    I have no idea what "barnacles" means, i havent seen Spongebob in a while and dont have time to read back over loads of a forum, to see what youre all arguing about. But I was very very clear about both on twitter and my podcast about how 2400/hr is peak point and not operational, there was...

    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    What I was referring to in the first place: "IMO For FHSR, Universal's objective was more to killed the project completely. For the Brightline Project, Universals was willing to be the first theme park stop for the inbound traffic from S Florida." The point has always to bring a Trainline to...

    This is patently false. VHB were lobbying for the SR528. Perhaps you need to look up who they were representing, it might surprise you

    The most experienced existing staff will be Opening teams already planning who they want to move over there. Stuff like landscaping could possibly be in situ long before official opening, they will need to embed those new people into UOR so when the old ones move to south campus the newbies will...
