Where is a picture of the model? Or is the model one of the concept art pictures?

Looks like a fun place to hang out. I agree that the name sucks but if it delivers and is a hit, then the name will grow on you. Since Florida is the theme here, I'd love to see a controlled alligator moat in there somewhere with all that water available.

Looks nice. I wish they'd put this type of effort into the parks, which are in much more need of an upgrade. A lot more money to be made here, I guess.

concept art looks nice. i'm down for anything that bring cohesion to an area that is sort of a fragmented mess.

but ultimately, this has to be judged on the vendors. more specifically, who will be there and how will they be incorporated.

if i could just get one cool bar/pub out of the deal, i'd be happy.

I wouldnt mind seeing a bigger stage area down by the water, but that is just me.

I believe I read it's getting more seating. So, that's a good messing with.

I am feeling a little judged right now.... ......

FWIW, there is a difference between being a "follower" of someone and "following" them on Twitter.

Hey, I never said which answer gets which response

I can't see why they would save for making it bigger.

Believe the plan was to expand and improve it, that's ok though right?

Can we cool it with the gifs and memes? It's starting to get a little out of hand these days.

The first concept art picture needs more strollers and scooters.

I would like, to like this post a thousand times.

So 2016 means that it would be 8 years since the closure of the Pleasure Island night clubs. 8 years to redevelop a shopping area. 8 years.

I just can't get over that.

All for making it bigger and better.... it just better not be closed in 2014 for renovations. (Holiday sandwich year round....mmmmm!)

Looks a lot like what was expected.

As long as the Earl remains, the LEGO Store sticks around, and we get a new, fun bar/pub out of the deal, I'm on board. Loving the look, it's giving cohesion to something that was always more than a little fractured thematically.

Let us not forget that the worst recession since the great depression was going on for more than half of that 8 years. Had that not happened PI would have been filled inside of a year.
