Imagineerland's Sydney Summer

[Sam Magic]

I'm not sure I see much of a problem. For getting guests from the airport to the resort, I have proposed a Magic Express like Bus line, except for all guests to the resort, not just those at the hotel. According to Google Maps, the trip between airport and resort is 16 minutes via M1 to the Cross City Tunnel and then A4. For comparison, the route from the Orlando Airport to the Contemporary for example is 35 minutes. So distance and time are not an issue to what I have proposed.

Additionally, I see this as one or two day visit resort, so it is intended for locals and those doing further visiting to Sydney. So the heaviest capacity load for transportation to the resort would likely be on public transportation, i.e. the buses, ferries, and light rails, which I believe have the capacity. Disney choose this site in the past after all, so they must have believed in the transportation. It would be nice if it was on a train line (I considered saying in the proposal that a new underground station was built under the transit hub specifically for the resort) but I think its ok.

It is not perfect, but its good enough for a hypothetical resort plan.

That's not taking into account rush hour traffic and increased road demands. The resort is in the center of Sydney, right next to the CBD, Darling Harbor, and the tourist attractions of Harbor Bridge and the Opera House. You're going to have a lot of people flowing into already crowded road ways.

As for guests coming out of Sydney, your bulk will be from other Australian cities like Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, and Gold Coast. Combined with guests from New Zealand and you're going to have quite a few number of guests coming in via the airport. It is crucial to have some time of alternative mode of transport that can get guests to the resort and back.

I would propose turing the Magic Express into maybe a Cross Sydney tunnel, a tunnel that stretches from the airport to the resort and has exits that connect to the major highways of the area. Then again that's just me....this project is honestly one of the best I have ever seen.

Thanks for more information. You seem to know alot more about this area that I do.

Honestly, all thats getting more in depth than I care to get about traffic. I definitely know its not perfect, but its such a remote element of the main design work for the resort that I feel ok leaving it flawed.

A few years ago I got really interested in Urban Planning and the Olympics. Those two interest got married in Sydney/Australia so I researched the living daylights out of the city and Australia as a whole. Any questions about the city or country odds are I can answer them.

For me I like to be detailed with traffic and such...maybe that's my urban planninng side coming out, but quite frankly you could put this on the moon and it would still be amazing. You shouldn't worry about trafic unless you want to be really detailed.

Ah good reason for all the research. I have a big appreciation for urban planning and wish we had more opportunities with it in architecture.

Yeah I like detail too, but I just know that I can't do everything with this project. Gotta have priorities. Like getting posts finished each week in time!
