Nice one right off the bat - I like the exploratory nature of the resort, very fitting and like the special effects with the drinks at the pool.Waterworld resort
Based on the movie of the same name, waterworld resort feature high theming with the hotel and rooms looking like they came straight out of the movie. The hotel will feature a pool, a scavenger hunt, and a golf area for extra irony. Similar to disney, at the bar if you order a certain drink, the nearby lake will blow up!
Bonus: Disney World will be getting a new resort based on ups paradise falls near animal kingdom..

Oh man...this would be up my alley. Families with little Timmy and Sally though, I'm not sure if this is as enticing. However, it's a very innovative way of merging what could be a park attraction with an actual resort hotel. It feels like a boutique resort in a way with only 100 rooms and under $200. I wonder how it would smell because I doubt many people would take a shower in that environmentBates Motel
Coming soon, right off of Universal Boulevard, is a cheap hotel themed to Psycho, with almost all of the 100 rooms being under $200. However, if you're willing to spend more, you can spend the night in the Bates House Guest Room, but any of the other guests can walk into the house for the counter-service restaurant inside. Just watch out in the shower, because the tiles pull back to reveal a silhouette oh Norman Bates!
Bonus: Just bring back the Mickey-Shaped hotel that Eisner once pitched and put it near Holywood Studios, more details here.
Bonus: +1 nice retro throwback.

I like the thought here - very neat designing an entire structure focusing on a different Dreamworks property each time! I'm not sure how being the deepest pool translates to everyone loving Shrek but okay haha - I do like the attention to detail with the pool descriptions and the mystery on every floor. Nice job.Dreamworks Adventure!
This 12 floor hotel will have a level for each famous Dreamwork movie which includes an interactive mystery you have to solve on the floor your staying on! There will be 3 pools which will include the first pool being shaped like Shrek, and being the deepest pool, because everyone loves Shrek, the second pool will be How to Train Your Dragon with a waterslide that has lights inside to make the experience even more fun, and last but not least the Boss Baby pool which is the kid pool. The hotel will have a fun colorful exterior with a lovable interior that has a fun meet and greet restaurant, a play area, and much more with Universal hoping kids pick Universal over Disney.
Bonus: Disney's Ocean Resort with rooms decorated as Moana, The Little Mermaid, and Finding Nemo/Dory that icludes a mini waterpark at the resort.
Bonus: +1 Basically Art of Animation water style?

Amity Island Resort
Paying tribute to the classic Universal film, Jaws, that helped create the tradition of summer blockbusters as well as inspired the iconic defunct attraction that helped launch Universal Studios Florida, the Amity Island Resort will be a wonderful new preffered resort themed to the New England beach resort town seen in the film.
The hotel will be built encircling a false lake with a sandy shore meant to resemble an actual beach complete with salt water in the lake allowing guests to enjoy beach front activities during their stay such as building sand castles, swimming, sunbathing, definitely not getting eaten by sharks, volleyball, and more including nightly (weekly on the off season) outdoor showings of movies from the Jaws franchise projected onto the side of the lobby building so guests can watch it while floating in the lake and not being eaten by sharks.
The resort will be done in a way that it can stand on it's own as a classic New England beach front inspired resort for people unaware of or not caring about Jaws allowing it to work as both an immersive themed environment and as a high class resort.
BONUS
The X-Mansion Experience based on the comic book version of the X-Men franchise will allow guests to X-perience life at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters even if just for a night coming soon to Disneyland Resort after the Fox deal is fully settled.
I really like the description of this - going with the horror element but also added a bit of security and sun with the beachfront aesthetic. I have to laugh though at the usage of the film throughout as if people would never notice that - oh geez I'm in this same place lol I still liked the Uni Jaws ride - nice to see it back in some aspect to the resort
Bonus: X-pertly done +1

I like the idea of staying in the mansion and adding more greenery to the resort complex - after seeing the Biltmore I can picture something in a similar vein to that. My one question is when Deadpool shows up will there be more than 2 X-Men in there or could Universal not afford it?XAVIER’S ACADEMY FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS
Universal’s first in-park hotel lets guests stay overnight in Islands of Adventure’s Superhero Island, in the famous X Mansion where Professor X secretly trains and deploys the X-Men, introducing guests to a secret world of Mutants (and carefully keeping Disney from using Marvel in Florida).
Hotel grounds resemble forested Upstate New York surrounding a stately brownstone estate, whose interiors include a Cerebro check-in, a Danger Room exercise facility, communal dining halls, and props dedicated to the various X-Men.
Every room is themed to a different Mutant - see frozen pipes in Ice Man’s room, claw slashes in Wolverines, lightning scars in Storm’s, et cetera, and even study with Mutant professors to discover your own Mutant power in an up-charge activity utilizing RFID-activated effects.
BONUS - Sunnyside Day Care
Enjoy life under the warm, protecting, never-strict arm of Lotso Huggin’ Bear in this oversized preschool whose rooms in no way resemble prison cells for toys.
Bonus: +1 get rid of that monkey

I like your thought process with this! Tying in a popular franchise along with something that was actually in the film - a nice touch all around and a way to breathe new life into the JP area.
Bonus: +1 (though I will say Stark Tower can't be in DHS due to the Universal Contract)

A very interesting spin on a resort here - including multiple resort tiered rooms in one. Reminds me of World Showcase but as a hotel resort haha - in a good way through. My only concern would be how large it is and if it can hold this many contrasting themes in a close range, or if it would become cluttered. That being said I do like a second CityWalk style area to take some of the pressure off of that area, but also not have it be as high volume.Challenge 9:Using part of the parking lot behind "Universal Studios Florida" and "Islands of Adventure", a new highly immersive resort recreating the streets of famous locations throughout Europe while encompassing the wonders and beauty of the continent will open, introducing a new design to Universal's resorts with a CityWalk-like shopping and entertainment district on the ground level and premier and preferred hotel rooms located above as well hosting a new transportation system connecting City Walk to this massive resort.

I think this was very well written and described - a bold choice nonetheless but something I think paid off. While the image I'm assuming is not custom by yourself, it does wonders in actually giving me something to look at and try to visualize what the resort would look like. That being said, as a running theme in some of my reviews, where is it located? This feels like a large complex - I'm assuming this would go towards the 3rd gate rumors and be in a new area away from the more congested areas that exist right now. Great job though.Sonic's Green Hill Zone Resort
Spinballing into Universal Resort Orlando is Sonic's Green Hill Zone Resort, obviously based on Sonic the Hedgehog, bringing to life the palm trees, looping hills, and colourful sights and sounds of the 1991 video game's opening zone to life, based entirely around a large oasis (i.e. a giant swimming pool), with the hotel having two major restaurants, gyms, huge Sega arcades, etc..
The hotel is thematically split in two, both sides having six floors each; Sonic's side is more naturalistic and beachy, with huge palm trees, the Green Hill Zone's unique loops and hills making up the buildings, with numerous hotel rooms designed after Sonic and friends, so Sonic's rooms are rather laidback and beachy, Tails' have a sky theme and resemble a workshop or a plane hangar, Knuckles the Echidna's have a jungle, tribal, Aztec design, Amy Rose's are more urban and homely with an emphasis on the colour pink and her devotion to Sonic, Big the Cat's rooms are simplistic in design and made from the forest (lots of wood), and Shadow the Hedgehog's is both futuristic and militaristic at the same time.
The other hand of the resort was designed by Dr. Robotnik, who is an evil genius, but also has a flair for design, using sleek metallic colours of silver, grey, red, black, and yellow, with each room mostly dedicated to his own brilliance, but also his many robotic creations.
Bonus - The Muppets' Happiness Hotel - While perhaps not as rundown as its movie counterpart, the Muppets' Happiness Hotel is small and cozy, and sporting the classic brand of Muppet humour, like a crashed motorbike hanging out of the ceiling, the kitchen is run by rats, Miss Piggy has the best suite in the hotel (of course), and there are nightly performances from the Electric Mayhem.
Bonus: +1 @AceAstro would stay here.

Very nice, I really enjoy Adventure/Polynesia style resorts - makes it feel like a resort, and is a nice commodity I'm assuming near Cabana Bay - it would almost be like the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts of Universal - the Waturi and Cabana Bay Resorts!
Already I'm liking the realism behind it. Overall I think this was your best submission yet - great job!
Bonus: +1 (though that land between Contemp and TTC is iffy to build on, only in these types of comps!)

I like how it goes dark but with a Haunted Mansion style 'dark' - focusing on the family friendly aspect. I like the location next to the 3rd gate because I think that gives it some room to build around. Not much more to say about it, nicely done.
Bonus: +1 would have to open my eye to this.
Waterworld resort
Based on the movie of the same name, waterworld resort feature high theming with the hotel and rooms looking like they came straight out of the movie. The hotel will feature a pool, a scavenger hunt, and a golf area for extra irony. Similar to disney, at the bar if you order a certain drink, the nearby lake will blow up!
Bonus: Disney World will be getting a new resort based on ups paradise falls near animal kingdom..
I’m not very familiar with the franchise but overall this sounds like an amazing experience, and fun family experience, as it has a golf course and scavenger hunt! And high theming is always enjoyable, although I believe the movie was considered a failure so not sure how big its fandom is...
Bonus: Paradise Falls as a Hotel is amazing! +1
Bates Motel
Coming soon, right off of Universal Boulevard, is a cheap hotel themed to Psycho, with almost all of the 100 rooms being under $200. However, if you're willing to spend more, you can spend the night in the Bates House Guest Room, but any of the other guests can walk into the house for the counter-service restaurant inside. Just watch out in the shower, because the tiles pull back to reveal a silhouette of Norman Bates!
Bonus: Just bring back the Mickey-Shaped hotel that Eisner once pitched and put it near Holywood Studios, more details here.
For Horror Fans, I’m sure this would be a great experience, and having a diner experience for all sounds like a great idea, I really like the TV series that served as a Backstory for Norman! Overall, this sounds like a unique experience, that would be extremely popular during Halloween!
Bonus: Mickey Shaped Hotel is genius. +1
Dreamworks Adventure!
This 12 floor hotel will have a level for each famous Dreamwork movie which includes an interactive mystery you have to solve on the floor your staying on! There will be 3 pools which will include the first pool being shaped like Shrek, and being the deepest pool, because everyone loves Shrek, the second pool will be How to Train Your Dragon with a waterslide that has lights inside to make the experience even more fun, and last but not least the Boss Baby pool which is the kid pool.

Bonus: Disney's Ocean Resort with rooms decorated as Moana, The Little Mermaid, and Finding Nemo/Dory that icludes a mini waterpark at the resort.
This sounds like a nice kid friendly hotel, however I think that focusing on so many franchises might make it harder to sell, as many would be more interested on staying on the HTTYD floor than the Bee Movie Floor, nevertheless, at the time those could be sold at a higher price. I wish you would have mentioned more on the interactive mystery as I’m a little iffy on that. However, the pools sounds amazing, I can definitely see those being a big draw for the hotel.
Bonus: That Hotel would be a hit. +1
XAVIER’S ACADEMY FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS

This sounds like a move Comcast would do as a “revenge” from Disney for stealing Fox from them! I really like the concept, and would surely stay on it, plus the Marvel fandom would die to go there, so it would definitely be extremely profitable! It’s a really neat idea! Good Job!
Bonus: Great Idea! +1
Jaws is such a classic, a hotel themed to it would be fantastic, and the idea of it being a fake island of sorts is amazing, so much potential! Another Island themed Hotel I was hoping to see a proposal for is Bella Donna (it might or might not have to do with the fact I’m listening to Mamma Mia 2’s Soundtrack as I’m writing the reviews), the theming and environment of it, really sold it to me, this is too good of an idea!

This is probably the most profitable of all the ideas so far, people would die to be able to walk into it, myself included, specially if there will be LCI Dinosaurs, just imagine it, that would be real magic there, hopefully one day Universal will do something like this, it would be majestic! Great Work!
Bonus: If only Disney was able to use this... +1

I really like this idea, mostly because it’s the only IPless one, which seems to be extremely common in Universal Hotels, they tend to be less focused in characters, and having it be themed around diffferent areas of Europe would be beautiful, I know for a fact that I would love to stay there, it would be extremely enchanting! Great idea, I really like it!
Bonus: Incredibles and EPCOT? I’m sold! +1
