Very nice guy who likes providing coverage of the parks and central florida attractions with the occasional trip to TDS or Shanghai. Always responds when I message him, you should ask him directly.

Universal Studios Beijing model and artwork was posted on the disneyandmore site (not sure if the link is allowed.
Just wondering if we can expect some of the lands, attractions etc to be duplicated in the Orlando park

Okay, I will step into the Troll's den. The photo is showing site work taking place, mainly the filling in of an area that
was previously, a lake. It is now an area that construction can begin on.

Site work is 1/2 the game in she swamp...
This could be nothing...or the start of a major expansion.
The latter is a major gamechange to Orlando and threat to Disney...just no way to put a good face on that.

Oh, you know, just filling in a giant retention pond for no reason at all. Just wasting thousands upon thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of dollars to modify the topography, adjust drainage and runoff, and make sure this is all satisfactory to the South Florida Water Management District. They're just doing it for fun and to blow a wad of cash. No plans for a park, entertainment facilities, and more resorts, just felt like wasting the money.

Yep. Universal bought 1000 acres to open a Dude Ranch Glamping Resort. It's just gonna be some tents and cows.
It's the site of their new fifteen hundred acre resort: The Campgrounds at Lockheed Martin.

Upcharge opportunities include pressing the button to initiate a weapons test, which you can watch remotely, and tours of their facilities. Of course...after the tour they'll have to kill you, or so the men in the black helicopter will make you think.

I drove past the area today .... no work, nothing going on.
If this development is in the works, we are talking a very long time away. Just because they bought the land doesn't mean they plan to use it straight away. It may well be for future expansion, but also for other reasons : 1) stopping any competitors buying the land, 2) simply adding real estate to the portfolio, etc.
Those who are predicting imminent works are on the way (ie construction begining this or next year) are way off.

Well that does it everybody! Nothing to see here! No new park! No possible expansion! You see there is nobody there, today,
so it is never going to happen! The Sage of the Boards has spoken!!! (The Great and Powerful DarleneBurrows. Don't look behind
that curtain!!!)

Hey, remember that forum user who said that Star Wars Land was never going to get built?
Yeah, good times.

You don’t need to convince us. We already know that you don’t a have clue as to what you are talking about.

Who said that?
My predictions that nothing is imminement is based on 1) the casual manner in which it was spoken about, in the middle of a speech and a couple of words at that. Nothing concrete was said. If it was definately on, they would announce it properly in a major way (the way the are working that PR at Beijing). 2) No construction or sight work going on at all. 3) Zelda going into Islands of Adventures, 4) Alot of replacement attractions and work needed on existing parks.
Likely it was you under your previous account.
