Universal Orlando Resort Expansion (Part 1)

[IzzyB]

That's why I said one of the detached parcels makes sense. Keep it separate yet connected to the resort overall.

The tribe would want to build something, yes. But Universal would get nothing out of it. Hence why Universal would do nothing to encourage this.

I was saying the tribe would get nothing out of using Universals name, not that they would not want to build here.

Considering the one in Tampa is the 6th largest casino in the world and really isn't in Tampa as it's on I-4 right as you get to Tampa any casino in Orlando would probably cannibalize that business.

If it were that simple it would have happened YEARS ago. Seminoles would have been all over just planting a casino wherever they pleased. UNI doesn't need a casino anyway.

Casinos also aren't very family friendly. I don't see Universal building one.

Is there any point where the Dis monorail raises up high, that the concrete columns are super tall, or is it all pretty much level?

About 60' at it's peak. Both at the contemporary and between GF and MK.

It's actually about 70' at the Contemporary and 55' on the other side to allow the river boat to get under the beam through the canal.

Also Las Vegas monorail which is basically the same type of monorail system has a peak at about 60'.

I'm not so sure about that, keep in mind it's on the 5th floor of the building.

I have a vast archive of Disney monorail photos, documents and other content.

There's no way that Comcast would partner up with an Indian tribe to make a casino. This is a company that makes 75 billion in revenue a quarter. It's not going to go down the really sketchy path of scamming Native Americans to make a quick buck. The publicity would be detrimental and it wouldn't make all that much money for the hassle.

Yeah that casino conversation got it going lol. I think we can safely lay that discussion to rest as we know it will not happen. So I am sure it will be back to a snails pace again lol

Trust me, I know, it's part of my job to know that.

Universal's new Hotel & Casino. Or maybe instead of a Casino just make it a huge arcade with some casino type games that give tickets.

 

[captainmoch]

I think a casino-THEMED hotel could work, but there's no way they'd build an actual casino.

The fun of gambling without losing the money...thats what I call a win-win situation!

I went back and checked the documents I have looks like the maximum height is 65'.
