I wonder if they're already eyeing it considering Cinemark is now at Citywalk.I was never expecting for this project to take off, Dezer opened up his pinball place (an extension of the Miami car museum) and decided to close it in like 3 months. He opened up a car museum (as part of extreme action park) in Fort Lauderdale and once again closed it in 3 months. I know someone VERY close to the project and he says Dezer is spontaneous, bad at marketing, and not patient. If Universal can grab this land and the wooded land south of this property, it would be a no-brainier.
Just to have it for extra parking or a transportation hub would be helpful. It wouldn't be used for a park, but they are going to need a place for TMs to park or potentially overflow parking. They could also throw some hotels.I mean, to look at Artegon, if Universal was seriously considering to get that land..would they really want to use it for a park? I could easily see it becoming a transportation hub, to expand the parking to a massive size, and opening up expansion space for the northern end for more resorts.

Yeah this is like buying those extra parcels to the west of the Kirkman extension.Just to have it for extra parking or a transportation hub would be helpful.

Think of this land like the Toy Story Lot in Disneyland if Universal were to buy it.
If I’m Universal I’m buying all the land I can.
It’s not like what Universal is doing with the land is much of a secret.Makes sense. Once the new resort opens, the value of land is going to skyrocket.

Yeah at this point there's no cheap land left.It’s not like what Universal is doing with the land is much of a secret.

True but it's not 100% guaranteed.
I think it's a guarantee that one park gets built as of now.
My other point is that it can be postponed. We're living in crazy times and some analysts are predicting another recession in the next year or two. Tourism is always hit the hardest in these circumstances and building a new resort could be a gamble.
Nah, that could never happen. It's never happened at the exact same land with the exact same theme park.My other point is that it can be postponed.

Not a single sane person thought they were going to build the entire resort out initially.Which is why, and I think we're already seeing signs of this from the road plans, they *won't* be building an entire "resort" initially.
I was just in there a couple nights ago, the guy who runs the pinball collection said they were going to IAPPA with a couple trucks to buy new arcade machines & plan on opening new attractions by Spring.Hey everyone, so I talked to Dezer today and the chat was ... interesting. He's denying the violations (even tho the city provided me with the documents and noted he faces a $200/day fine) and he said he still plans to open the museum by Xmas.
Honestly, I think Dezer has so much money he could eat a $200 daily fine like nothing and wait for his guys to get the codes updated. He said he has no plans to move the cars.
Take that for what it's worth.
