Something like this around the event centre would be nice...
Great Idea, call it "O-live"

I just hope they don't serve donuts.
You mean GLAZED donuts

The OPAC will have 3 halls, it will be bigger than the one built in Miami. I hear the design will be futuristic, but with some historical taste. The prototypes are very impressive.

Has anyone heard the rumor of the Jax Jags possibly moving to LA or Orlando?

For FFL purposes this caught my eye......Breaking-down the AFC & NFC Divisons(East, North, South,West)
Is there a Division out there with better "starting runningbacks" than the NFC West??? Rams-Steven Jackson; Seahawks-Shaun Alexander; 49ers-Frank Gore; Cardinals-Edgerrin James?? That's very impressive IMO!
Of course Ladainian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson make the AFC's West runner-up's. Eventhough LT is as good as it gets!

IS the citrus bowl able to hold an NFL crowd? It looks too old and in bad shape. How nice can the renos make it?
For 200 million, I think very nice. It can hold over 70 000 fans.

I've always thought the Pro Bowl should be in Orlando.
*We have great weather
*We have enough hotel rooms, and soon enough quality hotel rooms downtown to accomodate everyone
*We're smack in the middle of 3 NFL teams
*We're quickly becoming a mid-market city
*We're a mid market city without an NFL team
*It would be a great advertisement for our city
The only downside is I don't think we have enough strip clubs to support the Pro Bowl game.
May we can get Minny Mouse to strip for PAC MAN Jones, he ll make it RAIN.
or Rosen (Hotel Sluttt) will do it for singles.

now I'm hearing that the Pro-Bowl is expressing interest.
UFL " Mark Cubans" new league interested.
But I hear the Jacksonville Jaguars are interested

How about Magicwood
How about " Los Studios" or "Magicwood"
-
they can still do the domed baseball park there though and the grand prix race track. he has spoken with Champ Car Series; you can tell. maybe he's spoken with the Marlins? not sure what the update is on their situation.
Sounds good they can built it for the Marlins. The Marlins are offereing to pay 275 million. The rest of the money, then Mr Watson can pay for it. The race track go for it. I think baseball and grand prix racing will do well in this area because of the large amount of tourist and convention center attendies.
The Magic arena and Performing art center can stay in downtown.

Nice, I like Digitalia
How about Magicwood

"Digitalia" --- so there can be an excuse for all of Orlando's Mediterranean Revivial and adds a certain sense of pretention that Orlando tries so hard to achieve. Also, it sounds like a futuristic Utopia.

florida is a right to work state. the performance unions don't have nearly as much power here as they do in california. in fact the opposite is happening, the unions "strongarming" is causing work to leave california in droves. and it has been that way for at least ten years now.
i think the issue with orlando getting studios is still its image. it hasn't recovered from the "hollywood east" title it tried to adapt back in the late 80s and early 90s. in the entertainment industry its going to be extremely hard to shake the "strictly theme park town" title that everyone outside of orlando gives us.
to be honest, i think miami has more of a good chance of adapting that industry since a lot more production is already done down there and its kind of a darling in the industry right now with all the celebrities that live and play there.
my $.02
Forget Hollywood EAST, Forget LA HOLLYWOOD. Lets come up with a new name for the Orlando area media/production area. For example "Creative village" in downtown is a cool name. "Health Village" Lake Nona cool name. Any thoughts on Names?

I guess I see these as two separate issues: 1. Can a new large FL studio make it in competition with CA, and 2. Where will it be? Miami, Tampa, or Orlando.
Issue 1 is the developers call ...
I think that any package by Crotty/Dyer would put together would be sway developers on issue 2 after issue 1 is decided.
Orlando is the highest on the list given that it has MGM, Universal, etc. it makes sense to keep all the different talent together, plus it makes it a hub for media/production so talent is readily available. But the most import thing is that there is plenty of building room. Orlando is also central to Miami, Tampa, Atlanta, etc. The location is by far the best.
Miami sounds great but no room. Miami is so congested where will an 80 acres studio go in the everglades.
Tampa is just trying to catch up to Miami, and it getting worried that Orlando will soon pass them up in population and downtown size. Ask Trump, Tampa is not for him. There is talks of Trump building around internationl drive, plans are early and who knows if it ever would go forth.

Depends on how you look at it. We have NBC/Universal Studios, Disney/MGM Studios, Chapman/Leonard Studios and few other small single stage studio spaces in the area. We have a hard time keeping our studios filled with production. If they bring in another large scale studio, it will sit half empty most of the year. The studio (financing) corporations in LA like to keep an eye on what's going on. We will never get too much in Florida without having enough production companies making it on their own independently.
Currently Orlando has a great number of studios as you quoted, but adding a larger studio would bring more attention to Central Florida. Central Florida has the room and the resources to support building another studio. The studios in Los Angeles are getting old, but they do have a long history. As technology changes (digital media etc), I think developing Hollywood east would be a success. Florida will soon be the 3rd most populated state in the US and it is still increasing. New inovative studios will bring plenty of business, as the old LA studios will have to upgrade to compete with the new studios in Florida.

Apparently the Mercado is now becoming "The Square". The Unicorp webiste says construction is starting on phase 1 in Fall 2007 and they are in talks with a Hotel to develop 2,000 hotel rooms. Apparently there is a water feature still in the plan and the following tenants have agreed: Fogo De Choo, Trulucks, Martini Park, Ra Sushi, and Rock Bottom..
Below is the latest site plan.
