    Well I think both things are true. The crowds at SWGE at DL were most definitely disappointing, but the 10 hour waits at Hagrids were not really a sign of success and demand. That ride has terrible load times and to this day continues to have mechanical issues. This is also a failure of crowd management.

    The 3 story apartment complex on 50 in Oakland was denied zoning changes so it appears that project is dead.

    This is such a bummer

    What’s a bit confusing is the drawings showing 440’ and then seeing references to 444’ and still calling it a new tallest.

    So I live right by the Oakland Nature Preserve and while walking on the West Orange Trail today I saw this sign for new luxury apartments right across from Nature Preserve and my neighborhood. Quite the project for our little area

    I think there continues to be some misunderstanding on the historical nature of these buildings being knocked down. I’m pretty sure that ballroom was a 1994 add on. The Orchid Room itself I’m a little more fuzzy on. This could be part of the original historic complex but if that’s so I would think some protections would be in place.

    From inside Amway... crown work starting

    I'm a bit hesitant at this point to answer....but Trailside Station backed up to the Nature Preserve.

    Has anybody heard if this did indeed go in front of city council and what happened? This project has been quiet lately and I am so rooting for it .

    I live in Oakland which is physically 34760 but Oakland doesn’t have a post office that delivers so my mailing address uses Winter Garden’s 34787. I wonder if the situation was similar for Gotha Unincorporated parts of Orange County and areas not fully supported by post offices make ZIP codes and what town people actually live in very confusing around here. On the west side, soooo many people think they live in Windermere when they really just live in unincorporated Orange County

    Well this appears to be unpopular opinion time, but if this can get built as promised...knock the building down and then knock the tree down. I like big old trees but it's not exactly a park there and that building even in Orlando doesn't make me want to save as a gem of an era.

    New crown design??? Yes please!
  14. Tim3167
    This is unbelievable. So somebody underbuilds on a prime downtown lot and then forces another developer to scale their plans to appease the suburban vibe they created??? i had imagined the appeal had no weight to it whatsoever so this is surprising.

    I actually hadn’t seen that article before and there a few new tidbits that I appreciated. I really thirst for any news at all on this project so share away!
  16. Tim3167
    That Fox35 article is from Nov 20
  17. Tim3167
    That article also restates the earlier quote from the developer that there is only a slight chance this project will remain that tall. It seems like in more recent things I’ve read he is embracing the notion of a new tallest. i hope this isn’t a bunch of excitement for nothing.
  18. Tim3167
    So any updated thoughts on the early talk that the developer would likely reduce height as it moved through the permitting process?

    Here is an old obj article that’s pretty informative on the Pizutti proposal https://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/1998/11/02/story6.html
  20. Tim3167
    So the big question is does the FAA approve this? This is very close to the Pizutti cube tower site that was denied first at 649’ and then again at a revised 487’. Do you think they would have already gauged the likelihood of approval?
  21. Tim3167
    Ha! I remember those maps and I think I recall that as well. I thought that one was happening.
  22. Tim3167
    Yep, I was responding to a post above.
  23. Tim3167
    Are they any renderings or images of the model possibly that showed the true height of that theater in phase 2? That's just huge!
  24. Tim3167
    The Olympia Place building with the funny top was a second phase, not the original building. There used to be a model of this in the back of the lobby in the existing tower. I used to circle the lot every once in awhile back in the day to look for any sign of progress.

    I was told they sometimes run out of busses and have to supplement with charter busses.
