Cyrbuzz Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 What time does the committee meet? Praying this passes so the smaller groups can get a share of the tourist pie, not to mention get a great new coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddytheviper Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The meeting for the decision on Skyplex is happening now and is LIVE. Â There is a live stream of it HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Fox Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The opponents to this are a joke. Â "What happens when someone sees the roller coasters and is so surprised (by the first roller coaster they've ever seen in Orlando!) that they get into a car accident?"

RCT3Bross Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I like that kid they should listen to him. Thanks for the link this is exiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 They're saying its a traffic hazard... How stupid... If they're building something like this, wouldn't that encourage further development, including building new/better infrastructure to service all the traffic coming that way, making it better than it is now?

Taylor Finn Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yeah, it seems like the majority of opposition is very weak. I'm excited to hear. What is the timetable for a decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It's a lot of support for this project, Let's hope they get the memo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlaKoaster Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The positive people are putting forward great cases IMHO. Very mature, reasoned arguments, and I love the woman who started her speech with the anecdote about Paris and the Eiffel Tower and the opposition it faced and how it became an icon. Also good on the guy who called out Universal for being bullies (and I'm a huge Universal fangirl) Â I had to laugh at the opponent who was saying about body bags in the street and police tape closing off the roads... surely such hysteria doesn't do the 'no' camp any favours!

chickenbowl Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Watching for a few minutes and I've seen nothing but support! I am very excited, hoping that everything gets passed today!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidated305 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Watching for a few minutes and I've seen nothing but support! I am very excited, hoping that everything gets passed today!! Thinking the same thing. I have a feeling that this is going to better than I thought it would, which is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlaKoaster Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think there have been about 3-4 people out of nearly 15-20 who have opposed. A couple were nearby residents who were concerned about the visual impact, and a couple mentioned increased traffic, including one guy who seemed to think that there would be 'body bags lining the street' through pedestrian deaths!

Midgetman82 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Finally caught the recent 15 minutes of the stream. I figured there would be plenty of people present in support for the project, but I didn't expect them to be the overwhelming majority! It's quite pleasing to see!

Dom497 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm already loving this kid! Â EDIT: How rude for the adults to laugh at the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlaKoaster Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think they only laughed because of his little chuckle at the end. I'm loving hearing everybody's thoughts. The kid made great points, and I genuinely think lots of people will visit Universal AS WELL AS Skyplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Im not expert on Orlando planning rules and regulations or fully knowledgeable on this whole situation, but if Skyplex is going to be successful (which is looks like it will be) I assume Universal will have the right to appeal the decision and most likely use it.

KarlaKoaster Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) 18 more speakers, and they are accepting no more. So about 40 more minutes of presentations I guess. Â The guy with glasses is making such a great argument saying about how CItywalk got so many subsidies, crushed the competition and are not even allowing competitors to respond.

Woodie Warrior Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Absolutely love all the stories they're all sharing. Â My favorite is the woman from Russia whose family came to visit her in Orlando and the first thing they asked to do is see where the Skyplex was going to be built.

RCT3Bross Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Got high hopes this battle is won by Skyplex, let's hope Universal realizes the stupidity they left here and let it be build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meghna Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Oh, and here is Universal. Â "Ignoring the community" Yeah, because a whole community saying they want it is going against what the community wants. Â Edit: Bless the person who got up to say this.

KarlaKoaster Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I love this guy at the moment.... his point is that it isn't theme parks in Orlando that are competitors, but it's Las Vegas, New York etc that are the competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorneyKid14 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Why is universal fighting this if its not about the competition? Just because of the height and stuff like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
