Universal has published documents outlining the bidding process for a potential transportation network linking its new Epic Universe park to the broader Universal Orlando Resort, according to the Orlando Business Journal.
This follows rumours of a collaboration with Elon Musk’s tunnel construction firm, The Boring Company, to develop an underground transit system.
Did they forget that Florida barely above sea level?
Chunnel went under the ocean, so it’s possible.
I wouldn’t trust Musk to competently tie my shoe and it doesn’t even have traditional laces.
Yeah, there’s a lot of water between those parks. I guess it’s not going to stop musk from claiming it can be done and then never finishing it.
He did that in Maryland specifically to prevent a rail project from being built. There’s not much that Elon hates more than public transit for some reason
The reason is that he’s a psychopathic asshole who is staunchly opposed to any societal progress.
For real? What do I need to search to read up on this?

It is weird they built it so far from the other parks I was wondering what the plan was. I guess there was no plan haha. I think there is a reason fl doesn’t already have tunnels.
It would be interesting if they could make it work. I doubt they can
Yeah the low sea level and aquifer have historically nixed any kind of underground stuff here. Same reason very few Floridians have cellars.
The other two parks and resorts they want to connect to are landlocked by other urban development. My guess is Universal built as close as they could with regard to what land was available for the initial new park and future expansion plans.
It’s not unheard of. Houston is pretty similar, as far as water level goes, to Orlando, and it has a massive underground area below downtown.
