Tourism reporter @PTolleyOBJ got her hands on @boringcompany’s bid documents for the @UniversalORL transit system. Real interesting stuff that lays out some of what to expect.
(Great job, PT! 👏)
The Boring Company submitted its bid in October, proposing tunnel infrastructure similar to the Las Vegas loop. Here's what else the bid documents reveal. bizjournals.com/orlando/news…

Just a few choice photos from my visit to @UniversalORL #EpicUniverse yesterday. Didn’t get to try many rides due to wait (Ministry ride was great tho), but to see it in real life after covering it for years was surreal as always.
To those visiting today, enjoy and hydrate!

I get this is like first-world complaints, but I’ve been in Battle at the Ministry’s queue for over an hour. This may be the slowest moving line I’ve ever been in. Not sure what’s up. @UniversalORL #EpicUniverse

First post in a while, but it had to be that I am back on the beat for today at @UniversalORL #EpicUniverse. Crazy to be here after writing about the concept years ago. (Photo from inside the Atlantic in Celestial Park.)
