- Major updates this month include the concrete paving of the north parking lot, which appears to be 60% complete. More concrete paving was done to the route along the south parking lot, with the set up of the eastern exit along the DNT access road. Once this exit is complete, they can start constructing the paved areas currently in use. Also, green landscape netting was added on the south side to prevent erosion. This area has a high grade, and it had JUST finished raining when I took off.
My kids are grown, but I still want to check this out when it opens.
Same. My daughter will be in high school by then, but I’m hoping it will be more like Disney, with family style rides instead of extreme thrills the regular Universal parks are known for. Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to seeing what their actual plan is for this park.
Me too. I’m hoping they’ll have some sort of preview center, probably whenever the city roads are paved to get to it. With the complete redo of the original concept art, I don’t know how much of the new concept we will see come to life, especially with the disappointment of the new area that replaced KidZone in Orlando. Right now, they seem more focused on parking, driveways, staff buildings, the hotel, and park entrance. It was good seeing them do something in the actual physical park that day, even if it’s just grading.
Thanks for watching!
Looks like some real progress finally. Thanks again for the labels.😊
They need to fix 380 then finish up on this😅 but its looking good
The problem with 380 is that it is funded by TxDOT as well as constructing it. Being a government agency, they are in control of that, and have little, if anything, to do with the Universal project, since that is a business, that is also involved with the needs/request of the City of Frisco rather than TxDOT. Universal Kids would affect DNT, if they weren’t already in the process of expanding it.
Both DNT and 380, at least those phases, should be complete by the time Universal Kids opens. To be honest, I don’t drive on 380 often, and when I do, I freak out a little. My grandparents used to live off 380. …literally. In fact, my grandmother would get rear ended a few times trying to turn into the driveway, I guess because, at the time, the highway was higher, and the property lower, thus hard to see why on earth someone would be slowing down. NOTHING existed there back then. It used to be a two lane asphalt road back when they lived there. They had to start buying water utilities when they improved 380 the first time, (the concrete road you see today), as they were on well water. That’s how middle of nowhere, rural nothingness, that area was back then. So to see it today, in its present state, is a huge time jump for me, especially since their home was demolished several years ago. It’s just a vacant lot now.
I should have the August update in a couple weeks. Hopefully more pavement. Thanks for watching.
@texney Thank you for the in depth comment, and yes I'll be tuned in! The growth in the area overall is definitely insane
