It would be tough to get anything done involving I-4.
Astroworld in Houston had a overpass crossing the 10 lanes of 610 and 5/6 lanes of access road. Parking and park were on opposites of the highway and trams run between the two.

Random musing after the World Series ended last night and the obligatory Disney World spot with the winners (even though this will never happen):
Assuming a third gate is in the wings, taking a spot during the Super Bowl (which NBC just happens to have the broadcast rights to this year) featuring one of the star players of the winning team who's asked what he's going to do now - "I'm going to .... (long dramatic pause) Universal Studios!" Cut to exciting US/IoA footage and, of course, a teaser announcement for the third gate (probably opening years after said player has retired, but that's not the point). Big stage, big announcement, big swipe at Disney - I'd give them a golf clap for their boldness.

How many decades ago was that?
I'd guess 4 or more.
I would give ALL my Disney dollars to Universal for the next 5 years if they did that. It would be fantastic!!
Why?
Why is everyone so pro-Universal and (seemingly) anti-Disney around here? I welcome the competition as much as the next person but good grief!

I like both for different reasons! I can see if people go multiple times per year, every year, for a long time then it could easily get old. That being said, 2 to 2.5 days at a time is good enough for us at the Universal Parks. We're not really park warriors either so between Express Pass and early entry we can knock out a lot of stuff. For those who don't use it, then I can see the need to be there longer.
Agreed. A day trip a couple times a year to US has made it pretty stale for us-even the HP areas.
But more plans ahead will likely keep us going, its so close.

Not sure about that - I think both sides have their fans. There are a lot of posts that are sort of anti-Universal for all of the rides being screen based, and then the Universal fans argue back saying that isn't the case and Disney has screens too, etc. I think overall people love the Potter lands and think that has pushed Disney to up their games, but I see a lot of mixed (at best) reviews of the Kong attraction and pretty much *yawns* or negative reaction to the new Fast and Furious ride
And then other Universal fans poo poo all the construction that Disney is doing a too little to late or whatever
At the end of the day we all are the winners as whatever the driver both sides seem to be upping their game and doing a ton of construction ... well, I guess our wallets are the ultimate loser as with all the construction comes higher, and higher prices outpacing general economic growth, etc.
Fast and Furious hasn't even opened...
Universal has done some great things like potter and theming of Simpsons. However then they revert back to average or below average attractions like Jimmy Fallon and what we are expecting from F&F. I guess the next hope for something major is Nintendo.sorry - should have specified the reaction to recent information about the ride that was released - that is it entirely screen based and the ride vehicle just looks like a tram, etc.
