Updated Aerial Imagery of Universal Orlando (Feb. 2016)
On February 5, 2016, the amazing NearMap site was updated to show a current aerial view of some of the major cities in the United States, including Orlando.
Thanks to this update, we are able to get an up-close look at some of the areas that are currently under construction around Central Florida's theme parks. As you will see, the progress that has been done in some locations is nothing short of amazing (this update only includes the Universal Orlando Resort). Enjoy!

The vastness of the Volcano Bay compared to Wet n Wild is crazy. I know there are mixed feelings, but I realy wish some fight to keep Wet n Wild open had been made by now. It may be small, but it's packed with good slides for single and group riders in such a convenient location.
ReplyDeleteAny billionaires out there wanna buy Wet n Wild and keep it going?
