everyone Adam the woo here as the
0:05
recording of this Monday March 18th
0:10
2024 I am heading across Highway 192 to
0:14
an area outside of Celebration that I
0:17
refer to as no man's
0:20
land because I just heard news it was
0:24
announced from a couple different
0:26
sources that the resort that has been
0:29
decrepit and falling apart and
0:32
abandoned is going to be developed and
0:35
this is a
0:37
big big announcement for this area
0:40
especially because it's going to be
0:41
right across from the town I live in
0:45
they're even talking about putting a
0:46
ferris wheel in there some resorts a
0:49
little water area a couple of hotels
0:52
things like that but a freaking Ferris
0:54
wheel so I'm going to head over there
0:56
and check it out I'm also going to take
0:58
this through a drive-thru Duncan
1:02
drive-thru first time I've ever taken
1:04
the gy E2 through a drive-thru and see
1:07
what
1:08
happens so that's what I'm doing today
1:10
those two things and maybe others I'm
1:12
inviting you to join me let's get some
1:14
coffee shall you it's about 12:30 right
1:20
now supposed to rain around
1:23
3:00 let's give this a
1:27
try never taken this through a
1:29
drive-thru before
1:34
welcome to Duncan if you placed your
1:36
order through the mobile app let us know
1:38
the name on your order hello if not we
1:41
will be right with
1:58
you maybe I don't weigh
1:58
enough
2:07
maybe they're not going to let me
2:07
through
2:12
here no I think the cart weighs enough
2:13
cuz if it didn't it wouldn't have
2:14
automatically done that wow macaron a
2:17
nuget hey can I just get a large hot
2:20
coffee with two creams Two Sugars okay
2:22
that's it come on down thank
2:35
it worked all right accomplished now the
2:35
rule when it comes to glorified golf
2:37
carts and things like this are you're
2:39
not supposed to go on Highway 192 you
2:42
can ride on the sidewalk but you can
2:44
also go across 192 so as long as you're
2:47
with the flow of traffic going across
2:49
the main road that is allowed you just
2:52
can't get on Highway 192 so I'm just
2:55
crossing over the road with the
2:58
traffic
3:17
good all right I'm oh no still wide
3:17
open I thought maybe since the news
3:19
broke that they would have fenced it up
3:22
a little better but this place is wide
3:27
wide
3:28
open so part of the reason I wanted to
3:30
check this out about 6 months ago it may
3:33
have been a year ago went in here
3:37
and showed what it looks like now and
3:40
then about a month and a half two months
3:42
ago I did an update where I just drove
3:43
around the the perimeter which is
3:45
probably what I'm going to do today I
3:46
don't want to be going inside I you
3:48
can't really see me but it used to be
3:50
the Orlando Sun Resort you can see right
3:57
there I think it'd be kind of neat to
3:57
look back
3:58
on on last ride around I'm sure once
4:01
they start the
4:02
construction I just kind of film from
4:05
the road it won't be going
4:07
inside take a look at this I mean the
4:09
fences just completely
4:12
down and this is where a new massive
4:15
massive undertaking for Highway
4:19
192 hopefully crossing my fingers
4:23
happens and I'll site the sources as
4:27
well and show where I show I read that
4:34
online this one is off of a site called
4:34
growth spotter massive new hotel
4:36
Entertainment District heading to Disney
4:39
area it's called going to be called the
4:41
Ovation District would trans for the I4
4:44
and 192 interchange in CMI after 2 years
4:49
of planning Miami base Meers group has
4:51
submitted its first master plan for the
4:53
Ovation Entertainment District and this
4:57
is a artistic rendering
5:00
of what it's going to look
5:01
like and a Dutch wheel hotels dining and
5:05
a Dutch wheel which is another word for
5:06
Ferris wheel which will be able to be
5:08
seen from
5:10
I4 and here's a little more detailed
5:13
kind of showing the layout of what it's
5:16
going to
5:21
be it's the first step in permitting
5:21
process the projects of West 192 tourism
5:25
Corridor or W1 I'm guessing that's West
5:29
19 2 and then the Orlando Sentinel also
5:32
posted a day or two a couple days ago
5:34
here's another rendering of what it's
5:36
going to look like right
5:42
there and then some more
5:42
details from Orlando
5:49
Sentinel the tallest building I'm kind
5:49
of reading off of this tallest building
5:51
at the corner of the project will be a
5:52
full service hotel with 350
6:06
you can see over there there is a ton of
6:06
prop is a big footprint tourism
6:08
footprint right
6:13
here but basically kind of what you're
6:15
looking at there will be more or
6:19
less with the added of the F the ferris
6:21
whe kind of excit me CU I love Ferris
6:23
wheel Ferris
6:25
wheels there is a ferris wheel at
6:27
Oldtown which is I don't know quarter of
6:30
a mile from here half mile so this is a
6:32
news
6:34
update per se and prop I guess property
6:36
as
6:44
well you just never I really had my
6:44
doubts about the Highway 192 area now
6:47
once you get more towards Highway 27 and
6:51
192 it's not as decrepit as this and
6:55
falling apart so it looks like it's
6:57
starting to creep its way this way which
6:58
is nice development anyway which I am
7:01
all
7:03
for a little speed bump
7:17
here yeah I think I'm just going to
7:17
cruise around the perimeter I'm not
7:18
going to go
8:02
looking a little more here at the the
8:05
renderings of the layout of it you got
8:08
I4 up there or at least the on not I4
8:11
but the on ramp onto I4 on and
8:18
off but I'm kind of like somewhere in
8:18
the
8:25
middle so right there that little blue
8:25
sideways thing is going to be the ferris
8:28
wheel
8:40
and you can see those hotels on the
8:40
rendering also over
8:48
there again really big
8:48
footprint and I would imagine developing
8:50
this and
8:52
making making the area a little nicer
8:55
will definitely be
9:00
beneficial
9:00
you can see I noticed these last time
9:02
about a month and a half ago I drove
9:03
around the perimeter also you notice the
9:06
orange tags on there on the
9:55
back I can see those rain clouds
9:55
starting to come
10:08
always fascinated by you know stuff like
10:08
this but also progress I always try to
10:10
document you know the area when it
10:12
happens mystery fun house is gone now
10:15
they buil some condos there the
10:18
old Holy Land Experience amusement park
10:22
was there forever it showed the
10:25
slow demise of that closure of that the
10:28
tearing down of of all
10:39
that across the street from the Big
10:39
Orange was the movie riter got that a
10:43
couple days before they bulldozed
10:45
that goodness
10:48
gracious this place is something
10:50
else has definitely seen better days
10:53
that is an
11:07
now I mentioned this before but bright
11:09
Sun films did a great documentary on
11:12
this place a few years
11:13
ago I've mentioned him in the in the
11:17
past whenever I've been
11:19
here check that out if you want to know
11:21
a lot of the history of the
11:28
place
11:48
you can see there's there drapes right
11:48
there are closed and then below you see
11:50
fire
11:58
damage right there is I4 going by the
11:58
i41 92
12:30
corridor
12:48
I4 a lot the Furnitures and beds are in
12:48
there and you know whenever I see drapes
12:51
like that completely
12:52
closed kind of lets me know probably
12:55
don't want to really get off the cart
12:57
and go rooting around
13:00
I would not
13:28
recommend
13:29
here this big beautiful tree right
13:32
here it's got the little tape around it
13:36
also that palm tree is not doing
13:39
well see all the busted out
13:49
windows busted up
13:49
TVs
14:16
really curious to see if this project
14:16
does happen if it goes full steam ahead
14:20
and how quickly when it does this will
14:23
be leveled once they start the
14:26
progress I mean usually you get the
14:28
announcement then you have a
14:29
confirmation if it's even going to
14:30
happen there's been things they say are
14:32
going to happen and never
14:39
do pool is right over in there won't be
14:39
going to the
14:51
pool last little cruise around the
14:51
perimeter of this
14:53
place before again
14:56
hopefully it's torn down
15:19
it's kind of eerie driving through here
15:19
I got to be
15:26
honest been out of Walking
15:26
Dead if I don't see any zombies the
15:29
moment which is a good
15:41
thing look at all that fire damage holy
17:03
fascinating stuff
17:03
fascinating a thriving
17:05
place now no longer thriving complete
17:10
opposite and now will be at some point
17:15
again if the announcements are true
17:17
we'll be thriving once again this is a
17:20
prime
17:27
area Prime real
17:27
estate
17:34
I'm going to start making my way out of
17:35
here so kind of kind of a little uneasy
17:36
in
17:38
here a lot of lot of closed
17:42
drapes
17:45
curtains said there was in a curtain and
17:47

iore and just to give a little
19:29
perspective you got the tennis courts

19:41
celebration right
19:43
over there is the Duncan I just went
19:45
through the drive-thru
19:56
of really is incredible how quickly
19:56
something can
19:57
deteriorate even from the first time I
19:59
checked this place out which is like a
20:01
year
20:15
ago if you go this way there are a
20:15
lot of accommodations Andor
20:19
hotels Resorts things like that and then
20:22
over there I'm drive I'm going to drive
20:23

20:25
big tall building is there's other
20:26
Resorts behind that also but that's
20:29
where the Arabian Nights Dinner Show

20:49
there that is underway it's been
20:52
underway for a long time and also this
20:54

21:00
up they have no more gifts for

Less no more roadway in used to be able
21:08
to just ride right up in
21:10
here but they have now put up fence
21:13

21:24
here not sure why but there
21:27
are
21:32
used to work at this hotel right here at
21:32
the pool bar back in the

day back in the late '90s
21:39
this thing has
21:42
been being worked on for
