Today we're looking at that giant new theme park Universal Orlando doesn't want you to know they're building. It's located a few miles south of the current resort, near the Orange County Convention Center. We're calling it the 4th gate because Universal has called Volcano Bay their 3rd gate, so while this is technically their 3rd THEME PARK in Orlando, it's their 4th GATE. We're going over technical details like permits filed for new roads, parking lots and water drainage, but also exploring rumors for new ride systems and exciting properties to fill out this new theme park. Hooray for Fantastic Worlds (or whatever they end up calling it)!
