Fair competition is what promotes Orlando's attraction.

As a citizen of orange county since 1999, I fully support this latest addition to the International Dr. corridor. Orlando is a tourist based economy, and attractions like the sky Plex will continue to ensure that Orlando maintains its dominant role as a tourist capital of the world. The sheer fact that Universal Orlando has put up such opposition to this project, clearly puts into perspective how impactful this project can be for our economy. From the additional tax base revenue, as well as the additional jobs it will create, this is a win-win for this community. There's no better place for such a project than international Drive, and the developer is revitalizing an area that was once rundown. I urge County commissioners to greenlight this project immediately and let the project take off.

This would be a monuemental attraction for the amusement industry, do not allow such an opportunity to be be missed

I'm a local resident who enjoys attractions like this one on a regular basis. Don't cave to the pressure of the big parks and big money. This would definitely draw more visitors to the area and boost tax income.

Orlando needs this. Universal should share business with them. I think it would bring in even more tourist. I live here and I'm excited about it

Orlando is a city built off tourism and tourism should be allowed to flourish no matter if it's a major theme park development or a developer wanting to operate on their own land. If International Drive is going to become a destination for all, it should constantly offer new and exciting experiences for tourists. Not everyone can afford a day at Disney or Universal anymore.

We should do what can be done to improve the IDrive experience. I think Universal can survive if the ride gets built. Disney will manage to survive as well

Please allow this build, this would bring the city of Orlando a lot of money considering that this would break height records, therefore people from all around the world would be visiting to ride it. I'm just going to keep this short, just consider saying yes to the build

This sure beats the crappy attractions currently located on I-Drive. Universal just wants everyone to go to CityWalk instead. God forbid we have the world's tallest roller coaster across the street from the worlds largest "entertainment" McDonalds... whatever an "entertainment McDonalds" is...

I believe that a great project like this will continue to improve the distributed high quality venues that the Orlando area needs to continue to expand interest to larger groups of diverse visitors from around the world.

This Project is very important to the Orange County, Orlando, Kissimmee, and others, local economy.
Don't allow that the Universal manipulate and block the private sector investment.

The SkyLine Orange County can use a tall structure to add to the excitement. Universal Studios should be ashamed of themselves for even having something to say about another attraction being opened.

This attraction would be a big draw and is definitely needed.

I think this project is very welcome for I-Drive and would compliment the Orlando Eye, Mango's, New World's largest McDonalds and revitalization of this area.

This will be the best development I-Drive has ever had. Please do not let Universal stop this.

Do not let Universal dictate development policy.
