"Elon Musk's The Boring Company has been selected for a proposed underground transit system connecting Universal Orlando Resort and the newly opened Universal Epic Universe. The underground transport tunnel is designed to address the persistent gridlock surrounding International Drive. As noted in a blooloop report, Universal's Shingle Creek Transit and Utility Community Development District approved a resolution showing its intent to designate The Boring Company as the contractor for the project."
"The Orlando selection adds to The Boring Company's growing portfolio of Loop-style systems. In Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop has transported more than two million passengers in Tesla vehicles through underground tunnels since 2021. The greater Vegas Loop system is also under construction."
The Boring Company will construct an underground transit tunnel connecting Universal Orlando Resort and Epic Universe to alleviate International Drive gridlock. Universal's Shingle Creek Transit and Utility Community Development District approved a resolution intending to designate The Boring Company as contractor. The agreement covers design, construction, and maintenance and is described as a "point-to-point innovative transportation" initiative with a 25-year term. The tunnel would directly link parks roughly three miles apart, replacing the current bus-only direct connection. Bidders needed substantial bonding, operational experience, and prior comparable project delivery; The Boring Company met the criteria based on its Las Vegas Loop operations. Nearby residents expressed optimism that the tunnels could improve traffic.
