The reasoning given is that the route for the train was moved from State Road 417 to instead moving along State Road 528 through International Drive and down I-4. This route was preferred by the city of Orlando, Orange County and Universal Orlando resort as the train will now pass close to Universal's new Epic Universe.
“As many people who are involved in this project are aware, the new route configuration does not support a Disney Springs station and as a result, we don’t anticipate being part of this project," Disney spokesperson Avery Maehrer told Orlando Business Journal.
Its too bad that the Disney Springs station was cancelled as many touted it as a possibly replacement for Disney's Magical Express although Mears Connect and Sunshine Flyer have mostly replaced DME even though they are paid options.
