I've never been to a Universal Park, and I don't really feel the need to, but I'm excited about the news as well. I'll probably go to the new one eventually just to see the Nintendo stuff. I love Nintendo.
I hope that this will help lower the crowds at Disney World since there will be more competition, but realistically I think it will just mean more tourists in Orlando. The new park should also be good for the workers since Disney and Universal will have to become more competitive for their labor. They may even have to do more recruitment outside of Orlando. Maybe the increased competition will get Disney to reconsider the mythical 5th Gate (or not).
Who knows what will happen, but I think it's all positive for everyone.
One of the issues will be everyone finding enough labor - both for CM/TM roles but also all the construction
Hopefully means some higher pay to attract people to move from out of state and still be able to afford to live there (though would then drive up cost of living in the area a bit)
