The Boring Company plans to connect Universal Orlando Resort's north campus to Universal Epic Universe using a twin-tunnel Loop system with one tunnel in each direction. Permitting, design, and construction could take roughly a year and a half after approvals are secured. Construction could use multiple tunnel-boring machines and temporary support infrastructure such as muck storage pits and stormwater systems. Eight internal specialists would be assigned, including tunnel engineers, structural engineers, and tunnel-boring-machine experts, while six subcontractors would handle fire protection, communications, soil treatment, and concrete work. Operations would mirror the Las Vegas Loop using Tesla vehicles for on-demand, point-to-point express transport. The Shingle Creek Transit & Utility Community Development District voted Feb. 11 to begin contract negotiations after ranking the Boring Company the top bidder.
