Shingle Creek Picks Boring Co. to Negotiate Universal Parks Link

The district will test feasibility next, leaving mode, schedule, and funding unresolved.

Overview

  • The Shingle Creek Transit and Utility Community Development District voted to begin contract negotiations with The Boring Company, calling its bid the most innovative point-to-point solution.
  • The move advances a potential connection between Epic Universe and Universal’s original parks, with details still to be determined.
  • The district said it will work with local stakeholders during operational and financial reviews, and any agreement would require board approval.
  • The announcement did not specify a transportation mode or mention tunnels, and reporting notes open questions about tunneling in Florida’s shallow water table.
  • Other bidders included V2R and Sunshine Connection Partners, which proposed an above‑ground light rail, while Orlando and Orange County officials say they have seen no formal plans.
