It sounds like 2 huge announcements for YEG, Port Alberta and the mystery announcement. The next few years with this, terminal expansion and new hotel going up will make YEG a even busier place!!!

tokyo express and a subway...

tuffyy · #**1546** Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 9:25 PM**

Also not all through security aswell, so the general public has the chance to use them also.

''Grab and go'' is another idea.CUN has one and it allows people getting on flights to purchase food and beverage to take on the flight.The meals can be pretty good also with the main courses.Offering things like pastas,salads,roasted chicken,etc etc....There already packaged,heated and ready to go.

i am assuming we will not see shovels in the ground for the hotel until that Q1 major announcement...

Kevin_foster · #**1548** Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 9:49 PM**

This Major Q1 Annoucement... in the city, or at YEG?

Coldrsx · #**1549** Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 10:01 PM**

Kevin_foster · #**1550** Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 10:10 PM**

^You have no idea.

Kevin_foster · #**1553** Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 10:24 PM**

How about Closing the Muni completely and moving all traffic to YEG to a new smaller terminal, then building the LRT or HSR from YEG to Edmonton's borders?

Just what I would like

Okay, then was Cold's prediction in the same order of magnatude? Half as big? Too big? And are we talking January announcement? February? April 1?

JAH · #**1555** Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 10:54 PM**

Lets see if Tuffy wants to play a little 'hot or cold' game

CanadianCentaur · #**1556** Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 10:58 PM**

How about.....flights to Asia and HNL!

Oh yeah, and give us some of those flights to IAH and FRA!

Jasper and one o nin · #**1557** Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 11:03 PM**

he's not saying anything.. the speculation is running rampant, and he and Edmonchuck are just sitting back and enjoying.

Moxie's, Kelsey's, Boston Pizza would all be good. And ofcourse fast food stuff like Quizno's, Wendy's and a pizza place of some sort. A food court would be awesome.

Not sure about that Booster Juice on arrivals level. I would've thought some kind of coffee shop (Second Cup) would be better there.

Oh, I forgot Purdy's Chocolates. :-)

I still have a hard time imagining our old U2 cars chugging along at 70km/hr beside unlit wheat fields. Does anyone else find this a little paradoxical?
