Gaylord Palms: Coastal Ballroom points and rigging power
Gaylord Palms is at 6000 West Osceola Parkway, unincorporated Osceola County, with a Kissimmee postal address. For LED in Coastal Ballroom, use that room’s plan and separate structural review, rigging and power.
What can the Coastal drawing establish?
The sheet lists 30,417 sq ft and 24 to 25 ft height. All suspended items must be disclosed, point-load calculations verified before load-in and loads approved by Encore Rigging Services. It prohibits hanging from airwall tracks and assigns all hoists and control to Encore. Submit panels, bars, hoists, truss, cable and accessories with positions and reactions. Individual WLL does not resolve simultaneous loads, structural interaction or lifting sequence; request current review and drawing without transferring figures to Osceola Ballroom or exhibit halls.
| Item | Published data | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Coastal Ballroom | 30,417 sq ft;24–25 ft | Confirm usable elevation at the selected position. |
| Points | 140;1000 lb WLL | Verify revision, reactions and approval without adding capacities. |
| Power | Separate rigging order in the 2026 portal | Confirm provider, voltage, phases and delivery. |
Does rigging pricing include power for motors and the screen?
The August 2026 exhibition portal identifies Encore as exclusive rigging partner and states that motor, lighting and AV power must be ordered separately and is not included in its price. Confirm that boundary and your event kit before issuing orders. Specify voltage, phases, current and delivery points for control, display and playback; do not total panel watts alone. If the assigned supply does not match, do not energize; request service correction while retaining the accepted schematic.
What remains before finalizing access, effects and changes?
The sheet says it is not an exact plan and has a postal code differing from the official 34746 profile; use the hotel-confirmed address and request dock, door, turns and slot rather than dispatching from the drawing’s address. The portal concerns a past event: its cutoffs do not transfer to another show. Floor loads, insurance, schedules and haze/laser or pyrotechnic approval remain missing. Establish the applicable Osceola authority for the project; an Orlando label does not justify Orange County permits. Re-submit load or effect changes before execution.
Frequently asked questions
Do 140 points at 1000 lb permit 140,000 lb?
No. These are point figures on an approximate sheet, not aggregate building capacity or approval of a load distribution.
Can my own motors be used with this plan?
The sheet assigns all hoists and control to Encore. Confirm current scope before preparing outside equipment.
Can the August 2026 portal deadlines be reused?
No. They belong to that exhibition. Obtain the exact event’s deadlines, pricing and loading slot.
Official documentation
The Encore drawing is limited to Coastal and states it is approximate. The portal concerns an August 2026 exhibition. Current dates, pricing and limits for another event remain unconfirmed.
