These newer, larger units fit well in NYC but haven't so far here. They might have done better if they went a little more studio tour theme than Hollywood.

I think it’s also the shape. The old round one fit well with the curved walkways. This one’s shape and position make it feel plopped down.

That sign looks fantastic, love the font choice for “Universal Studios Florida” at the top. The snack stand is ok I guess.

Okay, now do it to the entirety of the front entrance.

One day we will get a nicely redone entrance like USH.

With that said, I do like these small yet impactful refurbs throughout the parks.

I really do envy USH's entrance it's very nice and cohesive

I guess they need to do one thing better than us at least

This is at the very least the fourth permanent outdoor vending stand that has undergone significant refurbishment at USF this year. Not sure if IOA is seeing any of this, but glad they're doing it at USF.

IOA got a new one in MSHI

There are a couple at IOA that need to be relocated as they stand in the middle of some cramped walkways, but they weren't as outdated as the ones from USF.

Does anyone know why the parade gates in Hollywood have been missing for awhile? In a recent Bio photo you can see them lying on the ground next to the sprung tents

I believe the hurricanes over in recent years specifically had not been kind to the gates from what I’ve heard.

Makes sense. It hasn’t seen a proper refurbishment maybe… ever? Also, Mel’s is as close to VillainCon as Minion Cafe so giving Mel’s a little update in advance of the attraction opening is a good idea. It’s an old structure so some of the restaurants guts probably need to be replaced.

They are installing slides and a ball pit to accommodate all the kids and families that have taken over Horror Nights

My 4 year old will be thrilled, if we can get her away from playing with the scare actors…

On a serious note, any chance we get a new/upgraded menu with the refurb?

Just when you thought the park entrance couldn’t turn any more into a thematic mess than it already is



I like the classic characters, but the art style, and the gigantic “UNI VRS” signs, really bring this down for me. You have this, immediately next to the Minions Land sign, and immediately next to the classic Brown Derby hat shop

Yeah it’s a bit CityWalk for me. Out of place in the park imo.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Would like to see someone defend that

 

[belloq87]

WAY too much going on there.

 

[Jake S]

I agree with @Nick — that's got huge CityWalk energy. Very chaotic.
